ListView EditItemTemplate

[onseats.ky]

I'm trying to get access controls in the EditItemTemplate of a list
view when the user edits an item. I need to set focus to a textbox in
this template after post back because the ListView is in a long
scrolling div. Without setting focus the user needs to scroll down the
div after postback to get to the item.

I've tried using listview.FindControl('tbxEdit') but this comes back
blank. Does anyone have any ideas?

thanks in advance.

Debug it then you can find the reason!

I have run through the debugger. I must be missing something obvious.
Can you be a little more specific?

ListViewEditEventArgs e)
{
ListView listView = (ListView)sender;
TextBox tbx =
listView.FindControl("tbxTemplate")
