Set focus to a control inside a Updatepanel in Atlas

[MSDN]

After a postback, how do I set focus onto a control that is inside an
updatepanel?

Hello Ssflynn,

As for the ATLAS updatepanel setfocus function you mentioned, I've
performed some local tests, it seems the Page.SetFocus method or
Page.ClientScript.RegisterXXXX methods will work only if the
"scriptmanager" is configured as "enablepartialrendering=false". However,
in such mode, the whole page will be rerender when we perform postback.

<atlas:Scriptmanager id="ScriptManager" runat="server"
enablepartialrendering="true" />

Currently, I'm doing some further research to see whether we can find a way
to set control focus when use "partialrendering" mode for updatable. I'll
update you as soon as I've got any finding.

Sincerely,

Hello Ssflynn,

How are you doing on this issue? After further discussion with some
production engineer, so far there is no built-in API or interface that will
control focus in atlas udpatepanel. However, In Atlas 1.0 and future
versions we'll have built-in control focus support (e.g.
ScriptManager.SetFocus(Control), etc.).

Hi Venkat,

Thanks for your input.

So far what I've got the from the product team is that the focus control
(ATLAS specific) will be provided in the 1.0 release only).

I still would like to be able to do this, I've given up on it so far.

Has the Atlas 1.0 been released yet?

 

[Steven Cheng[MSFT]]

Thanks for your followup Ssflynn,

So far the available ATLAS package is still the CTP version. We haven't got
the definite date of the relase of ATLAS 1.0. Anyway, you can keep
monitoring on the www.asp.net ATLAS home on any new update.

There is a solution to this problem.

You just need to register the clientscript at server side to set the focus on control.

Script is as follows:

string script = "document.getElementById('" + TextBox1.ClientID + "').focus();";

script = script + " WebForm_AutoFocus('" + TextBox1.ClientID + "');";

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "script1", script, true);
