ASPxSpreadsheet - The Focus method does not work

created 9 years ago

Hi,
I have a very simple page that contains only the ASPxSpreadsheet control and
what i want to do is set the control focus just after the page load is complete.
So i can input something else by the keyboard directly instead of first select
the cell by mouse click and then input.

I tried using the OnLoad event of ASPxSpreadsheet with ASPxSpreadsheet1.Focust();
and also javascript: ASPxSpreadsheet .Focus(), but none of those worked.

Please help, thanks!

    Hello,

    This behavior is incorrect and I forwarded this scenario to our R&D team for further research. Please bear with us.
    In the meantime, it's possible to focus the control using the client-side Init event handler:

    ASPx
    <dx:ASPxSpreadsheet ID="ASPxSpreadsheet1" runat="server" WorkDirectory="~/App_Data/WorkDirectory">  
        <ClientSideEvents Init="function(s, e) { aspxFocusSpreadsheet(s); }" />  
 </dx:ASPxSpreadsheet>  
    JavaScript
    function aspxFocusSpreadsheet(spreadsheet) {  
           var inputController = spreadsheet.getInputController();  
           if (inputController)  
               inputController.captureFocus();  
 }

    I've attached a simple sample.
