Hi,
I have more experience working with Windows.Forms than with WebForms
and sometimes it trips me up.
When my page loads, I want a particular textbox to have the focus. I
am attempting to do it using logic like this:
if TextBox1 CanFocus then
TextBox1 Focus()
end if
But the compiler does not like that because the web version of the
TextBox class does not have CanFocus or Focus()
How do I set the focus to the desired textbox?

Since focus is a client side action you'll have to do it with some
JavaScript. In version 1.1 of the framework, you can follow the
instructions on http://www.davefancher.com/BlogEntry.aspx?ArticleID=14 [C#
example but the conversion should be easy]. Version 2 has this
functionality built in.

Joe you can use this in page_load
and make sure you import "Imports System.Text
and txtAge is the ID of your textbox
Dim strBuilder As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder
strBuilder.Appe nd("<script language='javas cript'>")
strBuilder.Appe nd("document.ge tElementById('t xtAge').focus() ")
strBuilder.Appe nd("</script>")
RegisterStartup Script("Focus", strBuilder.ToSt ring)
Hope it helps

Hi Joe,
First of all you should understand that web application is different from
desktop application. The web application runs on a client-server mode. Any
web server control only exists on server-side. Once rendering to client-side,
it is destroyed. And corresponding html component is shown on client-side.
Actually a 'focus' event occurs on client-side. So client-side JavaScript
code can be used to conduct focus and other events.
Following code snippet shows how to set TextBox focus:
String strFocus = "<script>docume nt.all." + txtbox.ID + ".focus();</script>";
Page.RegisterSt artupScript("fo cusTextBox", strFocus);

I have a textbox that i am adding to (in codebehind of ASP.NET) and
need to ensure that the focus is scrolled to the bottom of the textbox
each time the page refreshes, and then set focus to a 2nd textbox

I have tried a couple functions I found posted online but they don't

Hi,
I need to create a textbox which acts as a normal textbox but with the
following extra requirements:
1) In-focus color, when the textbox gets focus the backcolor property
of the textbox should be set to a, selectable, in-focus color.
2) Out-of-focus color, when the textbox loses focus the backcolor
property of the textbox should be set to a, selectable, out-of-focus
color.

Hi ,

This works the first time I display the form. But...

I asked this question a couple of days ago but am just now looking at it
again.
I used to use the textbox gotfoucs event to have all the text in the
textbox selected when it gotfocus. That doesn't seem to work in .net
when the textbox receives focus via a mouse click.
Jeffrey and Shane both advised how to get a mouse click to select all
the text (thank you both) but using the mousedown or mouseup events
doesn't work the way I want it...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
