ASP.NET - Set focus to grid view after search

I have three textbox through which user can search and when he clicked on search button then its postback and give the resultant grid view with checkboxes with each row . But the tab and focus is set to the initial page because of page . But i want it to be on grid view row .

you simply set the currentcell property of gridveiw to set focus on that grid after postback the page.

dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1[1, idx]; 

Hello Friend,

As u have mentioned that u bind the search data to your gridview control, at the same time once data gets populated u can set the focus to first row as well, like this

protected void YourGridName_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
      if (e.Row.Cells[1].Controls.Count > 0)
        e.Row.Cells[1].Controls[0].Focus();
    }

Hope its clear!!
Regards
D

Put this in your page_load

Code:

Utils.FocusControlOnPageLoad(this.GridView1.Client  ID, this.Page)




add this public class
Code:

public class Utils
{
    public static void FocusControlOnPageLoad(string ClientID, System.Web.UI.Page page)
    {
      
      
      
      page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("CtrlFocus", "<script> " + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + "" + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + " function ScrollView()" + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + "" + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + " {" + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + " var el = document.getElementById('" + ClientID + "')" + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + " if (el != null)" + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + " { " + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + " el.scrollIntoView();" + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + " el.focus();" + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + " }" + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + " }" + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + "" + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + " window.onload = ScrollView;" + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + "" + Strings.Chr(13) + "" + Strings.Chr(10) + " </script>");
      
    }
}
