ScriptManager..::.SetFocus Method (Control)

Sets the browser focus to the specified control.

Namespace: System.Web.UI
Assembly: System.Web.Extensions (in System.Web.Extensions.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Sub SetFocus ( _
    control As Control _
)

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As ScriptManager
Dim control As Control

instance.SetFocus(control)

public void SetFocus(
    Control control
)

Visual C++

public:
void SetFocus(
    Control^ control
)

JScript

public function SetFocus(
    control : Control
)

Parameters

control: Type: System.Web.UI..::.Control
The control to receive focus.

Remarks

The SetFocus method works like the SetFocus method for the Page class. Both methods make the specified control the active control on the Web page. The SetFocus method of the ScriptManager class is used to set focus during an asynchronous postback. During postbacks and when the page is first rendered, the SetFocus method calls the SetFocus method of the Page class.

If there are multiple calls to the SetFocus method, the control specified in the last call receives focus.
