I have a section of textboxes and drop downs in an UpdatePanel.

 

textbox2 has a 'TextChanged' event that correctly updates dropdown3. I would like the cursor to then move to textbox4. So, in the same event handler for the TextChanged I put textbox4.Focus(). When the update happens, the cursor is not in any box. However, if I hit the tab key, the cursor appears in textbox1 the first input control in the update panel.

 

How can I get the cursor to correctly appear in textbox4?

Yes, I was trying that, but it didn't work.

 

What I did was:

 

Private thisScriptManager As New ScriptManager

' In the Page Load

thisScriptManager = ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Me)

' Then in the code behind for the event

thisScriptManager.SetFocus(txtCTB)

Well, at least he isn't calling MsgBox() from within ASP.NET.

I tried javascript... but I ended up going this route cause it's cleaner. I still think that textbox.focus should work the same whether or not it's in an updatepanel or not.
