Focus Filter by text tool bar item on showing a list view

How to set focus to FullTextSearchBox by code?

created 16 years ago

Hello,
I would like to clear the fulltext searchbox and place the focus in the box (by code).
My first line:
- Frame.GetController<FilterController>().FullTextFilterAction.Value = null;
Can you help me with the second one? This line should place the cursor in that box.
thanks

      Hello,
      I have managed to catch the ItemLink of fulltextsearch, but neither
      itemLink.Focus();
      nor
      manager.SelectLink(itemLink);
      do work.
      I'm using this code:
      BarManager manager = template.BarManager;
                          if (Frame.Template != null)
                              foreach (IActionContainer container in Frame.Template.GetContainers())
                                  if (container is ActionContainerBarItem)
                                  {
                                      ActionContainerBarItem actionContainerBarItem = (ActionContainerBarItem)container;
                                      foreach (BarItemLink itemLink in actionContainerBarItem.ItemLinks)
                                          if (itemLink.Item.Tag.ToString().Contains("FullTextSearch"))
                                          {
                                              itemLink.Focus();
                                              manager.SelectLink(itemLink);
                                          }
                                  }
      can you help me?
      thanks

        Hello Reinhold,
        To accomplish your task, you can use the BarItem.PerformClick method, as shown in following code:

        C#
        if (Frame.Template is DevExpress.ExpressApp.Win.Templates.MainForm) {  
    BarManager manager = ((MainForm)Frame.Template).BarManager;  
    manager.Items["Filter by Text"].PerformClick();  
}

        Please let me know if you need any further help.
        Thanks,
        Anatol
