Hi Murali,

Why dont you use the defaultButtonId property of Transparent Container and try out?

Hi Murali,

You need to put in the ID of the button that is supposed to be default button inside of the container hierarchy of this container. There's a dropdown at this property to assist you.

Hi Murali,

Do you have an input field or some other focus receivable ui element inside of the transparent container? If so, if you place the cursor inside and press enter, will a roundtrip be triggered?

Hi Thomas,

How can i bring focus to an Input field. The property mentioned is defaultButtonId. I just have a transparent container with 3 buttons. I gave a particular button id as value to the proprty of defaultButtonId of the Transparent container. I am not able to see any focus being set at all. Have you tried this before.

Hi Murali, to me it's not clear to me if you are trying to get the focus on an InputField or on a Button (as stated in the first message of your post).

Hi Sergio,

I am trying to set focus to a button in a Container. Generally in AbstractPortalComponent/JSPDynpage/HTMLB we have the option to make one buton on the screen as the default button. So whenever the user hits the Enter key, the action attached to that button is fired. I am just trying to simulate this in WDA.

As Thomas said : "If so, if you place the cursor inside and press enter, will a roundtrip be triggered?"

What you can do is:

- define a default button for a transparent container

- run the application

- click in the transparent container area (it is transparent but you should know where it is and how big it is)

- you will see that the default button will be focused

- press the space bar

Maybe it is not exactly what you are looking for but it is how it works,
