Focusing jqxMaskedInput

[Michael76Member]

Hi,

How is it possible to set focus on jqxMaskedInput?
I tried the following code:

$(“#myMaskedInput”).find(‘input’).focus();

It’s almost OK, the element gets focus, but the text cursor now is not at the beginning of the text mask but at the end. Is it possible to put it to the beginning? Or alternatively select the whole text?

Hi Michael76,

There’s currently no API for selecting the whole text, moving the Caret or focusing the MaskedInput. I will create a work item about the missing functionality.

Best Wishes,

Hi Peter,

Has this been addressed yet? Or is there a way to select the text when the control is empty and gets the focus? I would like to use the Masked Input control but have a requirement that the user be able to click in the control and start typing. It seems that the cursor ends up at the end of the mask where no input can occur and must click again or press left key to get to the beginning of the mask.

Hi Charles,

MaskedInput not is initialized from Input tag so you can select it with jQuery and call the jQuery’s “focus” method to put the focus to the input tag.
