How can I set the focus on a textbox for Pocket PC mobile 2003?
On load I would like focus on text box so a bar code can be scanned without
any keypading.
I'm currently using C# in Visual Studio to create either a mobile or web
app.
I've tried javascript, looked at WML, but no luck.
As a side note, I cant seem to find a definitve answer to what javascript is
supported on Pocket PC.
Because of the device I'm using, a Symbol device using a an ARM Xscale
processor, I havent been able to find a third party browser.
Below is the java script I've tried. tbScan is the textbox I would like to
have focus.
I've spent a good chunk of time searching the web for an answer, but most of
the stuff out there is half baked.
TIA
Don
System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder("");
sb.Append("<script language='JavaScript'>");
sb.Append("document.getElementById('" + this.tbScan.ClientID +
"').focus();<");
sb.Append("/");
sb.Append("script>");
if (!IsStartupScriptRegistered("Focus"))
{
this.RegisterStartupScript("Focus", sb.ToString());
}

It appears as though JavaScript is not exported to the web page from the aspx
age. I've even hard coded script into the aspx page and no luck, the HTML
page has no script in it. I suspect it has to do with the xml.dtd that is
referenced in the generated HTML page (also not ther is never a <HTML></HTML>
tag pair in the output either).
I've had to resort to using standard ASPX and not the MOBILE ASPX page type.

Using aspx rather than mobile wont help in this case. Java script is not
supported on the client, so it dosent matter what server method is used.
