Hello,

We have a problem with setFocus on our Dynamics 365 Version 1612 (8.2.1.176).

When I set focus on General tab - it should be on top of the screen but after a second the focus is set to a subgrid above the general tab. I do not have any other setFocus functions and I observed that the height of window is changed in this function:

MicrosoftAjax.js

Function.createDelegate = function(a,b)
{
   return function()
   {
      return b.apply(a,arguments)
   }
};

Do you have any idea why is this happening and how to prevent the window to scroll up after I have set the focus to a tab?

Hi ddelic,

This could be because of tab order of fields. The default tabbing order on CRM forms is top to bottom, left to right.

you can write a small script to set the order:

function SetTabOrderForFields() {

for (var i = 0; i < Xrm.Page.ui.controls.getLength() ; i++)

{

var control = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get(i);

var element = document.getElementById(control.getName());

if (element.tabIndex && element.tabIndex != "0") {

if (element.className == 'ms-crm-Hidden-NoBehavior')

continue;

if (element.tagName == 'A') {

if (element.className != 'ms-crm-InlineTabHeaderText')

continue;

}

element.tabIndex = 1000 + (i * 10);

}

}

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Pranav

Hi,

The supported way is that to put the fields in sections of 1 row. Tab will going from up to down it goes to left to right.

I don't think you understood my problem. I have a piece of code that says Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get('general').setFocus(); and suddenly after, the window scrolls up for no reason. This has nothing to to with tab on the keyboard...

So after I set focus to a tab Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get('general').setFocus(); - for a moment I can see "General tab" name and the fields in the tab on the top of the window, and after a second the window scrolls up and the "General tab" is located in the middle of the window which I do not want to beacuse I have set the focus earlier...

well this could be because of field order thats what I suspected. Anyways.

I am not sure of the reason however as a workaround you can hide all other tabs and just make general tab visible and set focus. Check if that works.

Yes, nice thinking. This solved the problem we had, the focus stayed on general tab when I collapsed the tab that contained subgrids. Subgrids definitely are a problem here, will need to investigate this further.
