setting input focus to cfgrid

onDocImagingSearchSelection is called by this function when I load and configure my grid after a new user's search.

function loadGrid(booIndex) {
...
g_objSearchGridSelectionModel.addListener('selectionchange',onDocImagingSearchSelection);
...

Here was the final solution:

// get the grid component
var objSearchGrid = ColdFusion.Grid.getGridObject("searchGrid");

// Create a reference to the selection model.
g_objSearchGridSelectionModel = objSearchGrid.getSelectionModel();

// get the datasource
g_objSearchGridDataSource = objSearchGrid.getDataSource();

...

// Get the selected row
var objRow = g_objSearchGridSelectionModel.getSelected();
var intRow = g_objSearchGridDataSource.indexOf(objRow);

...

// Reset the grid focus back to the record changed
g_objSearchGridSelectionModel.selectRow(intRow,true);

Thanks, but I had and did not see any good example. I did see the generic info:
ColdFusion.Grid.getGridObject('yourgridname').getSelectionModel().selectRow(rownumber);

However I still wasn't getting this part to work until I moved the call to the last action in the function where it was located, even though the other function effects did not deal directly with the grid.

That did not seem to work for me. Also I was trying to something slightly different and was looking for a way to keep the grid selected on a record even after I did a grid refresh or reselect the record I was on after a grid refresh. For example, if a user edits a record in a form below the grid and saves the data, I don't want the selector moving to the first record, which it does now. I have the key field value for the record in the grid, just need to get the focus on it in the grid. Ideas?

You need to reference the underlying ext grid


This is untested code but should be close

var myGrid = ColdFusion.Grid.getGridObject("gridName");
selModel=myGrid.getSelectionModel();

selModel.selectRow(Number row) ;

Okay, so no clues here, eh?

I believe that CF's HTML grid is essentially a set of DIVs, but there is apparently a keyboard interface that enables you to use the keyboard to select rows. So one would think that there is a way to select one of the divs when the page loads.
