I'm not sure this is possible. What are you trying to accomplish? There
exists no dependency on a control and its durable datasource - at least not

Set focus on the textbox field in datagrid

I have implemented the datagrid with add function successfully. However,
when one record was added in the grid, the cursor was lost focus to
somewhere. is it possible to set focus on the textbox for further adding
record in the datagrid
