    Hi,

    If I understood your question correctly, then you need to set focus to a particular control/element located in WARP after postback according to a particular action/control which triggered postback.

    I suggest to use clientEvents of WARP.
    On request you may check which element triggered postback and memorize (in global variable) id of element which should get focus after response.
    On response you may find reference to element which should get focus and call its focus/select member methods.

    Below sample will set focus to TextBox1 if Button1 was clicked, and set focus to TextBox2 if Button2 was clicked.

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var idForFocus = null;
    function WebAsyncRefreshPanel1_RefreshRequest(oPanel,oEvent,id)
    {
     idForFocus = null;
     if(!id)
      return;
     if(id.indexOf('Button1') >= 0)
      idForFocus = '<%=TextBox1.ClientID%>';
     if(id.indexOf('Button2') >= 0)
      idForFocus = '<%=TextBox2.ClientID%>';
    }

    function WebAsyncRefreshPanel1_RefreshComplete(oPanel)
    {
     if(!idForFocus)
      return;
     var txt = document.getElementById(idForFocus);
     if(txt) try
     {
      txt.select();
      txt.focus();
     }catch(ex){}
    }
    </script>
    <igmisc:WebAsyncRefreshPanel ID="WebAsyncRefreshPanel1" runat="server" RefreshComplete="WebAsyncRefreshPanel1_RefreshComplete"
     RefreshRequest="WebAsyncRefreshPanel1_RefreshRequest">
      <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
      <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
      <br />
      <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button1" />
      <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button2" />
    </igmisc:WebAsyncRefreshPanel>
