Kendo IntegerTextBoxFor select all numbers on focus

I've seen many great posts on using jQuery to select all text for regular input boxes...

$("input[type='text']").on("click", function () {
   $(this).select();
});

The above works great for

  @Html.TextBoxFor(...etc

But does not work for:

@Html.Kendo().IntegerTextBoxFor(...

and

 @Html.Kendo().CurrencyTextBoxFor(...

I tried to see if there's a focus event in Kendo I could attach to so I could select all, but no joy.

The funny thing is, the rendered input control does have type="text" so the jQuery input[type='text'] SHOULD work...but doesn't.

Anyone find something that works for these guys?

Solution

I'm not sure if this will exactly work, but might get you started.

To do [much] with the Kendo rendered controls, you have to do something like:

var control = $('#my-control').data('kendoNumericTextBox');

Then you can call methods/properties on control.

So, in this case, something like this might work:

var control = $('#my-control').data('kendoNumericTextBox');
control.focus();
