Focus on TextField not working when button pressed in Dialog - Material UI
My goal is to set focus on a Material UI TextField after closing a Dialog by clicking a button in this Dialog.
The following piece of code works when I call it from a button that is not in a dialog component:
focusTitle = () => {
this.setState({ isOpen: false });
this.myRef.current.focus();
};
Code of button:
<Button onClick={this.focusTitle} />
Code of textfield I want to focus on:
<TextField
inputRef={this.myRef}
label="Title"
id="title"
multiline
rowsMax="4"
value={this.state.title}
autoFocus={true}
className={classes.title}
helperText="Enter a catchy title"
onChange={e => this.onTitleChange(e.target.value)}
/>
But as soon as I try to call the focusTitle() from a button within a dialog it does not trigger the focus.
Code of dialog:
<Dialog
open={this.state.isOpen}
onClose={this.focusTitle}
aria-labelledby="alert-dialog-title"
aria-describedby="alert-dialog-description"
>
<DialogTitle id="alert-dialog-title">{"Warning"}</DialogTitle>
<DialogContent>
<DialogContentText id="alert-dialog-description">
Warning Message!
</DialogContentText>
</DialogContent>
<DialogActions>
<Button onClick={this.focusTitle} color="primary">
OK
</Button>
</DialogActions>
</Dialog>
Anyone has an idea why my .focus() is not working in the case of the dialog? If I log this.refs.myRef in both cases it shows the exact same result.
Thank you!

Your dialog probably has a closing animation. As long as the animation is running, the focus() function will not be called correctly.
To prevent this, create a callback for the animation or a timeout for the duration of the animation, to trigger the focus() afterwards. Like this:
focusTitle = () => {
this.setState({ isOpen: false });
setTimeout(
function() {
this.myRef.current.focus();
}
.bind(this),
500 // Change to duration of the animation
};
