Workaround: public class MyRadToggleSwith : RadToggleSwitch { public override string ThemeClassName { get { return typeof(RadToggleSwitch).FullName; } } protected override void OnGotFocus(EventArgs e) { base.OnGotFocus(e); this.ToggleSwitchElement.Focus(); } } or simply put focus to the element when the control receives the focus: private void radToggleSwitch_GotFocus(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.radToggleSwitch1.ToggleSwitchElement.Focus(); }
