how to programmatically focus on dropdowns

Question

Using the Angular 2 Dropdowns, how can I programmatically set focus to it? the examples show how to get the focus event, but not how to set focus.

Let's assume your dropdowns are select, for i don't know what a kendo dropdown is. Start by creatign a local variable :

<select #dropdown></select>

In your component, get that variable reference :

@ViewChild() dropdown: ElementRef;

Now, you can trigger the focus with

this.dropdown.nativeElement.focus();
