  Seems like a dumb question but I can't figure out how to set focus.  I tried:
  
  $("#controlName").data("kendoAutoComplete").input.focus();
  
  the above works for a dropdown but not autocomplete, input appears to be undefined.  How do I manually set focus on a kendoAutoComplete?

  This is working for me:
  
  

  <input  id="username"  data-role="autocomplete"  ..../>

  
  

  $(document).ready(function () {  

         // snip

         $("#username").focus();

  });
