Access contentpage control from master page

Hi

I would like to use contentpage controls from master page. the senario is like this...

I have project with master page and master page has a webusercontrol. webusercontrol has button. when webusercontrol button is clicked. the content page's text box should have a focus on it. Button is wrapped in updated panel as its ajax enabled site.

I googled the problem but not offered much help

thanks in anticipation!!!
