How to prevent typing

[Al]

Hi

My auto complete box gets populated with tokens programmatically by other actions on my page, I would like the user to be able to delete these tokens but not to be able to type in free text - is this possible?

Hi Al,

Please try the approach suggested in the following forum post:

Hi Aneliya,

I saw that post but couldn't get it working. I set the OnClientLoad for my auto-complete and added the handler:

function OnClientLoad(sender) {

    $telerik.$(".racInput").attr("disabled", "disabled");

}

 

 is racInput an internal class or should I use my own control? (but then I'd expect to use: var autoCompleteBox = $find("<%= acTree.ClientID %>");)

Could you please show the aspx for the code above?

Hi Al,

Please find attached a sample project, demonstrating this approach.

Thanks Aneliya, it is weird that code is exactly what I used before and it wasn't working but now it is working fine.
