limit length on gridview column

[Donna]

How can I limit the length of characters user can enter on a particular gridview column?

I tried this code but I got an error saying that there is no definition for MaxLength?

 

void radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)     
{     
    if (e.ColumnIndex == 1)  
    {  
        if (e.Column is GridViewTextBoxColumn)     
        {     
            ((RadTextBoxEditorElement)((RadTextBoxEditor)this.radGridView1.ActiveEditor).EditorElement).MaxLength = 30;     
        }     
    }  
}

Hello Donna,

Here is how you can set the MaxLength:

private void RadGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    var editor = e.ActiveEditor as RadTextBoxEditor;
    if (editor != null)
    {
        var element = editor.EditorElement as RadTextBoxEditorElement;
        element.TextBoxItem.MaxLength = 30;
    }
}

I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.
