MaxLength Property not working for GridNumericColumn

[Manny]

Hi,

I'm creating a grid programmatically and I want to set the MaxLength of a GridNumericColumn but it's not working. MinValue and MaxValue works, but not MaxLength. Please help.

Thanks

Hello Manny,

Generally, this property should work as expected, the only exception being Batch editing, which is a tad different. You can access the generated numbox using the approach demonstrated here:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/rows/accessing-cells-and-rows#accessing-controls-in-batch-edit-mode

In this case it will be something like this:

Copy Code

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    GridTableView masterTable = ((RadGrid)sender).MasterTableView;
    GridNumericColumnEditor editor = masterTable.GetBatchColumnEditor("Freight") as GridNumericColumnEditor;
    RadNumericTextBox numBox = editor.NumericTextBox;
    numBox.IncrementSettings.InterceptArrowKeys = false;
    numBox.IncrementSettings.InterceptMouseWheel = false;
}

An alternative approach is the following:

<telerik:GridNumericColumn ... ColumnEditorID="NumBoxEditor1">

Editor definition on the same page with the RadGrid:

<telerik:GridNumericColumnEditor runat="server" ID="NumBoxEditor1">
    <NumericTextBox runat="server">
        <IncrementSettings InterceptArrowKeys="false" InterceptMouseWheel="false" />
    </NumericTextBox>
</telerik:GridNumericColumnEditor>

Instead of Intercept properties, just set the MaxLength and this should do the trick.
