RadTextBox collection access in javascript

[Ken Jones]

Hello,

I have come across the following javascript code to access a collection of ComboBox objects:

var combos = Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox.ComboBoxes;

Is there an equivalent for RadTextBoxes?

Thanks,

Ken Jones

Hello Ken,

As far as I know,  there is no such direct method to get the RadTextBox collection. You can try the following approach to meet your scenario.

JavaScript:

function GetRadTextBoxes()
{
    var allRadTextBoxes = [];
    var allRadControls = $telerik.radControls;
    for (var i = 0; i < allRadControls.length; i++)
    {
        var element = allRadControls[i];
        var isRadTextBox = element instanceof Telerik.Web.UI.RadTextBox;
        if (isRadTextBox)
         {
            Array.add(allRadTextBoxes, element);
         }
    }
 alert(allRadTextBoxes.length);
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hello,

Thanks for the repsonse, that works for me, I now need to be able to test on the client id of each of the textboxes to know whether to update them or not, the following link does not seem to inform me as to how I get the id.

Hello,

Thanks again for your reply but as far as I can see, the link that you suggested does not answer my question.

Hello Ken,

You can try the following approach to access the ClientID of the RadTextBoxes.

JavaScript:

for (var i = 0; i < allRadTextBoxes.length; i++)
    {
        var txt = allRadTextBoxes[i];
        alert(txt._clientID);
    }

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thanks, I will give that a go.

Hello,

This works thanks. Unfortunately the next thing I tried doesnt work now. I need to be able to access the updated value of the text box from server side code. I have acheived this with a RadListBox using trackChanges() and commitChanges(). When I use these methods with my RadTextBox I get the message 'Object doesn't support this prpoerty or method'. Is there another way to acheive this?

Thanks again,

Ken

Hello Ken Jones,

You can get the new value from the arguments of the server TextChanged event of the RadTextBox.
If you need to access it on the client please use get_textBoxValue()

Thanks for the update.

I think that part of the problem here is that my RadTextBox is sat inside the FormTemplate of a RadGrid, I am accessing the value in the UpdateCommand method server-side but thefollowing code results in the original value being stored in site.Client and not the value that has been updated client side.

RadTextBox uiTxtClient = (RadTextBox)editedItem.FindControl("uiTxtClient");
site.Client = uiTxtClient.Text;

Let me know if anything needs changing.

I have now worked the problem out to be that my text box is read only....
