RadTextBox: Drag- and Drop-Problem in IE7

[Ronny]

Hello,

if you have two RadTextBoxes and both will be filled by drag and drop from a text file - for example. When you want to save, the first dropped value will not be saved. It seems that no event will be fired. If you click into the first textbox and then save, both values will be saved correctly.

Greetings,
Ronny

Hi Ronny,

I tried to replicate the described issue locally but to no avail. Please test the online demo below and let me know if the issue appears in it on your side:

Hi Maria,

sorry for my very late answer. Yes, I can replicate the behavior with following steps:

- uncheck "Client Side Validation"
- Drag a text in the field "Name:"
- Drag a number in the field "Age."
- Click "Postback"

Now the first dragged value will disapear.

Hi Ronny,

I have followed the provided steps both in the demo and in a new project of my own but to no avail -  the dragged value is preserved on PostBacks as expected.

Please check out the following video attachment and let me know if I am missing something out to reproduce the issue?

Hi Eyup,

drag and drop within a browser is no problem. The procedure shown in the video is correct. Please drag from a text file or another source like email.

I tested it in Firefox where the text disappear and in IE where the textbox keeps its content but shows the error message.

Hope this helps to reproduce this behavior.

Best regards,
Ronny

Hello Ronny,

Please try the following approach:

<telerik:RadTextBox ... ondrop="textDropped(this,event);">

JavaScript:

function textDropped(sender, args) {
    setTimeout(function myfunction() {
        $find(sender.id).set_value(sender.value);
    }, 2);
}

I hope this will prove helpful. Please give it a try and let me know about the result.

Hi,

I'm looking for a control I can drop content onto from a grid for subsequent processing. I tried RadButton and it has no ondrop attribute. Looking at this post I thought RadtextBox would allow me to do what I wanted, but in the latest release of the toolkit there does not appear to be an ondrop feature available for the RadTextBox.

Can you suggest a static control or surface I could use to drop items onto?

JUST IGNORE ME - I WAS BEING STUPID. OF COURSE I CAN DO THIS!
