Using RadInputManager To Compare Two TextBox Controls

[Troy]

Does anyone know if it's possible to use the RadInputManager to compare two TextBox controls the way a CompareValidator control does? I like having the warning icons in my TextBox controls and when I use the CompareValidator control, I don't get them when two TextBox's text properties are different.

Hi Troy,


You could use the client OnValidating event of the textbox settings to perform a comparison between the two textboxes and set the textbox value as invalid if they are different (eventArgs.set_isValid(false)).

<telerik:RadInputManager runat="server">
    <telerik:TextBoxSetting ClientEvents-OnValidating="validating">
        <TargetControls>
            <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt" />
        </TargetControls>
    </telerik:TextBoxSetting>
</telerik:RadInputManager>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function validating(sender, eventArgs) {
        if(....) {
            eventArgs.set_isValid(false);
        }
    }
</script>

Kind regards,
