What's new in Telerik RadInput v2.0
- Two new controls are added to the RadInput suite - RadTextBox and RadNumericTextBox.
- The old RadDateInput has been refined - 'smart parsing engine' is added (Microsoft Outlook-style date input), its object model is reorganized and extended and its integration with RadCalendar is more intuitive now. The performance is greatly optimized. The logic controlling the EmptyDate value is decoupled now from MinDate, i. e. MinDate property will have separate meaning now (valid for selection).
- The old RadMaskedTextBox performance has been greatly optimized and a few enhancements are added to it.
What's new in Telerik RadInput v1.5
- Seamless interoperability with ASP.NET AJAX Release Candidate
- Full compatibility with Visual Studio .NET 2005 Service Pack 1 and ASP.NET Web Application Project template
What's new in Telerik RadInput v1.3
As of our Q2 2006 release all resources (scripts, the default skin, etc) are implemented as Embedded WebResources in ASP.NET 2.0 for a very easy and convenient deployment. The only thing you now need to do is drag r.a.d.input from your toolbox onto your web page (no external files will be required). The /RadControls folder will only be needed if you plan to use a skin other than the default or if you make any modifications to the script files.
What's new in Telerik RadInput v1.2
Telerik RadInput is now compatible with Atlas. See Atlas support.
New features in Telerik RadInput v1.1
For version 1.1, Telerik RadInput introduces some new properties, which allow you to define the way value is displayed when the control is not focused (also referred to as display format).
- DisplayMask
- Allows you to set the display format of the MaskedTextBox.
- DisplayPromptChar
- Determines the DisplayMask prompt. For example you may use "_" for PromptChar, and " " (interval) for DisplayPromptChar.
- DisplayFormatPosition
- This property determines whether the value of the control is displayed starting from the left (default) or from the right of the DisplayMask. For instance - if you have Mask set to ##### and DisplayMask set to ###.## and you type 75, DisplayFormatPosition set to Left will result in 175.00, while Right will display 001.75 when displayed.
- DisplayDateFormat
- This property is specific for the date input control, and specifies the display format of the date value.
- DbSelectedDate
- Useful when data binding date input control, and the field may be DBNull. If this is the case, bind the control using this field (direct binding to SelectedDate will result in type cast error). If the DbSelectedDate is set to Null or DBNull the control will have the MinDate value set.
- Focus method (server side)
- Now you can call Focus in the Page_Load method, and the input will obtain focus when the page is loaded.
