RadInputManager with ValidationSummary

[Lucania]

Hi,

Is it possible for different text to be displayed in the TextBox and the ValidationSummary for a TextBox validated using TextBoxSetting? Reason for this is TextBoxes are restricted width, so I would like to display just "Invalid" in the TextBox, but more details of what is wrong in the ValidationSummary. I can only find ErrorMessage property, which seems to be used in both places.

Is this possible? Thanks.

Hello Ross,

You could override the get_errorMessage of RadInputComponent to return something different from the original error message. Still the summery will show the original one, since it is set only once when the validators are created server side, and it is not get dynamically. Here is some example:

<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="TextBox3"></asp:TextBox>
<telerik:RadInputManager runat="server">
  <telerik:DateInputSetting Validation-IsRequired="true" ErrorMessage="You should enter date into the textbox above">
    <TargetControls>
      <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="TextBox3" />
    </TargetControls>
  </telerik:DateInputSetting>
</telerik:RadInputManager>
<script type="text/javascript">
  Telerik.Web.UI.RadInputComponent.prototype.get_errorMessage = function ()
  {
    //return this._errorMessage;
    return "invalid";
  };
</script>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" Text="PostBack" runat="server" />
<asp:ValidationSummary ID="valSum" DisplayMode="BulletList" runat="server" HeaderText="Summary:" />

Kind regards,
