We are using the built in MOSS spell checker to check spelling for all controls on the page which includes text boxes as well as rad editor controls. The checker reads the html in the rad editors and thus picks up lots of html coding that it thinks are spelling errors.

Since the rad editors have their own spell checkers which work fine, we want to configure the MOSS spell checker to skip any Rad editor controls. I read here: http://www.codedigest.com/Articles/Sharepoint/231_How_to_skip_SharePoint_spell_check_for_an_input_control.aspx
that you can add an attribute (excludeFromSpellCheck="true") to a control to have the MOSS spell checker skip it but I have tried this and the MOSS spell checker is still catching html code in the Rad Editor control and reporting it as a spelling error.

Any ideas how I can prevent the MOSS spell checker from checking Rad Editors while still letting it check text boxes on the page?

Thanks,
-Carl

How to Cancel Running AJAX Request?

Hi,

Is there a way to cancel an AJAX request in progress (after the onRequestStart stage)?

My use case is as follows: I have some search controls on a page with a RadGrid below. When the search control values change, I trigger a second AJAX request to update the grid. The DB search behind the grid can take a long time, so in this way, the user may still modify the search controls while the grid is updating.

Currently however, when the search controls change, the first grid update must complete before the next AJAX request actually fires, so there isn't really a speed improvement despite the controls being active during the grid update (the requests are queued and fired serially). What I would like to do is cancel any running grid update when the controls change and fire the updated one.

Is this possible? I know it isn't a limit of JavaScript since I've managed this with hand-coded JavaScript & the YUI JavaScript framework, but I can't seem to find a way to do it with RadControls nor with a cursory inspection of the jQuery docs.

Thanks!

Custom RadCombo events order different

Environment:
ASP.NET 3.5, VS2008 professional, C#, Windows7, IE8
RAD Control v 2010.1.309

I am creating an extended server control that inherits from the RadCombo box. The reason is that I want to be able to dynamically add asp.net validation controls based on a property (ValidatorCollection) that is set from the code behind of the containing page. I have successfully accomplished this with an asp.net text box (and other controls). I override the CreateChildControls method. Next I dynamically create the needed validation controls.

The odd thing is that the events seem to fire in a different order compared to other asp.net or Telerik controls (like the RadDateInput).

With ASP.NET controls the events fire in this order:

Hosting Web Page (uses a Master Page) OnInit fires
I set the ValidatorCollection property on the custom web control

On the Custom Control the RenderChildren fires
I dynamically create the needed ASP.NET validation controls.

On the custom Telerik ComboBox control

The ComboBox RenderChildren fires
No dynamic validator will be created since the ValidatorCollection will always be empty.

The hosting Page OnInit fires ….
I set the ValidatorCollection property, but it's too late, render Children already executed.

I tired the page OnPreInit, but it's to early and I get Object not set errors. I don't know if there's anything we can about this. I may just be the nature of a CompositeControl (which I believe the ComboBox is). But, any assistance would be appreciated!

Thanks!

RadPanelItem ItemTemplate 100% child height in a RadPane scrollbar issue

Hi,

I have a panelbar in a radpane which is supposed to fill 100% of the browser height.

I'm then using the panelitem template to place another radpane inside of it. There are two issues:

In the first panelitem I've managed to make the radpane correctly fill 100% of the panelitem template height (using ChildGroupCssClass="splitterItem"), however, there is a scrollbar which I can't get rid of. I've tried things like overflow: hidden !important, but that doesn't seem to work. This scrollbar ends up obfuscating other scrollbars that appear in the itemtemplate radpane (such as one made by a radgrid).
In the second panelitem, there is no css so the scrollbar works correctly, however, it doesn't correctly fill 100% of the panelitem template height.

Any help is appreciated!

RadCombo expanding bizarreness

I have a RadComboBox in a RadWindow that has functioned correctly(expanding up) for nearly a year. I then updated to the latest rad controls and now my combo expands down on the first click and then up on the second click. I've attached 2 images to show what happens. I noticed that the "ExpandDirection" option has been added in the last release or two and was wondering if this could the issue. I tried adding this attribute with "Up" option but the control only goes down when that is added. I am using the 2010.2.826.40 release.
