Capture RadTextBox's isDirty flag

[systems]

Hello,

I have multiple RadTextBox & RadNumericTexBox on our form. The scenario is I need to find out if specific RadTextBox's value being tampered or not during editing form.

Based on if the textbox is dirty(value got tampered than original) I need to call different eventsat client side. 

I do not see any specific attribute for the same for RadTextBox or any specific event that will allow me identify isDirty flag. 

Could you please advise on the same.

Thanks,

Imran

Hi Imran,

The RadInput controls do not have a dirty flag out of the box. If you would like to detect where the user has changed the values you would need to implement custom logic.

An approach you can use is to keep information for the changed input controls in a HiddenField. Before executing the custom methods you can check the HiddenField and run the corresponding logic.

Thank you Viktor for your reply, 

We are currently using a similar approach with use of OnValueChanged of RadTextBox, In which we are comparing old value v/s new value and set the dirty flag accordingly.

However, on a side note it would be nice to have (may be in a newer version consideration of telerik) a isDirty or isModified flag for RadControls like textBox/Calender/TimePicker etc to know if the values is changed during the edit. 

Thanks,

Imran
