DataFormDataField delimit stringlenght on x chars

[Volker]

Hy,

can i delimit the inputted string length to 12 chars?

my field in the database had only 12 chars. But i can input more than 12 chars in my DataformDatafield.

If i input more than 12 chars i get an Entity.ValidationError by the submit.

is it not possible to say, that the user can only input 12 characters? i found no property for that...

 here is my definition:

 <telerik:DataFormDataField DataMemberBinding="{Binding mark,Mode=TwoWay}" Label="Mark:"  />

 The field mark hat only 12 chars, what i have to change, that the end user can only input 12 chars?

Hello Volker,

You can either try finding the TextBox, which is placed in the respective DataFormDataField, in the visual tree and set its MaxLength property, or specify ContentTemplate for the field like this:

<telerik:DataFormDataField ... >
<telerik:DataFormDataField.ContentTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox ... MaxLength="5" />
</DataTemplate>
</telerik:DataFormDataField.ContentTemplate>
</telerik:DataFormDataField ... >

DataFormDataField does not expose such property as it is the base type for the other editor fields types, where such property won't make any sense.
