Disabling all Telerik Controls on Single Page at Once

[Kevin]

Is there a way to use only a single command to disable all the telerik controls on a singe page in one command?

If there isn't, they can still be disabled individually, but it is a nice time saving trick if there is.

Note that we have found tutorials that describe how to individually make telerik controls read only, through programming code.  (Here is a good example: http://www.telerik.com/forums/programmatically-enabling-disabling-grid-row-editing)

Hi Kevin,

Please try the following JavaScript code snippet to disable all the Telerik controls.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function pageLoad() {
        var allRadControls = $telerik.radControls;
        alert(allRadControls.length);
        for (var i = 0; i < allRadControls.length; i++) {
            allRadControls[i].set_enabled(false);
        }
    }
</script>

Thanks,
Shinu.

Sorry for the delayed response.

Is it possible to do this using only server side code (for security reasons)?

Hi Kevin,

In order to do it from server you need to access each control separately and you can disable it. Please have a look into the following C# code snippet which works fine at my end.

C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (var controls in form1.Controls.OfType<Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox>())
    {
        //access all the combobox in the page
        controls.Enabled = false;
    }
    foreach (var controls in form1.Controls.OfType<Telerik.Web.UI.RadTextBox>())
    {
        //access all the textbox in the page
        controls.Enabled = false;
    }
}

Hope this will helps you.
Thanks,
Shinu.

Well, a long time passed but i needed a script like this.

I have only one issue: it doe's not disable radComboBoxes. 

Any idea?

Hello,

The server-side solution works 100% properly on my side:

foreach (var controls in form1.Controls.OfType<Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBox>())
{
    //access all the combobox in the page
    controls.Enabled = false;
}
foreach (var controls in form1.Controls.OfType<Telerik.Web.UI.RadTextBox>())
{
    //access all the textbox in the page
    controls.Enabled = false;
}
foreach (var controls in form1.Controls.OfType<Telerik.Web.UI.RadButton>())
{
    //access all the textbox in the page
    controls.Enabled = false;
}

while the client-side needed some tweaking because you need to call the combobox disable() method:

disable() instead of set_enabled()

Check out this article:

I hope this helps.
