Editable RadAutoComleteBox input area max length

   How to set max length of input area for editable RadAutoComleteBox  so that use can not enter more than specified max length?

Hi Sudhanshu,

I guess you want to limit the entries into the RadAutoCompleteBox, you can try handling the OnClientEntryAdding event in this way:

ASPX:

<telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox ID="RadAutoCompleteBox2" runat="server" OnClientEntryAdding="OnClientEntryAddingHandler". . . .>
</telerik:RadAutoCompleteBox>

JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientEntryAddingHandler(sender, eventArgs) {
        if (sender.get_entries().get_count() > 0) {
            eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
            alert("You can select only one entry");
        }
    }
</script>

Thanks,

Hi Sudhanshu,

Please try the following JavaScript to set the maximumLength for RadAutoCompleteBox.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var maxLength = 20;
    $(".racInput").keyup(function () {
        var text = $(this).val();
        var textLength = text.length;
        if (textLength > maxLength) {
            $(this).val(text.substring(0, (maxLength)));
            alert("Sorry, you only " + maxLength + " characters are allowed");
        }
    });
</script>

Hope this will helps you.
Thanks,
Princy.
