EditorFor is read only

[Kory]

Hi, I work for PeakRC and we have a contract but I don't have the time to look up our account info.

I am using Telerik controls in a new MVC app that we are writing.

I have tried many variations and now I have very simple view:
@using (Html.BeginForm("_CreateMessage", "Message", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "_CreateMessage" }))
{
<fieldset>
<div class="editor-field">
@(Html.Kendo().EditorFor(item => item.Body).Encode(false))
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(item => item.Body)
</div>
</fieldset>
}

and model:
[DataType(DataType.Html)]
[AllowHtml]
public string Body{ get; set; }

the editor displays but is read only.

Help,

Hi Kory,

I tried to reproduce the issue, but everything works as expected on our side. Could you please check this screencast and let me know if I am doing something differently?

Hi Mike,

The best approach is to get the widget's instance after initialization, then remove the contenteditable property, as described in the documentation.

Hi Alexander,

 

thanks for your reply.

what a pity that it's all done via JS and no Dependency properties in Razor.

i decided now to use a DisplayFor to show the value as not editable.
