Expandable MultiLine TextBox

[Gabriel Beauchamp]

It would be really cool if the MultiLine TextBox had the ability to automatically expand as the user types in some text.

Just a suggestion for future releases.

Thanks,

Hello Gabriel,


Thank you for the great feature request! Unfortunately this behavior is not available out of the box. We have logged this into our system and our RadInput developers will do their best to implement it.

Hi Gabriel

I needed this functionality so I built it myself using javascript:

var txtTo = $find("<%= txtTo.ClientID %>").TextBoxElement;

var numberOfRows;

//Do some calculations to set rows

txtTo.rows = numberOfRows;

Regards

I was doing this, but I just upgraded to the latest release and now TextBoxElement is not a valid property?

My code was this:

     function CommentsChange(sender,args) {
        sender.TextBoxElement.rows =Math.floor(sender.TextBoxElement.value.length/sender.TextBoxElement.cols) +1;
    }

It no longer works...and using getelement() and setting the rows doesn't work.

HELP!

Hello Daniel,

The api for the asp.net version of the control is slightly different than the standard one. Review the suggested methods and let me know if further questions arise.
