Hiding the textbox

[Stuart Hemming]

Using the AsyncUpload control renders the input textbox largely irrelevant so I thought I'd have a go at hiding it.

Typically, I wasn't doing things in a straightforward page. I have a user control that contains a RadWindow which itself contains a <CententTemplate> element. The AsyncUpload control is in that.

I thought that I would be able to hide the control using the OnClientShow event of the RadWindow and so, I wrote this ...

function OnClientShow(sender, e) {
  $telerik.$(".ruFakeInput").hide();
}

Imagine my surprise when it worked first time!

Then I actually used the upload control to, well, upload something. When the files had finished uploading the input came back.

The solution was to wire up the AsyncUpload's client event OnClientFileUploaded in which I execute the same line as in the OnClientShow event.

Job done.

Just thought I'd share.

Hi Stuart,

You can also hide it with css as in this example.

Do you know, I must have looked at that demo half a dozen times and never noticed that there was no textbox!

Mind you, that's me all over; Mr Reinvent-the-wheel!
