Hi,
I'm long time Telerik controls user. I'm generally very hapy with them, but I miss one thing. Integrated RadTextBox property which set RadTextBox as Required. When you create long forms, you have two ways how to implement validation:
My dream RadTextBox could be this one (meaning of new parameters is obvious):
I'm not developing wheel for now, those parameters are used in this ExJS implementation:
http://extasp.net/#/form/form_validate.aspx
Their TextBox works absolutly amazing. When non-valid, it sets itself into red, displays explanation bubble etc...
I'm able to achieve this behavior with RadTextBox also, but it will cost a lot of Javascript, implementation of RadToolTip etc. And I'm talking about speed! R.A.D.! :-) I just want to put required="true" into RadTextBox tag and everything is set.
Is there some way how to work with RadTextBox (...RadNumericTextBox, RadMaskedTextBox...) in simillar way?
Thank you very much for your advise.

I'm long time Telerik controls user. I'm generally very hapy with them, but I miss one thing. Integrated RadTextBox property which set RadTextBox as Required. When you create long forms, you have two ways how to implement validation:
- put and configure asp:RequiredFieldValidator to each RadTextBox. It is very painful work and you will end with very messy code
- use RadInputManager with Validation IsRequired="true". This approach is good, but it's working only with classic TextBoxes, not with RadTextBoxes. And then I miss eg. possibility to define different EmptyMessage texts for each control.
My dream RadTextBox could be this one (meaning of new parameters is obvious):
| <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" Runat="server" |
| EmptyMessage="Enter you desired username" |
| Label="User Name" |
| Required="True" |
| RequiredMessage="Username is mandatory" |
| ShowRedStar="True" |
| MinLength="5" |
| MinLengthMessage="Your username is too short" |
| MaxLength="20" |
| MaxLengthMessage="Use shorter username" |
| Regex="[a-zA-Z0-9]" |
| RegexMessage="Please use only alphabet and numbers" |
| > |
| </telerik:RadTextBox> |

Hi Craig,
Indeed, this is a nice suggestion. I will pass it along to our developers for further consideration. Presently, there are no plans to extend the control in a way to include validation. Nevertheless, this option will be considered, and depending on demand, we will look into possible ways to implement it for one of the future versions of the control.
Sincerely yours,
Yavor

Yep me too and soon, this is the sort of functionality you should be including in your controls as standard.
Honestly I do like the Telerik controls but let's face it they don't really cut down on your development time in anyway. It's this sort of functionality plus my big annoyance, the absolutely terrible nature of the documentation.
RAD and Telerik is a bit of a joke.

Hello Christopher,
RadInputManager has built-in validation, which can be seen in action here:

Right, but RadInputManager is nonpractical when it comes to dynamic control creation.
Therefore it would really be interesting to have sutch native validation directly embedded in RadTextBox

Hello Francois,
You can create your textboxes programmatically and then specify the RadInputManager settings dynamically in order to filter the input in these textboxes. I hope this works for you.

Hi Per,
It is not meaningful to use RadTextBox in combination with RadInputManager since the standard asp textbox "converted" by our input manager will attain the same characteristics as the RadTextBox control.

Hello Per,
For this purpose you can use RadInputManager with RegExpTextBox setting for the target textbox(es). See the live examples posted before for more info.

I agree. This should be standard. It's ridiculous that RadInputManager does this but only with the native .NET TextBox control.

Hi Rtelles,
We logged the request for integrated validation, but for Q3 2011 there ware tasks with higher priority. We would perform further research and see if we could do it for the next major release.
Please note that the request is for integrated validation for RadTextBox (and other RadInputs), and this is not the same as making the RadInputManager to manages the RadTextBox.
Best wishes,
Vasil

Hi Nicola,
We are working on this direction, and rewriting part of the client side API and simplifying the validation model of the RadInput control was some beginning steps and with adding the DisplayText/Value properties that will be later used for showing validation warnings. However there is still long way to go and I could not say if such feature will be available in the next release.
Kind regards,
Vasil

Hi,
The most recent release for now is the ServicePack of Q2 2012, and you can check the changes of RadInput in the Q2 2012 release in the blog referred in my previous post. In service packs we do only fixes and does not include new major functionalists. And integrated validation is still not scheduled for Q3.
All the best,

2 years later and we are still awaiting for this functionality. I seriously doubt is hard to include this in the current control. Telerik please hear your customers.

Hello,
We did a lot of research and tests. It looked like it is way too hard to implement such validation keeping compatible with the Asp:Validators and without breaking any of the currently working scenarios. So currently we don't have plans for implementing such validation.
For sample cases it is possible to use min/max values properties provided, instead of RangeValidator. Another option is to create a custom control that to contain RequiredFieldValidator in combination with input to make it required. And then to use it on multiple places.
Kind regards,
