Hi

Can anyone help with a simple code to implement radcaptcha with invisible textbox? I saw the demo code but I got a bit confused there. I cant figure out the thing they are doing there.

Thanks

Hi

Please have a look into the following sample code i tried which works fine as expected.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server" Label="UserName : ">
</telerik:RadTextBox>
<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox2" runat="server" Label="Password : " TextMode="Password">
</telerik:RadTextBox>
<telerik:RadCaptcha ID="RadCaptcha1" runat="server" ProtectionMode="InvisibleTextBox">
</telerik:RadCaptcha>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server">
</asp:Label>
<telerik:RadButton ID="btnVerify" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="btnVerify_Click">
</telerik:RadButton>
<br />
<br />
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" Text="Fill the Invisible TextBox to invalidate page"
    onclick="fillInvisibleTextBox(this);" />

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function fillInvisibleTextBox(sender) {
        var invisibleTextBox = $get("<%=RadCaptcha1.ClientID %>_InvisibleTextBox");
        if (sender.checked) {
            invisibleTextBox.value = "SomeText";
        }
        else {
            invisibleTextBox.value = "";
        }
    }
</script>

C#:

protected void btnVerify_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (Page.IsValid)
    {
        Label1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
        Label1.Text = "Page submitted successfully!<br/><br/>";
    }
    else
    {
        Label1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
        Label1.Text = "Page not submittes. Invisible textbox was filled by a bot!<br/><br/>";
    }
}

Thanks,

Hi shinu

Is it possible to get the captcha text in code behind? I tried but I am getting some invalid characters not same as the one in the captcha text.

Hi Saravanan,

It is possible to get the RadCaptcha text in code behind. Suppose you are trying to access the RadCaptcha text in code behind you wont get the exact text displayed in the RadCaptcha image. This is because when the control post back, the RadCaptcha is updated with a new captcha image and the characters that are displayed in the updated image will be received in your C# code and hence you get some new characters which you described as invalid. You can try the following code to access the captcha text.

C#:

protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        Session["CaptchaCode"] = RadCaptcha1.CaptchaImage.Text;
    }
}

protected void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Write("<script>alert('" + Session["CaptchaCode"].ToString() + "')</script>");
    //your code

    Session["CaptchaCode"] = RadCaptcha1.CaptchaImage.Text; //updating with new captcha text.
}

Hope this helps,
Shinu.

Hi shinu

Instead of using a label, is it possible to add an icon to generate a new captcha image?

Hi Saravanan,

Please have a look at the following code I tried which works fine at my end.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadCaptcha ID="CaptchaCode" runat="server" EnableRefreshImage="true" CaptchaLinkButtonText="<br/>">
</telerik:RadCaptcha>

CSS:

<style type="text/css">
    .rcRefreshImage
    {
        background-image: url('../Images/refresh.png');
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        margin-left: 185px;
        margin-top: -20px;
    }
</style>

Thanks,
Shinu.
