Maxlength character restriction in Grid bound column

[Gokulanathan]

We have a requirement to control maximum length character restriction in Grid bound column while user entering values in field. It would be better if maximum length can be controlled without using editor template.
Please provide a sample code to achieve our requirement.

Hello Gokulanathan,

 

There are two possible ways of achieving the desired functionality: 

 

     1. To execute validation logic for a model field. In the Grid / Custom validator editing it is shown how to define a custom rule to check whether the product name starts with capital letter. The validation handler will be fired when the input field looses its focus. 

    2. If you want to execute your custom logic while user is typing you can use the edit event of the Kendo UI Grid. From there you can find the input element and bind to keydown or keypress events.
