maxlength not working

[Ryan]

 Hi,

  I have a RadGrid and in which I have enabled filtering option. I want to restrict the length of the text to be entered. But the maxlength option is not working. Can somebody guide me as to why i'm unable to set the maxlength. Or is there some other way I can accomplish this 

thank you

HI Ryan,

Please try the following code snippet to set the Length of text to be entered.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        GridFilteringItem item = (GridFilteringItem)RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetItems(GridItemType.FilteringItem)[0];
        TextBox txt = (TextBox)item["UniqueName"].Controls[0];
        txt.MaxLength = 5;
    }

Thanks,
Princy
