null text for textbox menu item

[Gone2TheDogs]

I don't see a null text property for a textbox menu item. I need to be able to label the textbox and the null text feature would be perfect for a tight situation like this.

Thanks!

Hello Bob,

If you re adding RadTextBoxElement you can set null text like this:

radTextBoxElement1.TextBoxItem.NullText = "Test";

I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.

Thanks Dimitar. I was using the designer tool to get the textbox, which is a "toolstripTextBox", which doesn't have a NullText property. This surprises me considering how it is used. How else would a user know what the textbox is for?

Hello Bob,

Thank you for writing back.

Most of the properties are exposed on the control level. In the case of the RadTextBoxElement object which is a RadElement and not a control, one can access the hosted standard text box and its NullText property and assign it directly. Additional information about the architecture of our framework is available here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/telerik-presentation-framework/overview/overview.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have other questions.
