Problems while using Input Manager on a RadPageviewControl under RadTabStrip

[Ali]

I have an aspx page in which I am loading 2 Radpageviews in form of tabs using RadTabstrip and RadMultiPageView. I want to add Input validation on a control present on one of the pageviews. When I do so using traditional methods, My tabstrip stops working and it does not switch on clicking on different tabs. It works fine if I don't add the inputmanager. Please Help me out to identify where I am going wrong.

Hi Ali,

Please confirm that you have enabled the Script Debugging in your browser and tell us know if you get any JavaScript errors.

Thanks for the reply Vasil .

The issue subsided automatically after a while. I think there must be some other code interfering with it. Everything is fine now and the input manager is working normally.

But I had another query. How can i prevent input manager from blocking tab change(as i recon it requires a postback) if there is invalid input in any control of the current tab. I have a button for submitting all the tabs data at once and want input validator to kick in when i press the save button.

[Vasil]

Hello Ali,

Setting CausesValidation="false" to your RadTabStrip, should disable the validation during navigation.

Hi Vasil,

I have another problem, I want to set focus to the control which causes validation failure. As I have many tabs , the user after clicking the submit button will not know what just happened if the control to cause validation is not on the same tab . Is there any way I set focus to the control causing validation problems. I have seen a solution but that does not seem to be working in my case. Here is the link http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/general-discussions/radinputmanager-focus-on-error.aspx.

Thanks and Sorry for wasting your time on such silly issues. :)

Hi Ali,

When the validated input is in different tab and it is not visible, it will not get the focus.
However you can try to set SetFocusOnError="true" for one validator, and test if the onfocus event of the input element is fired even if it is on another tab. If it is fired, you can actually change the tab depending on the control.

All the best,

Exactly where do you want me to use SetFocusOnError property? Cause I am using radinputmanager with textbox setting and adding SetFocusOnError on either of them is giving me an error "Type 'Telerik.Web.UI.TextBoxSetting' does not have a public property named 'SetFocusOnError'".
Are you asking me to add this in requiredfieldvalidator, because I am not using any so I will not be able to do so.

[Vasil]

Hi Ali,

Yes I was thinking about the asp Validator's SetFocusOnError property. I am unable to come up with a solution for focusing the correct tab on validation error of a control inside it. You can try to use custom validators that to handle manually. But there is no build in solution that can be applied with the InputManager and such configuration of the TabStrip.
