Question on telerik:GridNumericColumn with MaxLength=2 & NumericType="Percent"

[Nagendra Thumuluru]

Hello,

 

I had a question regarding the usage of telerik:GridNumericColumn with MaxLength=2 & NumericType=Percent. My input is 10. So the textbox automatically formats to 10 % in the UI. But, when I try to save the values, it colors the box with red, meaning the input is invalid. This however works when my MaxLength=4. This used to work 2009.3.1208.20 with MaxLength=2. We upgraded to 2015.1.225.35 & it started failing. I understand that there are a lot of changes. But how do I avoid this error?

 Any information is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Bobbie

Hello Bobbie,

This happens due to change in RadInputRendering
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/input/single-input-rendering-mode
By default in next version the property is set to true. The bug with MaxLength happens because of browser changes in 2014 year. Previous browsers were not validating the max length.

The issue is fixed in our latest version. Another solution will be to set the SingleInputRendering=false, to get the old behavior, or to set MinValue=0 and MaxValue=99 instead of MaxLength=2
