Radgrid GridBoundColumn Multiline MaxLength

[Myriam]

Hello
I have a radgrid. When I add a record, in the edit mode, I would like to set a maxlength to my gridBoundColumn which is multiline. I saw that I can't do that, does it have a workaround for this?

Thanks!

Hi,

I hope you are trying to set the MaxLength of the TextBox when the Grid is in edit mode. If so you can either try setting in the aspx or in the code behind as shown below.


ASPX:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="ProductName"  MaxLength="5"   HeaderText="ProductName"   UniqueName="ProductName">

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

or

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)

{

// in insert mode

if ((e.Item is GridEditFormInsertItem) && (e.Item.OwnerTableView.IsItemInserted))

{

GridEditFormInsertItem insertItem = (GridEditFormInsertItem)e.Item;

TextBox txtbx = (TextBox)insertItem["ProductName"].Controls[0];

txtbx.MaxLength = 5;

}

//in edit mode

if ((e.Item is GridEditFormItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))

{

GridEditFormItem editItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item;

TextBox txtbx = (TextBox)editItem["ProductName"].Controls[0];

txtbx.MaxLength = 5;

}

}

Thanks

Hello Surya,

Please note that Batch editing mode is different than other modes. You can find a detailed explanation in the following section:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/rows/accessing-cells-and-rows#accessing-controls-in-batch-edit-mode

You can find related information for implementing Batch editing with templates in this article:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/data-editing/edit-mode/batch-editing/working-with-templates

Hope this helps.
