RadMaskedTextbox - Search via Codebehind on KeyPress

[Jeff]

I have a situation where we want to use a search method that is already in place for post backs on certain pages, however, they want to use the same method but use it for onkeypress to search while the user is entering to return matches, etc.  obviously the onkeypress is client-side and my method is in a class which I can call from the code behind which is server side. Suggestions on this?

Hello,

I suppose you want to attach OnKeyPress event via server side. Here is the sample code.
C#:

txtbox.Attributes.Add("OnKeyPress", "GetKeyPress()");

Note: Handle GetKeyPress() from client side.

Actually I want to fire an async call to the codebehind.  I have the search method available there not on the client side.

Nevermind, I am using OnTextChanged with AutoPostBack set true so that when the control loses focus it fires the method I want. It appears we do not need autocomplete on this particular form.  Though I would be interested in knowing if it can be done.
