radtextbox and captcha validation

[Damian Chen]

I would like to get validation to work on a form that has radcaptcha, and a radtextbox included.  I cannot get it to work unless I use asptextbox with clientsidevalidation disabled.

I have made sure that the validation group is set the same for both the radtextbox and the captcha control, but the captcha control never seems to validate - even through the radtextbox works just fine.

Is there anything i can do to keep client side validation of the controls that can do it, and validate the captcha control on the server side?

Hi Damian,

At the moment the RadCaptcha control can validate only asp:TextBox. You cannot validate the input from a RadTextBox. If you want the asp:TextBox to visually look like the RadTextBox you can decorate all of the TextBoxes on the page using the RadFormDecorator control.

RadCaptcha performs only server-side validation. However you do not need to turn off client-side validation of all other asp:Validator controls on the page, as the RadCaptcha will validate the input whether or not client-side validation is turned off/on.

Hello Emanuele,

For the time being we do not plan to add support for RadTextBox control, but we will consider improving the RadCaptcha control to support input from different controls in some of the future releases.
