In our code when we set TextMode="MultiLine" the user can't copy and paste into the textbox. This happens in IE 7 but seems to be OK in IE 8. Anyone else have this issue? Seems to be OK in Firefox as well.

 

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="TxtBx" Runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine">

 

</telerik:RadTextBox>

Hi Mark,

Which version of RadControls are you using? Is the problem reproduced on the online demos (which use the latest version)?

Hi Mark,

I am sorry, I don't see any problems with pasting inside RadTextBox in IE7 and RadControls 2009.3.1314. I tried pasting with right-clicking the mouse and with Ctrl-V - both worked.

Please provide a full runnable web page or modify the following until the issue is reproduced:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
 
<head runat="server">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<title>RadControls</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server" />
 
<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server" MaxLength="200" TextMode="MultiLine" Width="800px" Height="500px" />
 
</form>
</body>
</html>


Best wishes,

On the demo page

http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/input/examples/radtextbox/firstlook/defaultcs.aspx 

If you set Max length to 200 and try copy and pasting in the Multi-Line textbox it works for you?

Hi Mark,

That's right, it works. Tested with both the latest RadControls version and your version in IE7.

We found the issue had to do with a local administrative IE setting set by the internal IT department. Here is how you can replicate the behavior.

In IE go to  Tools>internet Options> Security Tab.  select the Internet zone and click on Custom Level.  Scroll to near the bottom under the section called scripting.  "Allow Programmatic clipboard access". Select Disable.

In IE go to http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/input/examples/radtextbox/firstlook/defaultcs.aspx

Set Max Length: 100

In the Multi-Line: Textbox try to copy and paste some text.

It doesn't work.

In a Asp.Net TextBox control we don't have this issue.

It relates to setting the max length and Multi Line.

Hello Mark,

In order to support MaxLength for <textarea> elements (which normally do not have such a feature), we use programmatic access to the clipboard during paste operations.

In your case you can use the following workaround, which will probably be included in the next RadControls version, after some testing. The additional Javascript must be added to the page (or registered in an external JS file) in the <body>, not the <head>.


<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
 
<head runat="server">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<title>RadControls</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
 
<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server" MaxLength="3" TextMode="MultiLine" />
 
<script type="text/javascript">
 
if (typeof(Telerik) != "undefined" && typeof(Telerik.Web.UI.RadInputControl) != "undefined")
{
    Telerik.Web.UI.RadInputControl.prototype._onTextBoxPasteHandler = function(e)
    {
        if (this.isMultiLine() && this._maxLength > 0)
        {
            if ($telerik.isSafari) // also Chrome
            {
                var thisObj = this;
                window.setTimeout(function() { thisObj._textBoxElement.value = thisObj._textBoxElement.value.substr(0, thisObj._maxLength) }, 1);
            }
            else // IE
            {
                if (!e) var e = window.event;
                 
                var clipBoardAccessEnabled = true;
                try
                {
                    var clipString = window.clipboardData.getData("Text");
                }
                catch(e)
                {
                    clipBoardAccessEnabled = false;
                }
                 
                if (clipBoardAccessEnabled && clipString != "")
                {
                    if (e.preventDefault) e.preventDefault();
                     
                    var selection = this._textBoxElement.document.selection.createRange();
                    var length = this._maxLength - this._textBoxElement.value.length + selection.text.length;
                    var text = this._escapeNewLineChars(window.clipboardData.getData("Text"), "%0A").substr(0, length);
                    selection.text = text;
                }
                else
                {
                    var thisObj = this;
                    window.setTimeout(function() { thisObj._textBoxElement.value = thisObj._textBoxElement.value.substr(0, thisObj._maxLength) }, 1);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
 
</script>
 
</form>
</body>
</html>



All the best,
