Hey all,

When I put a RadTextBox into MultiLine mode, it seems to ignore the value that I've put in the MaxLength field, if I paste text into a box. (Typing one character at a time retains the MaxLength restriction

For example, in the following aspx page, if I type, I'm limited to 10 character. If I cut and paste text, it ignores that limitation

    
            <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="TetxareaLength.aspx.cs" Inherits="TetxareaLength" %> 
        
            <%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %> 
        
            <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> 
        
            <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" > 
        
            <head runat="server"> 
        
                <title>Untitled Page</title> 
        
            </head> 
        
            <body> 
        
                <form id="form1" runat="server"> 
        
                <div> 
        
                    <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"> 
        
                    </asp:ScriptManager> 
        
                </div> 
        
                    <br /> 
        
                    <br /> 
        
                    <telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server" Columns="120" MaxLength="10" 
        
                        Rows="5" TextMode="MultiLine"> 
        
                    </telerik:RadTextBox> 
        
                </form> 
        
            </body> 
        
            </html>

Can you squeeze in another fix for the Multiline RadTextBox? Not a big issue at all because the odds of it happening are slim. but...

In addition to it not respecting MaxLength when you paste, it also does not hold on to your defined Width & Rows setting if the paste in text say without spaces in it.

Lets say you have a RadtextBox with Columns="25" Rows="3"
and then you paste in the text "RadtextBoxRadtextBoxRadtextBoxRadtextBoxRadtextBoxRadtextBoxRadtextBoxRadtextBox"

The textbox goes bac to a single row height and is really really wide. I know that css supports breaking long words but I think that logic should be included within the control.

<telerik:radtextbox Width="195px" id="RadTextBox2" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="3" MaxLength="25" Label="MultiLine: " EmptyMessage="type here" Skin="Vista"></telerik:radtextbox>
