I'm currently using version 2008.1.515.20

I'm finding that when I don't set the Label on a RadTextBox it is drawn at the width I set. If I do set the Label, then the control is drawn as width=100%.

This is the code that produces the correct width
<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server" InvalidStyleDuration="100" Skin="Office2007" Text='<%# Bind("EstimateTitle") %>' Width="100px" Wrap="False"></telerik:RadTextBox>

This is the code that produces the 100% width.
<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server" InvalidStyleDuration="100" Label="Title" Skin="Office2007" Text='<%# Bind("EstimateTitle") %>' Width="100px" Wrap="False"></telerik:RadTextBox>

Hi Holly,

This is a known problem with the latest version of the RadTextBox control. It is already logged in our bug-tracking system. Hopefully our developers will address the issue soon.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Has this issue been resolved? It is currently a breaker for us as to whether we buy Telerik or not?

Thanks

Hi Dimo,

Great Stuff!

One other thing: has the issue been resolved regarding the 'shared' width of a RadTextBox with a label text. e.g. you set TextBox.Label = "someVeryLongTextIndeed", and this causes your textbox to be squashed in at the end of that text.

We'd really need to be able to control the textbox and label width. Or if we could push the textbox onto the line after the label that would suffice too.

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks Again

Hi Gordon,

When using a label, the width is shared by design. I am afraid there is no way to have the native label and the textbox on separate lines. You can use a separate <label> element to achieve that:

http://www.telerik.com/support/kb/aspnet-ajax/input/standard-compliant-radinput-and-raddatetimepicker-with-no-tables.aspx

You can control the label width like this:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

<%@ 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">

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

<title>RadControls</title>

<style type="text/css">

.Label140

{

display:block;

width:140px;

}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox2" runat="server" Label="Label 140px" LabelCssClass="Label140" Width="300px" />

<br /><br />

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server" Label="Longer Label 140px" LabelCssClass="Label140" Width="300px" />

</form>

</body>

</html>

Hi Dimo
This problem still exists with the RadComboBox even in Q1 2010.
I would be grateful if it could be fixed urgently.

Hello Harry,

You mean that the RadComboBox is always 100% wide, no matter what width you set? Can you provide a demo, which reproduces that?

All the best,
