    I ran across a java script function called raise_passwordStrengthCalculating but I can't find any documentaion on it or how to use it?  See I've figured out a way how to get a value from a database into a password field, but I haven't figured out how to get the password field to calculate the password strength.  And I think that function would do it, but can't quite wrap my head around how to call it.

    I guess I didn't get my secret decoder ring along with my subscription.

    There has got to be a way manually invoke the password strengthchecking via code?  You guys have such nice tools why do you make them so hard to navigate?

    OK I figured out how to invole this.  I'm using Subroutine:
    Sub setTelerikValue(oObj As Object, sVal As String)
        Dim sScript As String = "<script language='javascript'>" & _
                                "function f() {$find(""" & oObj.ClientID & """).set_value('" & sVal.Trim & "'); " & _
                                "$find(""" & oObj.ClientID & """).raise_passwordStrengthCalculating();" & _
                                "Sys.Application.remove_load(f);}; " & _
                                "Sys.Application.add_load(f);</script>"
        ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "setPass", sScript)
    End Sub

    Now I'm getting an error in my OnClientPasswordStrengthCalculating java function:
    function CalculatingStrength(sender, args) {
            //throw new Error;
            document.getElementById("<%=txtPassScore.ClientID%>").value = args.get_strengthScore();
    }

    args is empty, so it throws an error.  What am I missing?

    Hi,

    You need to construct the event args that you want to pass to the client event.

    var eventArgs = new Telerik.Web.UI.PasswordStrengthCalculatingEventArgs(Value, Score, LabelText);
    RadTextBox1.raise_passwordStrengthCalculating(eventArgs);

    The Value that you pass in the upper code, will be the same as args.get_strengthScore() will return in your handler later.

    And if you actually want to make the input to calculate the score and call the event, you need to use this code:
    Telerik.Web.UI.PasswordStrengthChecker.prototype.showStrength(TextBox1, TextBox1._textBoxElement, TextBox1._passwordSettings);
    where TextBox1 is the client object of your textbox.

    Dude you ROCK!!!  That worked perfectly!!!  I can't thank you enough.  For anyone else interested this is the final working version of the Subroutine: 

    Sub setTelerikValue(oObj As Object, sVal As String)
        Dim sScript As String = "<script language='javascript'>" & _
                                "function f() {var Obj = $find(""" & oObj.ClientID & """); " & _
                                "Obj.set_value('" & sVal.Trim & "'); " & _
                                "Telerik.Web.UI.PasswordStrengthChecker.prototype.showStrength(Obj, Obj._textBoxElement, Obj._passwordSettings); " & _
                                "Sys.Application.remove_load(f);}; " & _
                                "Sys.Application.add_load(f);</script>"
        ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "setPass", sScript)
    End Sub

    and this is how you'd call it:
                setTelerikValue(txtPassword, "PasswordValueHere")

    That will set a password field and force the calculation of the password strength.
