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.
