RegExpTextBoxSetting for TextBox

[rachel]

I have a asp:TextBox and RegExpTextBoxSetting that connected to it.
I have 2 qustions:
1.  Can the RegExpTextBoxSetting use with client function for validation? (instead the RegularExpression)
      I want that the checking will done by the function.

2.  Can I connect the RegExpTextBoxSetting to RadTextBox?
     In the examples, its working only with the asp:TextBox !

 
Thanks.

Is there any solution for my qustion?

Hi Rachel,

You can wire the OnBlur client-side event of RadInputManager and perform the check there. In this scenario you may not even need to add a RegExpTextBoxSetting to the textbox.

RadTextBox does not have a RegExpTextBoxSetting but you can still limit the input values by using a RegularExpressionValidator as suggested in this help article:

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server">
</telerik:RadTextBox>
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator
    id="emailValidator"
    runat="server"
    Display="Dynamic"
    ErrorMessage="Please, enter valid e-mail address."
    ValidationExpression="^[\w\.\-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9\-]{1,})*(\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}){1,2}$"
    ControlToValidate="RadTextBox1">
</asp:RegularExpressionValidator>
