Showing error style programmatically when the EmptyMessage property is set.

[Ken]

I'm trying to show the error style programmatically on a RadTextBox (as is outlined here in this post). The problem I'm having is that the error style will not show if the EmptyMessage property has a value of anything other than an empty string. If I leave EmptyMessage as an empty string, it works fine.

Is there a way to show the error style programmatically and use the EmptyMessage feature?

Hello Ken,

You can do this only if you set the EmptyMessageStyle to have the same CSS class is the InvalidStyle:

(Javascript)

textbox_instance.get_styles().EmptyMessageStyle[1] = "riError";
textbox_instance.updateCssClass();

You can set back the "riEmpty" CSS class when required.

Kind regards,
