[Solved] $.telerik.textbox not loading.

[Emmanuel]

Hi
I am trying to use the javascript function $.telerik.textbox.formatNumber(...)
I am able to use it when I have controls using Html.Telerik().CurrencyTextBoxFor(model => model.PropertyA)
BUT
when I use Html.Telerik().CurrencyTextBox(Model.Something)
the function is not availible.

I read in other forum posts that the javascript files loaded from Telerik controls are only availible when the controls need them (Which makes sense) but it seems that using CurrencyTextBox(...) and CurrencyTextBoxFor(..) does not load the same javascript files.

I even looked through the DOM using Firebug and the object $.telerik.textbox isn't even created.

Is there a manual way to load the files so that I can use $.telerik.textbox.formatNumber(...) ?

From where you get the idea of using Html.Telerik().CurrencyTextBox() this way?
This contructor function does not accept any parameter.
Its counterpart Html.Telerik().CurrencyTextBoxFor accepts an expression

It is the same for all MVC Telerik components

Html.Telerik().ComboBox() vs Html.Telerik().ComboBoxFor(expression)

Html.Telerik().DatePicker() vs Html.Telerik().DatePickerFor(expression)

Yes that is what I am using sorry for the confusion.
Turns out I was trying to use the javascript function before any of my controls were being loaded
<script>
// code using $.telerik.textbox.formatNumber(...)
</script>

<%= Html.Telerik().CurrencyTextBox().Name("Name") %>
 
If I load the script after one of the controls, the error goes away and the function becomes availible.
