Text area as an items.editor

[Michael]

Can you use a textarea element as items.editor or make a TextBox multi-line

Hello Michael,

Currently, rendering a textarea can be achieved through a custom editor function as follows:

editor: function(container, options) {
  $("<textarea class='k-textarea' required name='" + options.field +  "' data-bind='value: " +  options.field + "'></textarea>")
    .appendTo(container);
},

Here is a Dojo example that demonstrates the above. Important to outline is that when custom editors are rendered, the validation attributes need to be manually added to the input element in order for the validation functionality to work as expected.

In case you have any additional questions, please let me know.
