When the user types in a character or copies and pastes into text box the valuechanged event on that first character is null, Why?

Any way around this? What am I doing wrong on it.

Type 1 character in first box and nothing happens. Type more and the typed character appears in second, one off what should be there.

ANd same happens if you paste a value in.

Code example:

<h1>Hello, Telerik REPL for Blazor!</h1>
<div style="border: 1px gray solid;"> 
    <span @onkeypress="@onSearchValueChange" @onkeydown="@onSearchValueChange">
        <TelerikTextBox @bind-Value="@stringValue" @ref="@txtBxRefSearchValue" Id="SearchValue" />
    </span>
    <TelerikTextBox @bind-Value="@stringValue2"  @ref="@txtBxRefSearchValue2" Id="SearchValue2" />
</div>
@code {
string stringValue { get; set; }
TelerikTextBox txtBxRefSearchValue { get; set; }
string stringValue2 { get; set; }
TelerikTextBox txtBxRefSearchValue2 { get; set; }
public void onSearchValueChange( KeyboardEventArgs e)
        {
            
            // Note! it has no value on the first character, NULL, but once 2nd one typed in tis good to go.
            if (txtBxRefSearchValue.Value is not null)
            {
                if (txtBxRefSearchValue.Value.Length > 0)
                {
                    stringValue2 =  "Work on value";                 
                }
                else
                {
                    stringValue2 = "Do nothing";                  
                };
            };                     
        }
}

Hi Deasun,

There are several things to change in the code to make it work:

  1. Set DebounceDelay of the TextBox to 0, otherwise the textbox value will update with a delay of 150ms, which is after the event handlers.
  2. Retrieve the textbox value the Blazor way, which is via the parameter (stringValue). Do not use the component reference for such operations.
  3. Use async keydown / keypress handlers with some delay to prevent race condition with the textbox value update.

<span @onkeypress="@onSearchValueChange" @onkeydown="@onSearchValueChange">
    <TelerikTextBox @bind-Value="@stringValue" DebounceDelay="0" />
</span>

<br /><br />

<TelerikTextBox @bind-Value="@stringValue2" />

@code {
    string stringValue { get; set; }
    TelerikTextBox txtBxRefSearchValue { get; set; }
    string stringValue2 { get; set; }
    TelerikTextBox txtBxRefSearchValue2 { get; set; }

    public async Task onSearchValueChange(KeyboardEventArgs e)
    {
        await Task.Delay(1);

        if (stringValue is not null)
        {
            if (stringValue.Length > 0)
            {
                stringValue2 = "Work on value";
            }
            else
            {
                stringValue2 = "Do nothing";
            };
        };
    }
}
