Hi Anzar,

Here is the sample code that I tried to check if the text is selected in TextBox.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
   {
     GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
     TextBox TextBox1 = (TextBox)item.FindControl("TextBox1");
     TextBox1.Attributes.Add("OnKeyPress", "GetKeyPress(this)");
   }
}

JS:

function GetKeyPress(e)
 {
  if (document.selection)
  {
   alert("selected");
 }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi Anzar,

Could you please try the following approach?
  mark-up:

<asp:TextBox ... onkeypress="keyPressed(this)"></asp:TextBox>

  JavaScript:

function keyPressed(textBox) {
    var selectedLength = textBox.selectionEnd - textBox.selectionStart;
    var totalLength = textBox.value.length;
    if (selectedLength == totalLength && totalLength > 0) {
        alert("entire text is selected");
    }
}

That should do the trick. Please give it a try and let me know about the result.

All the best,
Eyup
