1) How can you validate a textbox to look exactly as they do when using the input manager?
This doesn't give me the same look that the input manager does:
| <telerik:RadTextBox ID="txt_Make" Runat="server" Skin="Windows7" |
| Width="170px"> |
| </telerik:RadTextBox> |
| <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server" ErrorMessage="Required!" ControlToValidate="txt_Make" Display="Dynamic" SetFocusOnError="True"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator> |
I want them to look exactly like the inputmanager:
| <telerik:RadInputManager ID="AppInputManager" runat="server" Skin="Windows7"> |
| <telerik:TextBoxSetting ErrorMessage="Required!"> |
| <TargetControls> |
| <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_FirstName" /> |
| <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_LastName" /> |
| <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_Address" /> |
| <telerik:TargetInput ControlID="txt_City" /> |
| </TargetControls> |
| <Validation IsRequired="True" ValidationGroup="Application"></Validation> |
| </telerik:TextBoxSetting> |
| </telerik:RadInputManager> |
The input manager displays the icon and the message in red INSIDE the control, the validator does not.
I cant use an input manager for some of the fields because they are only required based on user input. I tried adding an entire new input manager for these fields, but then they always try to get validated - even when hidden. And I don't want to do a postback - I don't think I can enable and disable the input managers client-side.

Hi Shawn,
In order to display the native invalid state of a RadTextBox, you must use a custom validator. Here is a sample page:

Thanks Dimo, but this doesn't replicate the inputmanager error behavior. How can I get the error message to appear INSIDE the textbox, just as the im does?

Hi Shawn,
Neither RadTextBox, nor the asp Validator is designed to work that way.
Theoretically, you can set the error message as a RadTextBox value (using the Javascript method, which sets the _invalid property) and it will appear inside the textbox, but the control will think this is a real value, not an error message.
