Using JQuery with Telerik Controls

[Velma]

Is it possible to use JQuery to select and modify properties on Telerik ASP.NET Ajax controls?

For example, I have the follow code which works fine to disable the ASP.NET textboxes on a particular form, but does not touch the RadComboBoxes or the RadDatePickers, even though they have the appropriate class.

        $(".datafield").attr("disabled", "disabled");

Is there any way, or do I have to select the Telerik controls one by one with Javascript, per the samples in help?:

    var combo = $find("<%= RadComboBox1.ClientID %>"); combo.disable();

    var picker = $find("<%= RadDatePicker1.ClientID %>"); picker.set_enabled(false);

Hi Velma,

In short, no. RadControls are complex controls and have a their own client-side API to control their behavior which cannot be controlled using jQuery. Most of the RadControls contains more than a single HTML element and applying a modification like set_enabled() changes various fields of its client-side object, while using jQuery you apply the attribute directly on the HTML element that the ASP:Textbox represents.

Kind regards,
