Properties
AccessKey String
Gets or sets the access key that allows you to quickly navigate to the Web server control.
AutoCompleteType AutoCompleteType
Gets or sets a value that indicates the AutoComplete behavior of the input control
Remarks
To assist with data entry, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and later and Netscape support a feature called AutoComplete. AutoComplete monitors a RadInput control and creates a list of values entered by the user. When the user returns to the input at a later time, the list is displayed. Instead of retyping a previously entered value, the user can simply select the value from this list. Use the AutoCompleteType property to control the behavior of the AutoComplete feature for a RadInput control. The System.Web.UI.WebControls.AutoCompleteType enumeration is used to represent the values that you can apply to the AutoCompleteType property. Not all browsers support the AutoComplete feature. Check with your browser to determine compatibility.By default, the AutoCompleteType property for a RadInput control is set to AutoCompleteType.None. With this setting, the RadInput control shares the list with other RadInput controls with the same ID property across different pages. You can also share a list between RadInput controls based on a category, instead of an ID property. When you set the AutoCompleteType property to one of the category values (such as AutoCompleteType.FirstName, AutoCompleteType.LastName, and so on), all RadInput controls with the same category share the same list. You can disable the AutoComplete feature for a RadInput control by setting the AutoCompleteType property to AutoCompleteType.Disabled.Refer to your browser documentation for details on configuring and enabling the AutoComplete feature. For example, to enable the AutoComplete feature in Internet Explorer version 5 or later, select Internet Options from the Tools menu, and then select the Content tab. Click the AutoComplete button to view and modify the various browser options for the AutoComplete feature.This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes.
AutoPostBack Boolean
Gets or sets a value indicating whether an automatic post back to the server occurs whenever the user presses the ENTER or the TAB key while in the RadInput control.

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the button should be positioned left or right of the RadInput box.
CausesValidation Boolean
Gets or sets a value indicating whether validation is performed when the RadInput control is set to validate when a postback occurs.
Remarks
Use the CausesValidation property to determine whether validation is performed on both the client and the server when a RadInput control is set to validate when a postback occurs. Page validation determines whether the input controls associated with a validation control on the page all pass the validation rules specified by the validation control.By default, a RadInput control does not cause page validation when the control loses focus. To set the RadInput control to validate when a postback occurs, set the CausesValidation property to true and the AutoPostBack property to true.When the value of the CausesValidation property is set to true, you can also use the ValidationGroup property to specify the name of the validation group for which the RadInput control causes validation.This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes.

Gets the style properties for disabled RadInput control.
Remarks
Use this property to provide a custom style for the disabled RadInput
control. Common style attributes that can be adjusted include foreground color,
background color, font, and alignment within the RadInput. Providing a different
style enhances the appearance of the RadInput control.Disabled style properties in the RadInput control are inherited from one
style property to another through a hierarchy. For example, if you specify a red
font for the EnabledStyle property, all other style properties in the RadInput
control will also have a red font. This allows you to provide a common appearance
for the control by setting a single style property. You can override the inherited
style settings for an item style property that is higher in the hierarchy by
setting its style properties. For example, you can specify a blue font for the
DisabledStyle property, overriding the red font specified in the EnabledStyle
property.To specify a custom style, place the

RadInput control will also have a red font. This allows you to provide a common
appearance for the control by setting a single style property. You can override the
inherited style settings for an item style property that is higher in the hierarchy

The Text value of a RadInput control with the ReadOnly property set to true is sent to the server when a postback occurs, but the server does no processing for a read-only RadInput. This prevents a malicious user from changing a Text value that is read-only. The value of the Text property is preserved in the view state between postbacks unless modified by server-side code.

When you specify a value for the ValidationGroup property, only the validation controls that are part of the specified group are validated when the RadInput control posts back to the server. If you do not specify a value for this property and the CausesValidation property is set to true, all validation controls on the page that are not assigned to a validation group are validated when the control posts back to the server.This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes.

Returns
System.Void
ControlPreRender
Code moved into this method from OnPreRender to make sure it executed when the framework skips OnPreRender() for some reason
Returns
System.Void
Focus
Sets input focus to a RadInput.
Remarks
Use the Focus method to set the initial focus of the Web page to the RadInput. The page will be opened in the browser with the control selected.The Focus method causes a call to the page focus script to be emitted on the rendered page. If the page does not contain a control with an HTML ID attribute that matches the control that the Focus method was invoked on, then page focus will not be set. An example where this can occur is when you set the focus on a user control instead of setting the focus on a child control of the user control. In this scenario, you can use the FindControl method to find the child control of the user control and invoke its Focus method.
