Hello All,

Is it possible to validate the text enter as the user types (ie validate on TextChanged) as opposed to validating as focus is changed?

Thanks!!

Hello Scott,

This is not supported by the regex mask. Consider using another mask. What is the format that you want to parse in this case?

Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks, I'm looking to restrict input to alphanumeric, underscore and dash. I used the Key Press event check instead and it works for me.

One other question,

I'd like to include a prefix in a textbox, maybe the masked edit box, that is based on a selection from a drop down. Ie, the user picks a project from the drop down and I want to include the 4 digit project ID in the textbox as a non changeable prefix. I currently fake it by placing a label in front of the text box. Any ideas for that?

Hello Scott,

You can use the approach from this article: Adding Buttons to RadTextBox. Here is an example that demonstrates it:
LightVisualElement label = new LightVisualElement();
 
label.Margin = new Padding(0, 0, -3, 0);
label.Text = "9999";
 
RadTextBoxItem tbItem = this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskedEditBoxElement.TextBoxItem;
this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskedEditBoxElement.Children.Remove(tbItem);
DockLayoutPanel dockPanel = new DockLayoutPanel();
dockPanel.Children.Add(label);
dockPanel.Children.Add(tbItem);
DockLayoutPanel.SetDock(tbItem, Telerik.WinControls.Layouts.Dock.Right);
DockLayoutPanel.SetDock(label, Telerik.WinControls.Layouts.Dock.Left);
this.radMaskedEditBox1.MaskedEditBoxElement.Children.Add(dockPanel);

I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.

Hi, I'm attempting to use this example in a RadTreeViewNode. Is it possible to use the DockLayoutPanel in a tree view node?

If not. Is there a way to get a similar behavior from a StackLayoutElement? Using the StackLayoutElement, the Textbox overlaps the label, the textbox doesn't size to fit the nulltext value, and as you type the textbox moves to the right. See the attached images.

One last behavior with the textbox in my code and the forum sample https://www.telerik.com/forums/custom-nodes-in-tree-view. When the textbox you're typing in loses focus, the text is also removed.

Hello Scott,

Yes, it is possible to use DockLayoutPanel just like any other elements. An example is available here: DockLayout.

In addition, I cannot suggest a solution before examining your implementation. Would it be possible to share the code of the custom node element?

I am looking forward to your reply.

Thanks Ditmar, Focusing on the first questions in this post. I'm creating the DockLayoutPanels dynamically and the sample appears to  assume that I've already declared the DockLayoutPanel at design time.

Is it a simple change to address a dynamic build?

Building on my previous sample. DockLayoutPanel is not declared.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Scott,

This is a static method and you do not need to declare an instance. You need to add the following namespace:
Imports Telerik.WinControls.Layouts

I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.
