Ability to prevent more than x characters in Grid Input Box

[Greg Gannicott]

Hi.

Is it possible to prevent the user from entering more than x number of characters into an input box which is part of a Grid?

We're able to have a validation message display if the user breaches the limit, but we'd like to prevent the input in the first place.

Is that possible, and if not could we request that it becomes a feature please?

Many thanks.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support.

We have created a sample to achieve your requirement, which can be downloaded from the below location.

Sample Link: http://jsplayground.syncfusion.com/pxnuomy3

In the above sample, we have bound the maxlength attribute to the CustomerID input text box in the actionComplete event of the Grid when the requestType is “beginedit” or “add”. Please refer to the below code example.

<script type="text/javascript">

    $(function () {

        $("#Grid").ejGrid({

            . . . .

           actionComplete: function(args){

                if(args.requestType == "beginedit" || args.requestType == "add"){

                    $("#"+this._id+"CustomerID").attr("maxlength",5);//preventing the number of characters by binding maxlength attribute to input box

                }

            }

        });

    });
</script>

Please refer to the below link for various attributes supported by input tag.
