[CLOSED] TextField in codebehind

[vgvallee]

Hi,

I am creating a TextField in codebehind and I run into a few issues:

When I try to set the Vtype, I can't use the following

Vtype = Ext.Net.ValidationType.Email.ToString()

whereas

Vtype = "email"

works.
For other properties on other fields, I can use

Layout = Ext.Net.LayoutType.Fit.ToString()

just fine.

Also, the Validator property is read-only. Is that by design? That means that I can't do this

<ext:TextField 
    runat="server" 
    Name="password2" 
    FieldLabel="Repeat Password"
    InputType="Password"
    AllowBlank="false">
    <Validator Handler="return (value === this.previousSibling('[name=password1]').getValue()) ? true : 'Passwords do not match.';" />
</ext:TextField>

as in the examples...

Another minor thing is the code assist tooltip that pops up in VS when hovering over the Margin property: it says "Specifies the margin for this component. The margin can be a single numeric value to apply to all sides or it can be a CSS style specification for each style, for example '10 5 3 10'.". This property is an int? so it won't accept a string. MarginSpec seems to be the proper way to set the margins with a string so the "...or ....." should be removed.

Thanks,
Vince

When I try to set the Vtype, I can't use the following

It is case sensitive property, please use

Vtype = Ext.Net.ValidationType.Email.ToString().ToLowerInvariant()

Why don't you want to use StandardVtype property?

Also, the Validator property is read-only. Is that by design?

Yes, Validator already has instance therefore just use it

field.Validator.Handler = "...";

MarginSpec seems to be the proper way to set the margins with a string

Yes, you are right

Most of those questions are because I did not know of those properties. Not all of those are approached in the examples and if they are, they might not be in a category I would think to look at for a particular property. I can't find anything about StandardVtype in the docs at http://docs.ext.net/

For Validator, how would you include it in the following snippet:

new Ext.Net.TextField
{
    ID = "confirm",
    FieldLabel = "Confirm Password",
    AllowBlank = false,
    AllowOnlyWhitespace = false,
    Plugins = 
    {
        new Ext.Net.PasswordMask
        {
        }
    }
}

Validator = 
{
    Handler = "...."
}
