Setting the editor value to "fred" and calling the set text methods does not cause the text or value changed event to fire.
I have tired the following and the events are not fired.
$(selector).igTextEditor("text", "");
$(selector).igTextEditor("option","value", "");
$(selector).igTextEditor("value", "");
Hello RichBamford,
Please let us know how the suggested approach worked out or if you have any questions.
Hi Rich,It's a design decision that Ignite UI API methods do not rise events. You should manually validate and make the web service call when you're using the API to set the value of the igTextEditor.
Hope this helps,Martin PavlovInfragistics, Inc.
When a value in the editor is changed I need it to fire off the text changed event so I can carry out some additional validation. The editor will have its value set using the text method but the actual value will need to be validated using a web service call. I have a custom validator that hooks into the editor events and automatically calls the service for validation. If this event is not fired I have no way of telling if the value has been changed and need revalidated.
Thank you for contacting Infragistics!
Yes. The valueChanged event is raised on lost focus or on spin events.
Please let me know more of your requirements, as we may suggest an alternative approach.
If you have any questions, please let me know as well.
