Hi Viktor and Alan,

Thanks for the reponse. Yes, both your samples are correct. Alan's example with the checkbox is exactly what we are doing.

Thanks for confirming that the issue is fixed in the new version. We will use the temporary fix for now until we upgrade to the next version.

Thanks!

Hi Viktor and Alan,

I now have another issue. Suppose text box A and text box B are both null with the null text displayed. The user enters values in text box A and clicks the checkbox, the value is correctly copied across to text box B and text box B is disabled via javascript function.

Later, the user unticks the checkbox. Text box B is enabled, however the control treats the value in text box B as null text and does not display it correctly. When I click inside text box B, the value is lost.

postalLineOne.set_text(streetLineOne.get_text());

postalLineOne.set_enabled(!sameAsStreetAddress.checked);

Again, this only happens when the default value is blank in the text boxes. If they are loaded with values initially, this issue does not happen.

I would appreciate any assistance with this query.

Thanks Alan, this fix solves the issues I have highlighted in this request.

You are a life saver!

Hello,

I saw that the behavior was different between 11.2.20112.2086 and 12.2.20122.2121 and that the behavior of the 12.2 volume with service release is what you want.  I have now done a little more testing and found what is different.  It is the implementation of set_value and set_text for the WebTextEditor.

In 11.2.20112.2086 the implementation is:

set_text:function(val)
{
    /// <summary locid="P:J#Infragistics.Web.UI.WebTextEditor.text">Sets text.</summary>
    /// <param name="val" type="String">Text for control</param>
    this._setVS(this._text = val);
    this._repaint();
    if(this._fix == 1)
        this._old = this._instant(true);
},
set_value:function(val)
{
    /// <summary locid="P:J#Infragistics.Web.UI.WebTextEditor.value">Sets value for control.</summary>
    /// <param name="val">Value for control. It can be String, Number or Date depending on type of control.</param>
    this.set_text('' + ((val == null) ? '' : val));
    this._fixNull();
},

In 12.2.20122.2121 the implementation is:

set_text:function(val)
{
    /// <summary locid="P:J#Infragistics.Web.UI.WebTextEditor.text">Sets text.</summary>
    /// <param name="val" type="String">Text for control</param>
    this._setVS(this._text = val = val == null ? '' : val.toString());
    this._nullT = !val;
    this._fixNull();
    this._repaint();
    if(this._fix == 1)
        this._old = this._instant(true);
},
set_value:function(val)
{
    /// <summary locid="P:J#Infragistics.Web.UI.WebTextEditor.value">Sets value for control.</summary>
    /// <param name="val">Value for control. It can be String, Number or Date depending on type of control.</param>
    this.set_text('' + ((val == null) ? '' : val));
},

You can correct the behavior in my original sample with the version you are using by adding a script after the closing html tag that changes these methods on the prototype for $IG.WebTextEditor:

<script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    $IG.WebTextEditor.prototype.set_text = function(val) {
        /// <summary locid="P:J#Infragistics.Web.UI.WebTextEditor.text">Sets text.</summary>
        /// <param name="val" type="String">Text for control</param>
        this._setVS(this._text = val = val == null ? '' : val.toString());
        this._nullT = !val;
        this._fixNull();
        this._repaint();
        if (this._fix == 1)
            this._old = this._instant(true);
    };
    $IG.WebTextEditor.set_value = function(val) {
        /// <summary locid="P:J#Infragistics.Web.UI.WebTextEditor.value">Sets value for control.</summary>
        /// <param name="val">Value for control. It can be String, Number or Date depending on type of control.</param>
        this.set_text('' + ((val == null) ? '' : val));
    };
    // -->
</script>

Let me know if you have any questions with this matter.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for your help. I am using Version=11.2.20112.2086 and not the latest version. Using this version set_value does not work for me, the text editor control B is always blank. My code is

Hello,

I have done some testing with my sample after updating the changeState() function to be:

function changeState() {
    var editorA = $find("WebTextEditor1");
    var editorB = $find("WebTextEditor2");
    var copyto = document.getElementById("copyto");
    editorB.set_value(editorA.get_value());
    editorB.set_enabled(!copyto.checked);
}

With this change I don't reproduce the issue that you have.  Of if I am I am not looking at it correctly.  Please update my sample so that it does reproduce the issue and provide me with the exact steps to duplicate the issue so that I may look into this.

Let me know if you have any questions with this matter.
