ASPxClientTextEdit.GetText Method

Returns the text displayed within the editor.

Declaration

GetText(): string

Returns

Type	Description
string	A string value representing the editor’s display text.

Remarks

The GetText and the GetValue methods can return an incorrect (empty or previous) value in the client-side UserInput, KeyDown, KeyPress, and KeyUp event handlers when you apply a format, mask, or null text settings to a text editor.

In this case, obtain the editor’s text from the editor’s input element:

JS

function OnUserInput(s, e) {  
    var currentText = s.GetInputElement().value;  
}
