Category: UI for Blazor
Type: Feature Request
1
Add "Label" support to all relevant Telerik input components (CheckBox, TextBox, DropDown, etc.)

I realize we can build Blazor components to associate "label" to controls, but IMHO, this should come standard with any control tool set. Reasons:

1.  Coding simplicity

2.  Automatic theme inheritance

3.  Flexibility in label positioning relative to the control (left, right, top, bottom)

Example:

<TelerikCheckBox Label="Is Chasssis" LabelPosition="left" @bind-Value="equipment.IsChassis"/>

 

I realize you folks put some effort into a "Floating Label", but my users have rejected this implementation because:

1.  Having Text in a label as a means to identify the label makes them think a value is already provided (so they try to remove it or call for support).

2.  When typing in the label and the appearance of the label identification appears above adds to their confusion as they are used to seeing validation errors appearing above a label.

Hi Hristian,

Yes, there is a work-around which we use, but considerable development time would be saved if the control suite would implement.  Given that it's extremely common to associate a label with user input control type.

Thanks, Rob.

Hi Rob,

I can confirm that this is a valid feature request, so I’m updating its status accordingly. As always, we’ll monitor the demand here, and if it gains traction quickly, we’ll prioritize it for implementation sooner.

On a side note, for maximum flexibility, you can render a separate label and associate it with the component using its id.
