To reproduce: 1.Add a RadPageView with several pages. 2.Set the ViewElement.AllowEdit property to true. 3.Use the following code: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); radPageView1.ViewElement.AllowEdit = true; radPageView1.ViewElement.EditorInitialized += ViewElement_EditorInitialized; } private void ViewElement_EditorInitialized(object sender, RadPageViewEditorEventArgs e) { radPageView1.ViewElement.ActiveEditor.Validating -= ActiveEditor_Validating; radPageView1.ViewElement.ActiveEditor.Validating += ActiveEditor_Validating; radPageView1.ViewElement.ActiveEditor.Validated -= ActiveEditor_Validated; radPageView1.ViewElement.ActiveEditor.Validated += ActiveEditor_Validated; radPageView1.ViewElement.ActiveEditor.ValidationError -= ActiveEditor_ValidationError; radPageView1.ViewElement.ActiveEditor.ValidationError += ActiveEditor_ValidationError; } private void ActiveEditor_Validating(object sender, CancelEventArgs e) { RadPageViewElement.PageViewItemTextEditor editor = sender as RadPageViewElement.PageViewItemTextEditor; if (editor != null && radPageView1.ViewElement.ActiveEditor.Value == string.Empty) { e.Cancel = true; } } private void ActiveEditor_ValidationError(object sender, ValidationErrorEventArgs e) { RadMessageBox.Show("Page label can't be empty!", "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, RadMessageIcon.Error); } private void ActiveEditor_Validated(object sender, EventArgs e) { RadMessageBox.Show("Page label has been successfully updated!", "Information", MessageBoxButtons.OK, RadMessageIcon.Info); } If you change a tab title and do not press Enter, but click outside the pageview, the respective events for validation are not fired. Workaround: private void ViewElement_EditorInitialized(object sender, RadPageViewEditorEventArgs e) { RadPageViewElement.PageViewItemTextEditor textEditor = e.ActiveEditor as RadPageViewElement.PageViewItemTextEditor; RadPageViewElement.PageViewItemTextEditorElement element = textEditor.EditorElement as RadPageViewElement.PageViewItemTextEditorElement; element.PropertyChanged += element_PropertyChanged; } private void element_PropertyChanged(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs e) { RadPageViewElement.PageViewItemTextEditorElement element = sender as RadPageViewElement.PageViewItemTextEditorElement; if (e.PropertyName == "ContainsFocus"&& !element.ContainsFocus) { radPageView1.ViewElement.ActiveEditor.Validate(); } }
