Add floating label to read only textbox in EJ2 TypeScript Textbox control

15 May 20233 minutes to read

You can achieve floating label for read-only textboxes by adding/removing e-label-top and e-label-bottom classes to the label element

In this sample, click the update value button to fill the read-only textbox with value and float a label.

import { InputObject, TextBox } from '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs';

let readonlyTextBox: TextBox = new TextBox({
  placeholder: 'Readonly Textbox',
  readonly: true,
  floatLabelType: 'Auto',
});
readonlyTextBox.appendTo('#readonly');
document.getElementById('setValueButton').addEventListener('click', function () {
    readonlyTextBox.value = '10';
  });

document.getElementById('clearValueButton').addEventListener('click', function () {
    readonlyTextBox.value = ''; // Clear the value
  });
