Custom control and required field validator

Question

i am creating a custom control for the textbox.Let say when the textbox's action is edit , the textbox will render same as textbox .On the other hand , when the textbox is action is view , then textbox will render as label.But now i got a problem , how can i validate my textbox with the required field validator when the textbox's action is edit?Here is my coding

[ToolboxData(@"<{0}:cusTextBox runat=""server"" Action=""Edit"" />")]

public class cusTextBox:TextBox
{
    public string Action
    {
        get
        {
            String s = (String)ViewState["Action"];
            return ((s == null) ? String.Empty : s);
        }
        set
        {
            ViewState["Action"] = value;
        }
    }

    public override void RenderControl(HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
        if (Action ==gbcCommandVariable.CommandEdit)
        {
            base.RenderControl(writer);

        }
