  What I'm trying to do is depend on my search method I want to highlight some fields in my winform to make them required.
  Some fields are RadComboBoxes, some of them are DateTimePickers, some MaskedEditBoxes.
  
  On Click event of my search method I'm trying to set a BackColor for fields that are required to yellow.
  

  radComboBox_1.BackColor = Color.Yellow;

  EdMsk_A3.BackColor = Color.Yellow;

  As soon as user fills out the required field it suppose to change color back to initial White background.
  
  The problem is that the following code for the background change does not work.. BackColor of the combobox  never changed..
  Thanks,
  Victoria.

  radComboBox_1.ComboBoxElement.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
