Apply skin to asp:dropdownlist control

[Kosal]

Is there a way to apply a RadComboBox skin to a regular asp:DropDownList?
I'm using a combination of RadComboBoxes and regular asp:DropDownList controls.  I'm using the Web20 skin for the RadComboBoxes, I want the asp:DropDownList to look the same.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Hello Kosal,

Unfortunately this is not possible. Skins work only for RadControls. Additionally the built-in HTML dropdown cannot be styled much.

I too would be interested to know if this has been handled by now (I am using v 2012.2.912.40).
(Can I use decorator for individual controls ?)

If not, is there any way that my asp:DropDownList method can remain compatible with the telerik:radCombobox ?
(By that way the existing code do not need to be changed)

Small example:

I already have a method for asp:DropDownList in my data layer that populates the countries and states. And now I am not able to change the controls in the front end due to this issue, though I have it. Help please ... : )

Thanks,

Hey, I just got that solved:

Thanks to "RadFormDecorator"

<telerik:RadFormDecorator ID="Decorator_ID" runat="server" DecoratedControls="all"></telerik:RadFormDecorator>

But the only thing is, I would like to stick with those square cornered textboxes (telerik's default)
rather going with the round cornered ones.

Thanks,
