Combobox emptymessage color

[Fred Mare]

Hi

Is it possible to change the emptymessage color? The RadTextbox has some attributes to do this.

Hello ,

You can try the following style to change the color of the EmptyMessage.
CSS:

<style type="text/css">
        .RadComboBox_Default .rcbInputCell .rcbEmptyMessage
        {
            color: Red !important;
        }
    </style>

Thanks,
Princy.

Hello Fred Mare,

That is right, you can change the color of the empty message at RadComboBox input by overriding this CSS style:

div.RadComboBox_Default .rcbInputCell .rcbEmptyMessage
{
    color: #FF0000;
}

Please note that this code will be applied to a RadComboBox that uses the Default Skin (this happens if you have set Skin = “Default” or you have not set the Skin property at all).
If you use a different skin - simply replace the _Default part of the selector with the name of your skin. For example if you use Vista - define the style like this :
div.RadComboBox_Vista .rcbInputCell .rcbEmptyMessage

All the best,

Hi Jennifer,

You cant try adding this style on your page:

<style type="text/css">
    div.RadComboBox .rcbInputCell .rcbEmptyMessage
    {
        font-style: normal;
    }
</style>

Kalina,

The solution that you have proposed:
<style type="text/css">    
      div.RadComboBox .rcbInputCell .rcbEmptyMessage    
      {        
                     font-style: normal;    
      }
</style>That it for example,few releases down the line,if Telerik is no longer using the rcbEmptyMessage css class,then this solution will fail right?.Is there any way we can handle is porgrammatically like EmptyMessage-FontStyle:normal.

Hi Jignesh,

Please try the following JavaScript to change the style of RadComboBox EmptyMessage programmatically.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function pageLoad() {
        var comboBox = $find("<%=radcboEmptyMessage.ClientID %>");
        var inputElement = comboBox.get_inputDomElement();
        inputElement.style.fontStyle = "normal";
    }
</script>

Thanks,
Shinu.
