When these controls render they do so in a table, label in one cell and control in another.

No problems so far.

However, if you've lots of these controls and the labels are all different lengths then you have the devils own job of getting your controls to stack nicely.

It would be nice if these controls rendered a class name in the <TD> tag (or better yet, had a LabelCssClass property where the <TD> and LabellCssClass property value could be used to write a CSS rule) so that the width could be set to a consistent value so that all the controls stacked neatly.

Hi Stuart,

You can use the following approach:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
<head runat="server">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<title>RadControls</title>
<style type="text/css">
 
.myLabel
{
    display:block;
    width:120px;
    margin-right:0 !important;
    padding-right:0 !important;
}
 
.RadComboBox .myLabel
{
    float:left;
}
 
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
 
<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox2" runat="server" Label="Label 1" LabelCssClass="myLabel" Width="300px" />
<br /><br />
<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server" Label="Longer Label 2" LabelCssClass="myLabel" Width="300px" />
<br /><br />
<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" Label="Even Longer Label 3" LabelCssClass="myLabel" Width="180px" />
 
<div style="clear:both"><!-- --></div>
 
following content
 
</form>
</body>
</html>

Now I feel really silly!

How did I manage to miss that in the docs.

<sigh/> 

I really shouldn't be allowed to work unsupervised.
