Form decorator & asp Literal control

[Al]

Hi,

Does the form decorator work (apply themes) with the asp:Literal control?

[Danail Vasilev]

Hi Al,

RadFormDecorator styles HTML label tags and not ASP:Label controls. More information on the matter is available here - http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/formdecorator-integration-with-standard-controls.html

Thanks Danail, I wasn't referring to HTML/ASP Label controls, rather ASP:Literal controls. 

After reading the link though it appears that Literal controls will NOT be styled by the form decorator? Do you have a similar RAD control that is styled as standard?

Hi Al,

Thank you for the clarification.

Generally the RadFormDecorator can style the empty area on the page that has no controls but empty space or generic HTML tags like spans or divs - color and background color are applied. This empty area is called zone and you can read more about it here - http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/formdecorator-zone.html

That being said the color and the background-color of all the literals on the page can be styled by the decorator simultaneously. You can also manually override the decorator styles. See the classes here -
