Hello Eastern,

To set the back color, you just need to get to the TextBoxElement. Please consider the following code:

Me.RadTextBox1.TextBoxElement.BackColor = Color.White

hope that helps

may i ask how can i change the border color of textbox in this inherited user control ?
default border color is somehow blue , i want to change it to red without messing with themes.

how can i do that ?

Hi Eastern,

You can set the border color in this way..

DirectCast(Me.RadTextBox1.TextBoxElement.Children(2), Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.BorderPrimitive).ForeColor = Color.Black

You can view the element tree by using the smart tag and "Edit UI Elements"

Hope that helps

just another question ,

is there anyway that i can change only the bottom borderline color ?

Hi Eastern,

I may be wrong, but as the border is being painted using the forecolor, it doesn't seem to behave as a normal border. I've found a workaround, though it's not ideal as it leaves a little of the border showing at the sides. Have a look at trying:

DirectCast(Me.RadTextBox1.TextBoxElement.Children(2), Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.BorderPrimitive).ForeColor = Color.Black
DirectCast(Me.RadTextBox1.TextBoxElement.Children(2), Telerik.WinControls.Primitives.BorderPrimitive).GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Linear

Let me know if that helps
