Is this possible to do ?

[Gotcha]

I'm trying to achieve a different visual style within the combo box...

Notice the word "Yes" and the rest of the wording in a paler color .

Thanks

Hello,

Try the following code snippet.
CS:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     RadComboBox1.DataSource = CreateDataSource();
     RadComboBox1.DataTextField = "Name";
     RadComboBox1.DataValueField = "ID";
     RadComboBox1.DataBind();
 }
 protected DataTable CreateDataSource()
 {
     DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
     dataTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("ID", typeof(string)));
     dataTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Name", typeof(string)));
     DataRow dr = dataTable.NewRow();
     dr["ID"] = "1";
     dr["Name"] = "<b>FirstName1</b><font color=Red>This is some text!</font>"; //First part in bold and second in red.
     dataTable.Rows.Add(dr);
     DataRow dr2 = dataTable.NewRow();
     dr2["ID"] = "2";
     dr2["Name"] = "<b>FirstName2</b>LastName2";
     dataTable.Rows.Add(dr2);
     return dataTable;
 }

Thanks,
Princy.

Sounds great but it generated the html tags inside the value of a text input control...I'm gonna try to use a RadCombo with a Template...
This should be possible...

[Gotcha]

I used a Template Item for the RadCombo... and onItemDataBound, assigned the styles ... this works on the item template, but the selected item cannot be styled since it is in the input field. So I didnt quite achieve the desired output: Ie having Different Style in the Rad Combo ,,,

I can probably  create my own custom combo using labels/div but is there a way of doing this  with the RadCombo?

Hello Gotcha,

I don't think this would be possible since the text value of the RadComboBox is displayed using an input element, which you can't place html inside, as it will show as is.
