Since version 4.0.0 Telerik RadGrid applies correctly the styles for the embed third party/<RadControl> column editors in AJAX mode. This topic is for grid versions prior to 4.0.0


When you embed an instance of either RadControl or another third party control in edit form of Telerik RadGrid and the AJAX mode of the grid is enabled, you may experience issues with applying the predefined styles for this control. The reason is that the control is initially invisible and is shown after an AJAX update (the same is applicable with the MS Atlas framework).

To address the unwanted effect you should manually register all the required CSS files in the head tag of your page. Otherwise the control will not be displayed correctly. The easiest way to do this is through a LINK element. The example below shows how to do this for Telerik RadComboBox:

ASPX/ASCX Copy Code
<link href="~/RadControls/Combobox/Skins/[SkinName]/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" runat="server" >
