    I need a visual indicator on the input controls to show unsaved changes.

    Does anyone have an example of altering the background colour, border, or some other part of a control's UI to indicate the user has changed the value since saving?

    Thanks,

    Ken

    Hello Ken,

    Try the following approach in order to change the backcolor  after changing the value.

    JavaScript:
     
    <script type="text/javascript"> 
        var textBox; 
        function OnValueChanged(sender, args) { 
            textBox = sender; 
            setTimeout("textBox._textBoxElement.style.backgroundColor = 'yellow';", 10); 
        } 
    </script> 
    [Attach OnValueChanged event to RadTextBox]

    This is close, but the background colour doesn't stay.

    I need to keep the "changed" appearance until the next save (postback)

    Hi Ken,

    In order to change the appearance of a RadInput textbox, so that it is preserved, you should modify the control's styles collection:

    http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/input_clientsidebasics.html

    Apart from EnabledStyle, you can also modify HoveredStyle and FocusedStyle.

    SomeStyle[0] is for inline styles, while SomeStyle[1] is for CSS classes.

    Kind regards,
