[Solved] ComboBox in Pager inherits Grid skin?

[Peter Luth]

We are using a custom skin for all our RadGrids with the following line in a App_Themes .skin file:

<rad:RadGrid runat="server" Skin="ourskin" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false"  ImagesPath="~/Skins/Grid/" />

However, the pager contains a ComboBox. This ComboBox is wrongly styled, since it tries to use "ourskin" for ComboBox as well, but we are using Web20 for RadComboBox:

<rad:RadComboBox runat="server" Skin="Web20" />

What is the best solution?

Hi Martin,

All controls, which are automatically created by RadGrid use the same skin as the RadGrid itself.

In your case I suggest you to register a CSS file with a RadComboBox "ourskin" skin. Alternatively, you can hide the combobox, so that it is not used inside the pager, or you can use a pager template, which uses a RadComboBox with a skin of your preference.

Kind regards,

Thanks for your solutions.

It would however be much better if we could provide the skin we wanted to use for the ComboBox in the pager. It's not the best solution for us to copy one of your standard skins and rename it to "ourskin", which means we won't get fixes or improvements you make to your standard skins.

Hi Martin,

I agree with you, however, this limitation exists for a reason and is related to RadSkinManager. Sorry for the inconvenience.
