Conditionally supress the background image in the Black skin

[Stuart Hemming]

I've got a control based on the RadTextbox.

My control has a IsMandatory property and I'm doing something like this in the control...

protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnPreRender(e);
    if (isMandatory)
    {
        RadTextBox1.EnabledStyle.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Pink;
    }
}

This works a treat.

Except when the skin is Black. The black skin renders an image in the background of the textbox.

I need to supress this when my input control has IsMandatory = true

I perhaps should have said, for the casual reader, that 'background (or background-image) isn't available as a property to set on the 'EnabledStyle' property.

Hello Stuart,

I'm assuming it would be easier to suppress the background-image if you set the CssClass used by the EnabledStyle. Then in the css style, you could highlight it pink and hide the background-image.

Hello Stuart,

As Kevin also said, you should use a CSS rule to overwrite the background image. The following should work for you:

protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnPreRender(e);
    if (isMandatory)
    {
        RadTextBox1.EnabledStyle.CssClass = "custom";
    }
}

html body span.RadInput input.custom
{
    background:pink;
}

The above CSS rule will be applied regardless of the skin chosen.

Kevin, Tsvetina,

Thanks both for the suggestions.

I had tried changing the style that way, but hadn't gottent the selector right.

I have it now.

Many thanks
