Disabling a button loses theme in 4.0 framework

[Adam King]

For some reason now in .net framework 4.0 all disabled buttons seem to lose their theme and become the default grey color. Enabling them again brings its theme back

We just switched to a new iis server 7.5 using asp.net framework 4.0

The buttons through out the website have a nice style/theme. These are not set inside each button and there are no classes set specifically for buttons I dont think but I believe inherit the theme from somewhere, I believe the web.config in either:

 <appSettings>
    <add key="Telerik.Skin" value="WebBlue" />
...

OR it is set in our custom theme
<system.web>
    <pages styleSheetTheme="Seniors">

All the buttons did display a nice light blue gradient, and when disabled they go a few shades lighter blue

Any ideas why the disabled button would look different now? Or how to change it

Thanks

Hello Adam,

We are familiar with this issue. The problem here is that the new framework puts a class to the disabled controls (class="aspNetDisabled") and in such cases, as explained before, the decorator does not style these controls. For the time being we cannot provide a workaround, but we will do our best to have it fixed for Q1 2011 SP1.


Kind regards,

fyi - the same problem exists after upgrading to the new telerik (March 16 2011) Q1 11 release

Hello Adam,

Yes, as I noted in my previous reply, we are still investigating possible solutions and we will do our best to have this issue resolved for the first service pack.
