[Solved] Formatting RadTextbox inside Edit Form

[RetoHell]

Hi Telerik-Team

We've got the following scenario: a RadGrid with an EditForm Template inside. The EditForm contains several RadTextboxes, everything works fine.

Now we're trying to apply some custom css to the RadTextboxes inside the EditForm. We're working on this for several hours now but we still fail. Embeddedskins are turned off. Can you show us a simple way to achieve this? A small sample explaining how to set width/font et cetera of this nested textboxes would be very helpful. We're using 2008 Q2.

Thanks in advance!
Tom

Hello Tom,

By design, the RadTextBoxes always have an inline width style applied. If you want to tweak these controls' widths with external CSS, you need to use the !important clause. Please refer to:

I recommend you to modify the CSS rules, shown in the help article, so that they influence only RadTextBoxes inside the RadGrid edit form. For example:

CSS

 .rgEditForm  .riTextBox
 {
   width: 50px  !important ;
 }
