[Solved] Need ComboBox to look like DropDownList

[Jill Allison]

Does anyone have the skin I can apply that will make my RadComboBox look EXACTLY like the default <asp:DropDownList>?  Specifically, I need the right arrow to be blue when not hovering - currently it is just white.  I used the Vista skin because that most closely resembled it, but it is still off.

When I tried to modify the Vista skin for RadComboBox, none of my change appeared to be applied - even when I cleared cache.  Makes me wonder if it's really looking at my skin theme?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.  We are having to switch from DropDownList to RadComboBox so we can take advantage of the client-side events, but we need a consistent look between the ddl's and the rcb's.  Otherwise it won't work for us.

Thanks,
Jill

I'm not sure what the solution is but I'd try using firebug in Firefox to figure it out - I've solved a ton of issues relating to css recently with that....

I agree with jill, I also tried modify the Web20 skin for RadComboBox, but none of my change will get reflected.

is there any work around.?

Hello,

Have you tried adding !important modifier to custom style, in order to override the default style? Example shows how to use !important modifier in custom style.

CSS:

<style type="text/css">
.RadComboBox_Web20
{
   color: yellow !important;
}
</style>

I hope the following links would be of help in changing the appearance of RadComboBox. Go through the links below.

Hi, Shinu

I tried your advice of adding the <style> ... in my aspx page but it did not work either.

Please help me in this.
