PasswordBox and Telerik theme

[joe castle]

Hi,

It seems that PasswordBox can not be themed like the rest of the MS controls (Button, TextBox etc). I tried Summer, Windows7 themes but it has no effect...

Thanks,

joe

Hi joe castle,

 Currently the Passwordbox is not supported by our themes. The supported MS controls are TextBox, ScrollViewer, RadioButton, Listbox, Checkbox, Button.

Best wishes,

Is there an alternative telerik control that can be themed?

Thank you,

Hello joe castle,

There is no Telerik control that can be used instead of PasswordTextbox. We are planning to support PasswordTextBox and RepeatButton in future. It is scheduled for Q1 (due middle March). Hope this timeframe is acceptable for you.

All the best,

Has the password text box control been released as per the schedule mentioned?

Hi Selvakumar ,

We are already supporting the password text box control.
Please find attached an example with all the themes of the password text box control.

Hi Dimitrina,

I am using PasswordBox in my application too and it is very annoying that it is not themed like the other boxes. Now I found this thread but I cannot use the sample, as the themes binaries are from last year. Are there new ones with PasswordBox included? And why are you not including these styles in Q2? I think it would be great for all people out there who need masked boxes from time to time in security-critical areas.

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Hi Peter,

You can apply the Telerik built-in themes to the PasswordBox thus styling it as the other RadControls in your application. I updated the sample project attached to this thread to demonstrate the look of the control in the different themes.

Please have a look at it and let me know if this is what you have in mind.

Hi Tina,

perfect! Just the way I expected but I wonder why you are not doing this automatically. Especially as you are manipulating TextBoxes the same way ;-).

Thank you for your help.
