Hi Dimo.

I'm all for consistency as long as everything is consistent.

With this change, I now have 3 sizes of text boxes to contend with. I've created a small sample application. For each textbox I made the size="100px". I have a standard asp textbox, a standard asp textbox modified with RadInputManager and a RadTextBox

(sizes specified as: border, padding, box size, padding, border)

asp:textbox = 1, 2, 100, 2, 1 - total 106px
asp:textbox with radinputmanager = 1, 1, 100, 0, 1 - total 104px
radtextbox = 1, 1, 97, 0, 1 - total 100px

I can understand why the radcontrol textboxes are different from an asp textbox. But I don't see why a change would be made to a radtextbox and not to a radinputmanager textbox.

Please. I would like to see a consistency in the rad controls. Either make the radtextbox the same as the input manager (as it was) or make the change across your controls so that an input manager control is the same as the radtextbox.

In my real application I have hundreds of textboxes. I use a combination of radinputmanager and radtextboxes. I would like them to be the same size if I specify a size. Now I am faced with making changes to my application and having to account for a difference of 4px. I started using radinputmanager because of the performance gains I got vs. using radtextboxes. Surely I should not have to change text box size when I flip between the two types of telerik input control.

Thanks, Steve
