RadComboBox arrow cell size changes when AllowCustomText option set

[Karl]

Hi All,

I have a custom skin for my RadComboBox and wondered if any of you out there could explain to me why the arrow 'box' on the right of the control changes width if I set the "AllowCustomeText" option to true?

I have attached the exact code I'm using to create the issue along with my custom skin. It is worth noting that this custom skin was generated with the Beta version of Teleriks's StyleBuilder ( http://stylebuilder.telerik.com ) . Of course because this is in Beta it's not guaranteed to generate skins with out teething problems and I understand that. That said I'm using Teleriks icon png file.

I've also attached a blown up image of the controls sat on my page and highlighted the difference in width between them. The only difference between the setup of these controls is that the top on has AllowCustomText="True" whereas the bottom one doesn't have the option set at all.

To configure a test page, save my skin, reference it in a new asp.net web page, copy my code in and start debugging.

Relevant ASP.Net mark up:

                id="Test15"
                runat="server"

Hi Karl,

Thank you for the provided code.
Actually the .rcbReadOnly class is applied to the "td" when the AllowCustomText property of RadComboBox is false.
You should override it in order to appear the same:

<style type="text/css">
       .RadComboBox .rcbReadOnly td.rcbArrowCell { width: 18px !important }

       .RadComboBox .rcbReadOnly td.rcbArrowCell a { width: 18px !important }
</style>
