RadComboBox - Background color change

[venm]

Hi,

I am using "RadComboBox" with couple of client side events which helped me in achieving the goal of cascading dropdowns. [when I select the first combobox item my second combobox will be loaded & after selecting the second comboboxItem thried combobox will be loaded etc.]

I followed the example at "http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/combobox/examples/functionality/multiplecomboboxes/defaultcs.aspx"

Currently I need to show different background color/ different font color when I am showing "Loading...." message on each dropdown. 
Since I am setting this "Loading..." message in the client side javascript as  "Combo.set_text("Loading...")"
Can anyone help me how to change its color....

Thanks
Venm

Hi Venm,

Checkout the following example which shows how to change the color of the RadComboBox input background color and text color from client side. Hope this will help you in getting strated.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="RadComboBoxItem1" Value="RadComboBoxItem1">
        </telerik:RadComboBoxItem>
        <telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="RadComboBoxItem2" Value="RadComboBoxItem2">
        </telerik:RadComboBoxItem>
    </Items>
</telerik:RadComboBox>
<input id="Button1" type="button" value="button" onclick="ChangeColor();" />

JavScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function ChangeColor(sender, eventArgs)
{
   var combo = $find("<%= RadComboBox1.ClientID %>");
   combo.set_text("Loading...");
   var inputElement = combo.get_inputDomElement();
   inputElement.style.backgroundColor = "red";
   inputElement.style.color = "blue";
}
</script>
