RadComboBox Theme

[Hasitha]

Hi,

I am using the WebBlue as the theme. When the list is long, in IE8 overflow is not working, so the items get transparent, but the default skin is working in IE8.

These are the configuration i have used in the config file,

    <appSettings>
        <add key="Telerik.Skin" value="WebBlue"/>
        <add key="Telerik.EnableEmbeddedSkins" value="false"/>
   </appSettings
        <pages theme="WebBlue" enableViewStateMac="true" maintainScrollPositionOnPostBack="false" viewStateEncryptionMode="Auto">
            <controls>
                <add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI" assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
                <add tagPrefix="asp" namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls" assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
                <add tagPrefix="telerik" namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" assembly="Telerik.Web.UI"/>
            </controls>
        </pages>

Also i have attached the screen for your reference. Can you provide me some information on this matter.
Thanks,
Hasitha.

Hello Hasitha Liyanage,

A recent fix in RadComboBox client-side code is causing this issue in older skins which miss the position:relative style set to the rcbScroll element. So adding the following CSS in your skin will fix the issue:

.rcbScroll
{
    position: relative;
}

I added this fix to the skins css file but it still looks the same.

I also found this other post that seems to have the same issue.
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/combobox/maxheight-property-of-radcombobox-is-not-working-in-ie8.aspx
The post also states to make sure you have the latest version, this is the reason why I'm in this mess. I upgraded to rad compression and had to go back and fix all the skins because the new defaults look different. Users didn't like the change. Dont know why you cant just leave the look the same, and just add more skins. Consistency is the best if its not broke why fix it.

Any other Ideas?

Hello Tim Mackay,

The major reason behind the change in skins was the ability to change them in an unified way by using our Visual Style Builder. The previous design of the skins did not allow the utilization of such tools.

Regarding the issue you are experiencing, please send us your custom skin in a formal support ticket and we will fix it for you.

All the best,
