RadDatePicker custom skin for sharing embedded calendar still refer to Telerik WebResource

[Andrew Zhao]

I have two RadDatePicke controls which share a embedded calendar control. I created the custom skin for RadInput and RadCalendar, and tried to customize the popup calendar look and feel. Howerer, many times, the CSS is referred to Telerik WebResource instead of my customized local CSS file. How to avoid the reference to Telerik WebResource? Please advise it.

Hi Andrew Zhao,

Based on the code snippet, it looks like you have custom base stylesheets as well (Calendar.css and Input.css). If this is the case, please set EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet="false" to the DatePickers.

Note that if you have other DatePickers, Calendars or Inputs on the page, they will still register their base stylesheets and they will override your custom styles. In order to prevent this, you should either disable these controls' base styles as well, or increase the specificity of your custom base styles. For more information about specificity, please refer to:
