radDropDownList Border Color

[Sr]

Hi,

I am unable to highlight the full dropdown list (including the text box and button) 

The attached file will show how it is currently highlight but would like to highlight in the same way(color and thickness) as the textbox in the attached file. I used the below code but it did not highlight the button.

Thanks in advance for your help.

radDDL.DropDownListElement.TextBox.Fill.BackColor = Color.Red;

Hello,

Thank you for writing.

You can change the border color of the whole drop down list by using the following code line:

((BorderPrimitive)radDDL.DropDownListElement.Children[2]).ForeColor = Color.Red;

Feel free to write back with any further questions.

Kind regards,

In VB.Net pls how would you do this?

Here you are Denis: 

DirectCast(radDDL.DropDownListElement.Children(2), BorderPrimitive).ForeColor = Color.Red

Hi,

I think it has to be 
((BorderPrimitive)radDDL.DropDownListElement.Children[0]).ForeColor = Color.Red;

rather than

((BorderPrimitive)radDDL.DropDownListElement.Children[2]).ForeColor = Color.Red;

I am using version: 2013.3.1016.40

Thx,
MG

Hello MG,

Thank you for writing.

I can confirm that the BorderPrimitive is the first child in the collection in our latest version. The change was introduced back in Q3 2012 as stated in our Release Notes.

I hope this helps.

In vb.net, I could only make this work with:

  Dim bp As BorderPrimitive = TryCast(RadDropDownList1.DropDownListElement.Children.Item(0), BorderPrimitive)
        bp.ForeColor = Color.Red

- I found the border at position zero in the children collection.

Is the above answer out-of-date, or  am I doing something different ?

Hi Ian,

I have tested this and it works on my side. Are you using a specific theme in this case? Please make sure that the color is not set at another place in the code.

I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.
