Same properties on multiple Comboboxes.

[Aamir]

I have 4 Comboboxes on my pages, I want each of them to have same properties like

EnableAutomaticLoadOnDemand="true"

EnableVirtualScrolling="true"

Filter="Contains"

ItemsPerRequest="15"

MarkFirstMatch="True"

Skin="Default"

EnableLoadOnDemand="True"

ShowMoreResultsBox="True"

 

How can I achieve it without having to write same properties for each of them?

Hello Aamir,

For similar scenarios, you can utilize the ASP.NET Themes and Skins, see ASP.NET Themes and Skins.

For example, you can create a Skins file where you will define all the properties you want the ComboBoxes to inherit Globally.

mySkin.skin

<telerik:RadComboBox
            SkinId = "mySkin"
            runat="server"
            EnableVirtualScrolling="true"
            Filter="Contains"
            ItemsPerRequest="15"
            MarkFirstMatch="true"
            Skin="Default"
            ShowMoreResultsBox="true"></telerik:RadComboBox>

 

In the ASPX page, you will need to register the desired Skin:

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Theme="mySkin" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="Default" %>

 

From this point on, you can make the ComboBoxes inherit the properties of the mySkin.skin file by setting their SkinID:

<telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="RadComboBox1" SkinID="mySkin" />
<telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="RadComboBox2" SkinID="mySkin" />
<telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="RadComboBox3" SkinID="mySkin" />
<telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="RadComboBox4" SkinID="mySkin" />
<telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="RadComboBox5" SkinID="mySkin" />
<telerik:RadComboBox runat="server" ID="RadComboBox6" SkinID="mySkin" />

 

Kind regards,
