[Solved] Trouble setting the backcolor of RadComboBox

[Jeremy]

I have a large web application with many webforms that we use a specific backcolor to indicate required fields. I'm trying to set the backcolor of the radcombobox in the Page_PreRender. The trouble I'm having is the following.

this works:
RadComboBox1.BackColor = Drawing.Color.Blue

this does not work:
RadComboBox1.BackColor = Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#ccffff")

I need to use this color as it has been the required field backcolor in this application for almost 3 years.

Ideas anyone?

Hi Jeremy,

Try setting the BackColor in the PreRender event of the RadCombobox .

CS:

 protected void RadComboBox2_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadComboBox2.BackColor = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#ccffff");

    }

Thanks
Princy.

That's what he says he's doing.  I've also verified that this does not work and would like a solution.

It doesn't work in the Page_PreRender or the RadCombBox1_PreRender.

Hi Jeremy ,

The problem is related to a bug in the control which is already addressed.
