Turning off border on RadTextBox?

[Dave Galligher]

Looking for a simple way to turn off the border drawing for the RadTextBox; since the control is based on the Microsoft Textbox I expected there to be a BorderStyle property but there isn't, making a composite control and the looking at using the RadTextBox on the control to take advantage of some of the AutoCompleteXXX properties. Any help how to turn off the border wonder be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for writing.

You can hide the text box border, by setting the Visibility property of the BorderPrimitive to Collpased:

radTextBox1.TextBoxElement.Border.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed;

I hope that you find this information helpful. If there is anything else we can assist you with, do not hesitate to contact us.

Hi, is there a similar approach to hide the border on a DropDownList control and a DateTimePicker control? I've tried the following but isn't working:

RadDropDownList.DropDownListElement.TextBox.Border.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden
RadDateTimePicker.DateTimePickerElement.TextBoxElement.Border.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden

Thanks,

Javier

Hello Javier,

Thank you for writing.

Yes, you can hide the borders of the desired controls. Here is how to do that:

((BorderPrimitive)radDropDownList1.DropDownListElement.Children[2]).Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;
((BorderPrimitive)radDateTimePicker1.DateTimePickerElement.Children[2]).Visibility = ElementVisibility.Collapsed;

Can the border be removed on the ASP.Net version of the RadTextBox?

Hi Alex,

This forum concerns RadControls for WinForms, while your question is about RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX. Please address it in the appropriate forums so you can get adequate response: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax.aspx.
