The width on combobox is being set to 160px for the width from the bin code if no width attribute has been parsed to it.
I think this is bad since the default width should be controlled by the skin css and not from the bin/dll.
I found a hack for this, but it will change all ComboBox sizes and overrule the width attribute, but most importantly it overrules the static 160px width which was needed for this customer (without changing all pages) when upgrading to the AJAX version.
Create a css class called ".RadComboBox_SKIN" where SKIN is the skin name (working on a custom skin here) and add min-width or max-width to make it bigger or smaller. I guess it won't work in IE6 thou.

Hi Anders M.,
The default width is needed because of the rendering mechanism of the combobox. Setting the width in the skin's css file would not be applied at the proper time when the combobox needs its width to properly render the input field.
You can, however, control the width using the Width property of the combobox.

Yes thanks, I know about the Width attribute for the control - just wanted to adjust by the skin rather than have to mix the markup with visual settings.
But alright, too bad that the dll/bin > css for the visuals here.

Hello guys,
Sorry to raise back this old thread, but is there any way to set default width of a control like textbox or combobox without using the Width property of each instance ?!
As Anders said, it would have been great to do this using the skins ...
Thanks in advance for your answer.
