Accessing and Customizing Elements
Updated over 6 months ago
Accessing and customizing elements can be performed either at design time, or at run time. Before proceeding with this topic, it is recommended to get familiar with the visual structure of the RadMultiColumnComboBox.
Design time
You can access and modify the style for different elements in RadMultiColumnComboBox by using the Element hierarchy editor.

C#
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.MultiColumnComboBoxElement.ArrowButton.Fill.BackColor = Color.Aqua;
this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.MultiColumnComboBoxElement.TextBoxElement.ForeColor = Color.Red;
In order to style the pop-up cells it is suitable to use the CellFormatting event that RadGridView offers.
