Appearance

In this article, you will find information about the styling options and rendering of the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core TextBox.

For a live example, refer to the Appearance Demo of the TextBox.

Options

The TextBox HtmlHelper provides the following styling options:

  • Size()—configures the overall size of the component.
  • FillMode()—defines how the color is applied to the component.
  • Rounded()—specifies the border radius of the component.

Size

The Size() method controls the size of the rendered TextBox.

The example below demonstrates how to adjust the Size of the component:

@(Html.Kendo().TextBox()
    .Name("textbox")
    .Size(ComponentSize.Medium)
)
<kendo-textbox name="textbox"
               size="ComponentSize.Medium">
</kendo-textbox>

The following values are available for the Size option:

  • Small
  • Medium
  • Large
  • None

The default size value is Medium and it is applied to the wrapping span element through the k-input-md class.

<span class="k-textbox k-input k-input-md">
</span>

Rounded

The border radius of the TextBox can be customized through the Rounded() method.

@(Html.Kendo().TextBox()
    .Name("textbox")
    .Rounded(Rounded.Medium)
)
<kendo-textbox name="textbox"
               rounded="Rounded.Medium">
</kendo-textbox>

The following values are available for the Rounded option:

  • Small
  • Medium
  • Large
  • Full
  • None

The default value is Medium and it is added as a class k-rounded-md to the wrapping span element.

<span class="k-textbox k-input k-rounded-md">
</span>

FillMode

The FillMode() method controls the way the color is applied to the TextBox component.

@(Html.Kendo().TextBox()
    .Name("textbox")
    .FillMode(FillMode.Solid)
)
<kendo-textbox name="textbox"
               fill-mode="FillMode.Solid">
</kendo-textbox>

The following values are available for the FillMode option:

  • Solid
  • Flat
  • Outline
  • None

The default FillMode value is Solid and it is applied to the wrapping span element through the k-input-solid class.

<span class="k-textbox k-input k-input-solid">
</span>

Rendering

Starting with version R1 2022, the component has a new rendering. For additional information on the decision behind these changes, visit the Components Rendering Overview article.

To review the latest rendering of the component, refer to the HTML specifications in the Kendo UI Themes Monorepo. The tests folder of the repository contains the rendering for all flavors of the components, providing a clear reference for how their elements are structured. The rendering information can help you customize a component's appearance and behavior by applying custom CSS or JavaScript to suit specific design or functional requirements.
