Customize the textbox background color and text color in EJ2 TypeScript Textbox control

15 May 20235 minutes to read

You can customize the textbox styles such as background-color, text-color and border-color by overriding its default styles.

To change the styles of the floating label, you must override the style to the input element.

import {  TextBox } from '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs';

let normalTextBox: TextBox = new TextBox({
        placeholder: 'First Name',
      });
      normalTextBox.appendTo('#normal');
      var floatTextBox: TextBox = new TextBox({
        placeholder: 'Last Name',
        floatLabelType: 'Auto',
      });
      floatTextBox.appendTo('#float');
