Set Color And Other Controls For A Literal Control In Code In Asp.net?
Mar 26, 2012
I am coding a dynamic asp.net page in which i want to have text boxes in a page and the number of text boxes depend on a previous user input. Since the number of text boxes are decided dynamically, I am going with designing them in code rather than in the aspx page.Now I need these fields to be mandatory and so want to indicate a RED asterisk symbol in front of the label corresponding to each text box.I am really new to working in .net and I couldn't figure out how to set a specific color to a labelcontrol.[code]....
I want my User Control to be able to have Literal Content inside of it. For Example:
<fc:Text runat="server">Please enter your login information:</fc:Text>
Currently the code for my user control is:
<ParseChildren(True, "Content")> _ Partial Public Class ctrFormText Inherits UserControl[code]..............
And when I put text inside this control (like above) i get this error: Parser Error Message: Literal content ('Please enter your login information to access CKMS:') is not allowed within a 'System.Collections.ArrayList'.This control could have other content than just the text, so making the Content property an attribute will not solve my problem.I found in some places that I need to implement a ControlBuilder Class, along with another class that implements IParserAccessor.Anyway I just want my default "Content" property to have all types of controls allowed in it, both literal and actual controls.
I have a TextBox that displays a color as its background color and the background color code in its text. I have set the text color as Black.The problem is that if the user sets the color as Black then the color code will be unreadable. How do I set the text color programmatically so that it becomes readable when the user selects any color?
How do I do this? If I cut and paste, then it wipes the code, sometimes the stuff doesn't even show up when I run the program (I guess it's loosing all the handler information) I read about not cutting / pasting controls in the sticky at the top.
I would like to use a full range of possibilities for a color, such as 255,255,255 instead of predefined colors, like red. How can I do this in code. Me.backcolor=?
I have a maximized form that has controls at the top of it and a large DataGridView that is docked below all the controls. Its kind of like the Ribbon in MS Office. The controls cover about 1/4 of the screen at the top. I would like a way for the user to click a button to hide all the controls then automatically expand into the place the controls were so the user can view more data in the DataGridView and visa versa. For example, in MS Office Excel you can hide the ribbon by clicking a tiny button that has "^" on it.
I'm not very familiar with all the controls in Visual Studio so I would like to hear some recommendations. Is this situation ideal for a SplitContainer or ToolStripContainer or am I way off base here?
How can I add controls to a form in code and set the properties of the controls using the With statement?Also I would like to know how to add a container control and then add a control to that container.
I have 100s of Input Controls on my form (TextBox, ComboBox), now what i want is When the control receives Focus I want it's Back Color set to some color say 'Lemon Yellow' to highlight the control & when it leaves focus set it to it's original.
I want to have my current row stand out as the current row by virtue of the background color.I also want my current cell stand out from the row color.
in other words i want to controll the background of the current cell as well as the current row, and have these colors different from each other as wel as the background from the non current cells.
I am getting confused with the notion of the current row vs the selected row.I have tried messing with the default row style.selectedbackgroungcolor as well as the same for the default cell style, but cant get it to work the way i want.
i can almost get it if i set the selection mode to full row, but then cannot get the current cell to have a different background color.
I have a form with transparent background (using png file).All controls placed over it becomes black at start then they change there color and comes to there original state on MouseHover. Its not the transparency keys problems since the transparency key color is different that controls back color. What can be the problem?
I am wondering if anyone has any idea how to make the controls stack and fill up the available space left by a control if the control is hidden or removed from the UltraGridBagLayoutPanel.
If I hide [Textbox 3] as of now, it will disperse the space left equally and pad the remaining text boxes with the space. However, I would like it to do this...
[Textbox 1] [Textbox 2] [Textbox 4] [Textbox 5]
Where all the text boxes will move up and [Textbox 4] will completely consume the space left by [Textbox 3].
I am newbie using asp.net I want to ask on how to change color of the label with some conditional statement. For e.g if the stock is below 20 then the label will became red if not then it's black.
