Coolite 

ViewPort Preview

Thursday, April 10, 2008 posted by geoffrey.mcgill | 5 Comments

Hot on the heels of the BorderLayout Preview, is a preview for the new Coolite ViewPort ASP.NET web control.

When added to your Page, the ViewPort control will automatically size itself to the size of the browser window content area (viewport). The ViewPort control must contain a Layout control (typically BorderLayout). Within each Region of the BorderLayout, you can add other containers controls such as Panel, TabPanel, TreePanel or GridPanel.

Child controls within a BorderLayout Region (North, South, East, West or Center) can themselves contain a Layout. By simply combining various Layout and Panel controls, a developer, within minutes can create elegant and functional application layouts which work consistently across all modern web browsers.

Code samples for both markup (<ext:ViewPort />) and C# code-behind are provided.

The sample also demonstrates the included "Gray" Theme, which can easily be set with one property at the Page, Session, Application or web.config levels.

The ViewPort control will be available with the version 0.5 release of the Coolite Toolkit.
