Just thought I'd throw this out there for thought... Have you considered basing the ItemsCollection off of System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl? I was just thinking that it'd be nice to be able to insert a control that isn't based off Ext into the mix. This would broaden the value of Coolite in my opinion. For example...let's say I'd like to use WebGuage from Infragistic's NetAdvantage product in my application. Chad Permalink: Post #933

Hi Chad, If you're adding Controls to the Items property, then they do need to inherit from Coolite.Ext.Web.Component. You can add any Control to the ContentControls collection. Any Container Control, such as Panel, Window, TabPanel, will accept any Control into their <Content> region or code-behind .ContentControls Collection. Example protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.Panel1.ContentControls.Add(new LiteralControl("test")); } Where did you want to add the other 3rd party control? Hope this helps. -- Geoffrey McGill Coolite Inc. Core Developer twitter [personal] [coolite] Permalink: Post #942

But how about if i want to put a literal control inside a panel with a 'fit' layout. I cant figure out a way to do this because <ext:FitLayout .. /> only accepts Ext/Coolite controls. Like here's an example: <ext:Panel ID="ContentArea" runat="server" Title="Contacts"> <Content> <ext:FitLayout runat="server"> <iframe id='contentFrame' src='/Contacts/Default.aspx' frameborder='0'></iframe> </ext:FitLayout> </Content> </ext:Panel> This is wrong because FitLayout does not allow an iframe to be placed inside it. Only Ext/Coolite control is allowed. Currently, i explicitly set the width and height of the iframe to 100% and place it directly inside the panel (without using the layout container) to have the fit layout behavior. -- Agha Permalink: Post #1050

Hi Agha, If you're using an <iframe>, stretching to fit the panel is a relatively easy task by setting the .Html property. The following sample demonstrates setting the .Html property with an <iframe> html string. Example <ext:Window ID="Panel1" runat="server" Height="450" Width="800" Title="Title" Html="<iframe width='100%' height='100%' src='http://www.google.com/' frameborder='0'></iframe>" /> Of course, the .Html property could also be set from the code-behind. Example this.Panel1.Html = string.Format("<iframe width='100%' height='100%' src='{0}' frameborder='0'></iframe>", "http://www.google.com/"); The Layout controls will only directly accept controls which inherit from Coolite.Ext.Web.Component. Hope this helps. -- Geoffrey McGill Coolite Inc. Core Developer twitter [personal] [coolite] Permalink: Post #1083
