Hello!
I have a composite control with a tree in it:
Dim infraTree As Infragistics.WebUI.UltraWebNavigator.UltraWebTree infraTree = createInfraTree() Dim refreshTree As New Infragistics.WebUI.Misc.WebAsyncRefreshPanel refreshTree.ID = "Page42.refreshTree" Page.Controls.Item(3).Controls.Add(treeOpenDiv) Page.Controls.Item(3).Controls.Add(refreshTree) Page.Controls.Item(3).Controls.Add(treeCloseDiv)
Page.Controls.Item(3) is the form of the page.
If I change the runat proporty of the body for the page, including my composite control to true, the tree is shown completely collapsed, and I can't expand any nodes.
Any suggestions?
Using hard-coded indices and Items directly may interfere with how the page places controls in their respective collections. I can recommend adding the composite control instance directly to the form using:
Page.Form.Controls.Add(myCompositeControl);
Or better yet, to a placeholder on the page on then directly to the placeholder controls collection:
<body> <form id="form1" runat="server"> <asp:PlaceHolder runat="server" ID="TreeViewPlaceHolder"></asp:PlaceHolder> </form> </body>
TreeViewPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(myCompositeControl);
Also, why do you need adding the runat attribute to the body of the page? This is typically not a best-practive in ASP.NET sites.
Hallo!
Thank you for your response.
My CompositeControl acts like a framwork for formal pages. It consists of a tree, an iframe and a tasklist. Because of only loading new pages into the iframe, i have to change the body attributes "onload" and "onunload" a few times during the livecircle of my session (as the "hosted" site likes).Therefor I need runat="server".
Me.Page.Form.Controls.Add()
It does not depend on any other controls and I let vb do the work for finding my form-tag.
Great, looks good to me. You can try the placeholder approach if you want to place the treeview in an exact position on the page (if you have layout and need the treeview to be in a specific place)
