Is there anyway to use the incredibly useful IE developer tools in AppStylist to drill down the HTML being rendered on the screen? I find it indispensable to see how the various CSS properties are being applied and where from. I know I can drop the control onto a test web page in my app and use it there, but it would be great if I could hit F12 in AppStylist as well.
If not, then one for the wish list maybe?
Cheers, Rob.
Hi Rob,
AppStylist is an independent Windows Forms application. It is not possible to use IE developer tools or other Developers Toolbar with it.
If you want to see such feature in AppStylist you could submit a Feature Request:http://devcenter.infragistics.com/Protected/RequestFeature.aspx
Hi Hristo - I know it's a separate app but one suspects it's using an Internet Explorer control in the canvas window to render the control. I can't see you rolling your own browser ;-) But thanks for the link for feature requests. Cheers, Rob.
Learning more about how the styles work, I've also discovered you can have a web page open in IE at the same type as AppStylist and as long as the later is editing the CSS files used by the webpage, you can make a change in AppStylist, save the changes and then refresh the IE page. It's a little slow at saving in AppStylist but still faster than re-running one's webapp.
