Setting CssClass when rendering a property in edit mode

Hi, I have tried to change css class of a custom property but it doesn't seem to work in edit mode. Any clues?


        public override void CreateEditControls()        /* - Used when rendering the property in edit mode. */
           {
           this.EditControl = new TextBox();
           this.EditControl.TextMode = TextBoxMode.MultiLine;
           this.EditControl.Rows = 3;
           this.EditControl.Columns = 10;
           this.EditControl.Text = ToString();
           this.EditControl.CssClass = "myclass";
           this.ApplyControlAttributes(this.EditControl);
           this.Controls.Add(this.EditControl);
           this.SetupEditControls();
           }

Best Regards Anders

Hi! I would try and switch places for these two rows as the call to ApplyControlAttributes might overwrite the css class: this.ApplyControlAttributes(this.EditControl); this.EditControl.CssClass = "myclass"; Linus Ekström EPiServer Development Team

Hi, I found the problem. You must set the cssclass after you add the control and before the SetupEditControls. Otherwise it will be overwritten.


        public override void CreateEditControls()        /* - Used when rendering the property in edit mode. */
           {
           this.EditControl = new TextBox();
           this.EditControl.TextMode = TextBoxMode.MultiLine;
           this.EditControl.Rows = 3;
           this.EditControl.Columns = 10;
           this.EditControl.Text = ToString();
           this.ApplyControlAttributes(this.EditControl);
           this.Controls.Add(this.EditControl);
           this.EditControl.CssClass = "myclass";
           this.SetupEditControls();
           }
