Web Forms :: Change To 4.0 Causes All Disabled Buttons To Lose Their Theme?
Mar 8, 2011
We have a problem on a new server where disabling a themed button loses its theme. This happens consistently on all buttons now.
We just switched to a new iis server 7.5 using asp.net framework 4.0
Before, the buttons through out the website have a nice style/theme. These are not set inside each button and there are no classes set specifically for buttons I dont think but I believe inherit the theme from I believe the web.config in either:
All the buttons did display a nice light blue gradient, and when disabled they go a few shades lighter blue
For some reason now in .net framework 4.0 all disabled buttons seem to lose their theme and become the default grey color. Enabling them again brings its theme back
The application Im working on has a navigation menu that uses buttons that are pure black with no edges. This means that it is quite hard to tell if a button is disabled or not, based on the standard changes to a disabled button. Is there any way to change the appearance of the buttons when they become disabled; changing the background color, for example? If so, how do I go about it?
I posted the question below, and then discovered that the code I posted does work, if the button is not in the GridView header. In fact, I can't seem to make the button in the header do anything.As long as I can trigger the sort, I can make this work somehow, but ideally, I'd like the mechanism to be in the headers.Any ideas on why that button isn't working? Original message:I've got a GridView bound to a SQLDataSource, and have sorting enabled. This works great, but some of my users will have JavaScript disabled, and the page has to have the same functionality for them.
I've looked into sorting a GridView without JavaScript, but all the solutions I've found assume that I'm NOT binding to SQLDataSource - because of course, If I were, I'd just enable sorting. So I wind up back where I started.Is there a way for me to enable sorting for both regular and non-JavaScript users? I know one option is to install buttons instead of the header links, which would be fine, but I have no idea what my code should look like. I took a wild guess and tried:
[Code]....
...where "ColumnA" is the sort expression. I know I'd have to check the current sort direction for the Gridview and reset it - I just wanted to see if this would work at all, and it didn't seem to do anything. I also have both CausesValidation and UseSubmitBehavior set to False, since I just want to sort.
But on a admin directory, i use a different theme. So i change the aspx file header:
theme="themeAdmin"
But right now he uses both themes. I would like to change it so in the admin directory he should use 1 theme and not the default one. How can i change that ?
of course by deleting it from the web.config and adding it to all other aspx files. But i want to use it in the web.config for the deftheme items.
I would like to change a Theme in an ASP.NET web application, depending on the login credentials. So, if user1 logs in, then the Theme will automatically be set to say User1Theme. And if user2 logs in, then the theme will automatically be set to User2Theme. Otherwise, I would like the theme to be set to DefaultTheme.
I have a web-application with more than 5 themes. Each themes covers a completely different style for different customers. whenever we publish a new version of our application we send it for all of customers.
We specify theme in web.config file in <Page> tag. like
<page theme="Theme1" /> // or Theme2 for second customer.
with this approach we easily change the style of application from each other without writing codes which needs a new publish for each one.
With changing the theme="Theme1". nothing change and we didn't write a code in application , so why changing theme don't change the theme and we need a new publish?
we want to change it in web.config or somewhere else and with changing it the theme change without needing a new publish for each one.
Update :
I Publish Once and then copy the published version for each customer (5 times) then in each web.config file I change the theme="CustomerTheme". but only the theme which was active in publish process is usable in all of 5 versions and other 4 themes are un-usable Actually the main question is that why changes in Web.Config need a different publish while it is XML and do not need a complie. I should Add this note that, App_Theme include all of 5 themes so that all of them Compiles and are ready to use
This is the way I publish the application

Update 2
here IFound the exact problem reported by someone else. he resolve the problem but I can't underestand how he resolved this Issue.
Imagine an ASP.NET application with several theme defined within it. How can I change theme of total application (not just a single page) dynamically. I know it is possible through <pages Theme="Themename" /> in web.config. But I want to be able to change it dynamically. How shpuld I do it?
You must have noticed one link in yahoo.com, msn.com or other popular websites named "Page Options". When you click this link you get a popup displaying different small several color icons. After clicking one of these icons your page theme changes without entire page refresh. Now you are able to see the same page with different look and feel.
How does it happen and what it takes to do it? Is this possible in ASP.NET? If yes, how to do it?
I wanna to change the color of any disabled control to black like in enabled one because of special case, i tried many solutions like make the textbox read only but (i donot want this solution because of some reason of this case) , i use Css file , every thing is changed except the color of the text how to change the color to be more clear .
I have an Asp.net web page that has 2 buttons with onclick events. The problem is, when a text field has the cursor and the enter key is hit the first button is triggered and not the seconded one (the one I want). I tried setting the tab index values,
i use edit and delete Property in grid view according to this link URL....here in gridview write DELETE EDIT//is there any way that i change text of DELETE and EDIT and write another word?
VB, .net 4.0, VS 2010. All of the sudden all of my button controls aren't rendering properly. They are in places on the form that make no sense. If I change the button control to any other control name such as an image button, they format corrrectly.
I would like to change the 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons texts without using the ModalDialog option thing. I suppose that using JavaScript will be the answer, but how?
