How do I change the TabControl background images?

Hi, Does anyone know how I can change the folder images in an AJAX 1.0 TabContainer? I had recently posted in hopes of finding an existing CssClass, but no luck. Is it possible to change these images? I want to swap out that folder image that contains the yellow stripe header.

Thanks! Jason

Currently they are hard-bound to tab implementation. If you could open a work itemhttp://www.codeplex.com/AtlasControlToolkit/WorkItem/Create.aspx we will investigate possible solutions like moving the tabs.css file and the images out of the control code so that it can be easily configured by end users.

The owner of the TabPanel and Calendar extenders has just posted a blog that documents how to customize a tabpanel and calendar. There is a cssclass property that can be set that contains the settings for the different classes. Seehttp://community.bennettadelson.com/blogs/rbuckton/archive/2007/02/02/Skinning-model-for-Calendar-and-Tabs-in-Ajax-Control-Toolkit.aspx.

how do i change the background colour of ValidatorCallout

Hi all

Can someone please tell me how, if it is possible, to change the background colour of 'ValidatorCallout' boxes. The site i am building has a black background and silver/grey text, but the text in the ValidatorCallout box can hardly be seen as it seems to inherits its colour from the page (silver/grey) but the background is 'LemonChiffon' or something similar.

Many thanks

Paul

Great !!!!!

This appears to be what i am looking for.

Question ? i have downloaded and un-zipped this. Now what do i do with it to make it work (how do i apply the patch).

Please excuse my ignorance but i am struggling to learn!

Thanks

Paul

I haven't downloaded it myself... isn't there an .exe in there somewhere? Or maybe a readme :)

Hi again

No the zip contains 4 files 3 are numbered 1 to 3 they have no extention and are 9K, 20K and 6K in size. The 4 file is caller PATCH and is 1K and an XML document. This i have double clicked and it opened in iexplorer but still didn,t help me. Below is the contens of patch.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

-<patch xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" changeset="26620" name="Esben Sundgaard" email="esben2000@.hotmail.com">

<description>This patch will add the property BackgroundColor and BorderColor to the ValidatorCallout control (taken from previously but not merge in patch). And fix problems with styles applied to tables/trs/tds/divs in stylesheet (eg background colors/borders/padding). Fixed by explicit setting border to none, background to transparent and padding to 0 where it is not needed.</description>

I've opened them as files in Visual Studio. Now what the heck am I supposed to do?

I think we need to download the toolkit on th ehomepage - these are patches for this particular flavor of AJAX I think... this particular patch is probably included in the latest release of the toolkit.

Sorry, really confused now.

I thought I had already downloaded it as i am using the ajax extentions (in windows visual web developer express) and it merely needed patching which I don't know how to do.

Yeah, sorry but I can't download a third party toolkit in my environment. Maybe you should register on that forum and see if you can get someone to help you get started there. I thought it would be easier than that. If you want, put a new post in this forum with the same question and someone else with more AJAX knowledge can try to help you.

Thanks for all your effort, i really thought it would be something simple

Many,many thanks for your time and effort. I took your advice and registered with the forums on CodePlex, and contacted the author. He has now posted a compiled complete version for all to use. Also an updated version of the complete Ajax toolkit will be available soon.

Paul

Awesome!
