change 'loading' hourglass image 

Hi all,

I have been trying to change the default hourglass/loading image using Visual WebGUI 6.3.7a. I added the gizmox.Forms and gizmox.Clients projects to our ASP.NET solution. I added a custom Gizmox library in which we build our components and have this library reference the Forms and Clients gizox source projects. I changed the image inside gizmox sources / skins (hourglass.gif) to the one we use in our site. I recompiled the Froms.dll (and client.dll). We use WebGUI to embed controls inside ASP.NET pages.

But for some reason i am not getting the new loading image but still the default blue one when running the ASP.NET page which has the control embedded?

I also deleted all temp files inside window\framework..etc... I ran a clean and full build but still no luck?

Anyone on this forum can give me some pointers on what i might be missing here?

 

thanks,

Daniel

Re: change 'loading' hourglass image 

Hi Daniel,

The reccommended way to do this is via a new Theme. You can view more info in this thread here.

Note that there is a difference in how you name the theme files between C# and vb.net, as you can see from a list I once collected here.

Hope this helps,

Palli

Re: change 'loading' hourglass image 

Thanks that has been a great help!  I was a bit dissapointed that i had to recompile sources to change an image! So one last question. I read the referenced thread and video tutorial and one question i never saw properly answered is how do you located the loading image in the center of the frame?

 

thanks again!!

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

In the thread I referenced (here), check Ori's reply to Richard dated 12/7/2008 8:47 AM. From that reply you'll know exactly what files to change to accomplish this. In VWG 6.3.x, you'll have to dive deep into the HTML code, but in VWG 6.4, this will be customizable in much simpler way. And as you can see from the issue here, this has allready been implemented into the 6.4P1 prerelease version.

Re: change 'loading' hourglass image 

Yes, i got it all working now. once i understood the themes and overrides it is pretty straight forward. So even with some html coding and some style/css stuff it is still much better than the current approach we use. I did post another thread on this category around caching. Could you have a look at this one? we use Web GUI as components inside asp.net site and if i load a page that contains a web gui component and then navigate away and come back again the component is not being refreshed. What can i do to force this?

 

thanks again for the great support!!!

daniel
