Hi,

I need to customize my XSLT file in order to add some additional functionality to a textbox (similar to an example on KB).

I have created a new skinable textbox named ITSTextBox with custom style ITSTextBoxSkin.

I have changed the XSLT adding a template under the tag:   <xsl:templatematch="WC:Tags.TextBox[@Attr.CustomStyle='ITSTextBoxSkin' and not(@Attr.Multiline)]"mode="modContent">

I have already registered the control in my web.config.

I do not know why, when I run my form with one textbox in it, the form does not show me the textbox. Is it because the xslt file is wrong? If I remove the ITSTextboxSkin in my custom style, the textbox works fine, but it loads the default XSLT.

6.4.0d .NET 4 VS2010

Thanks in advance,

Daniele

 Hi palli,

thank you for the reply, I sent you a sample this morning.

Thanks again,

Daniele

Hi Daniele,

I have taken a look at your sample and it seems that the main reason for your problems is that you don't place the Skin attribute on the custom TextBox class, telling it to use the skin you are modifying. If the Skin attribute is missing, the control will default to the skin of it's parent class, the TextBox, and in there it can't find any matching template for your custom style, so nothing is rendered for the textbox.

You can fix this by modifying your class declaration to:

    [Skin(typeof(ITSTextboxGenericoSkin ))]
    [Serializable()]
    public class ITSTextboxGenerico : TextBox
    {
        public ITSTextboxGenerico()
        {
            this.CustomStyle = "ITSTextboxGenericoSkin";
        }
    }

In addition, please note that the web.config file of your TEST project did not have the control registered. Secondly, the javascript file within the skin of your control does not have the correct properties set for Presentation and PresentationRole. Make sure to check that, else you will get errors when your JavaScript is called.

Hope this helps,

Palli
