Hello Martin,
This can be done in Visual WebGui v6.4 by copying a niner XSLT implementation like we have on the Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Button, to the Gizmox.WebGUI.Forms.Panel and implementing the CSS styles required for the niner approach.
Once this is done, you could add the designer enabled skin properties that will allow customization of the Skin values and connect them to the CSS styles themselves.
All this will allow you to create images and styles for every part of your ninered Panel (TopLeft, TopCenter, TopRight, MiddleLeft, MiddleCenter, MiddleRight, BottomLeft, BottomCenter and BottomRight).
If you need any clarifications for this, please reply and I would love to help you.
If you wish, we could create this custom Panel for you within a Customization service, the details of which you can get here.
If not and you still decide to create this new Panel, we would much appreciate it if you could share it with our community by uploading it as a code-snippet on this page here.
Regards,
Ori Cohen
