Customizing screen layouts

Hi Guys,

             Could you advise on the best method of handling user configurability of the display of VWG controls. My requirement is to develop a control configuration tool that a user can use to customize the layout i.e. positions of controls in a user control. Should I do this with localize resources. It would be nice to do this with templates like you can with ASP.NET template controls.

I will store all the data for the positions in sql and then generate the localize resouce files.

Regards,

             Alistair

Re: Customizing screen layouts
Hi Alistar,

As for now you can use the runtime drag & drop capabilities of VWG to enable relocation of controls within a user control, however, we have plans to develop a Dashboard control within a suite of commercial offering in the next few months which will enable re-ordering of controls and a Design Surface later next year which will enable creation of a fully functional web browser based designer in runtime.

Regards,

Re: Customizing screen layouts

Daer Itzik,

              I can't find any examples on drag and drop with VWG, can you post some, I never ask for to much do I?

We will have to develop our own designer as we want to incroporate user roles and operations into it as well.

Regards,

               Alistair

Re: Customizing screen layouts

Alistair,

I created a Visual WebGUI custom control which allows the end user to customize Visual WebGUI form in runtime. It allows the end user to customize forms as well as adding  new controls, with a similar design time expericnce as you get in Visual Studio.  Any changes the user makes are persisted and will show for them each time they open the form.  The functionality is built into a custom visual WebGUI control, so no programming changes are needed, all you have to do is drop the control on the form.

I am working with Guy to have it shown on the community gallery section so you can see it.

Re: Customizing screen layouts

Dear James,

                    Great stuff mate ! Thanks for the update as well. What I want to do is to be able to allow users to set the screen layout, fonts, colours of simple controls within the control. I guess that this functionality doesn't need to be in a control itself it could be provided by an AOP advice or these features could be inherited from a base control.

Can we buy or license your code?

Regards,

              Alistair
