Visual WebGui developers can inherit any of the out-of-the-box controls and choose to customize them and add functionality or change their looks. The major customization options are:
- Overriding controls behavior
- Client JavaScript behavior
- Server C# behavior
- Changing controls layout (XSLT/HTML/XAML)
- Changins styles and additon animations (CSS/XAML)
Visual WebGui provides client and server methodology and services on top of which it is possible to create completely new controls.
Creating a new controls means that a set of elements have to be implemented according to the desired behaviors of the new control:
- Server side behavior (majority of the code)
- Client side behaviors
- Control’s layout (XSLT/HTML)
- Controls resources (images, styles etc)
- Design-time behavior
Visual WebGui provides an automatic 3rd party wrapper creator which makes it very easy to take any 3rd party controls of the large vendors and wrap it into Visual WebGui.
The automatic controls wrapper performs between 90%-100% of the wrapping process automatically for any common, large vendor components.
