I have a requirement to let users copy from a label. In order to accomplish this i'm trying to make a text editor look like a label. It's almost there, but I don't want it to turn white when it enters edit mode. Is there a way to keep textbox transparent when it enters edit mode? Or even another way to make a label copyable?
Thanks,
Amie
Hi Amie,
I'm not sure what the issue is. I assume you are setting the control's Appearance.BackColor to SystemColors.Control to give it the same background color as a label. That should do it.
If you set the Appearance on an UltraTextEditor, then the Appearance will still be applied when the control goes into edit mode. It doesn't change color when it goes into edit mode - at least not by default.
Thanks for the response. I was not setting the Appearance.BackColor to SystemColors.Control...I was actually setting it to Color.Transparent. When I set to SystemColors.Control, it does not change color, as you said. But I don't want it to be gray, I want it to match the isl style behind it. How can I accomplish this?
So you want the TextBox to match the colors used by the isl for a label?
That's a big tricky, but it can be done. What I would do is edit the isl so that the Label appearance is using a Resource. Then you can set the TextEditor's Appearance.StyleResourceName to the name of the resource and it will pick up the same appearance - overriding the isl settings of the TextEditor.
Hi,
I am new to Infragistics .
1) I have the same problem , Could you please let me know , how can I edit the .isl file and what should I put in the .isl file?
2)Also I have observed that, this control does not show the Scrollbar until user clicks on it, in my application I do not want user to click on the control , still user should be able to see the scrollbar as we will add moew n more text. How can I do it?
Thanks.
1) You edit isl files using AppStylist, which installs with NetAdvantage. I'm not sure what you mean by "what should I put in the .isl file?". I explained this above. What part of my explanation is giving you trouble?
2) Set AlwaysInEditMode to true.
