User Control Designer Size

Posted by Community Admin on 09-Jun-2011 00:00

Hi,

I searched for a solution to change the DesignerBox for a control, but nothing works.
"dialogBase.resizeToContent();" doesn't do anything no matter where i put that..
Even if i call it on the ascx page at the bottom.

So how do i change the size of the Box like it does when editing an image or a text?

Greetings
Niko

Hi Nikodem,

If you use Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.AjaxDialogBase as a basis you should be able to call

this.resizeToContent();

or dialogBase.resizeToContent(); if you use Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.ControlDesign.ControlDesignerBase as a base.

Kind regards,

I have a similar problem on my CustomSettingsDesignerView dialog based on the products module - it works perfectly except for the same issue of resizing i have tried both dialogBase.resizeToContent(); as shown below and this.resizeToContent(); - nither works - do i have it in the correct place ?

refreshUI: function ()

this._refreshing = true;

var control = this.get_controlData();

var field = $find(this._numberOfTestimonialsDisplayedControlId);

field.set_value(control.NumberOfTestimonialsDisplayed);

var zonefield = $find(this._zonesSelectedControlId);

var taxonArray = control.SelectedZones.split(",");

var selectedTaxaCount = taxonArray.length;

zonefield.loadTaxa(taxonArray);

var _selectedTaxaIndex = taxonArray.length - 1;

while (selectedTaxaCount--)

var Taxon = zonefield._getTaxon(taxonArray[_selectedTaxaIndex])

zonefield.addTaxon(Taxon);

_selectedTaxaIndex--;

this._refreshing = false;

dialogBase.resizeToContent();

Hi Philip,

If your client component is based on Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.ControlDesign.ControlDesignerBase, inside PropertyGrid and its pageLoaded we call dialogBase.resizeToContent(); which overrides the settings that resize the window.You need to create or disable /override the pageLoaded. The PropertyGrid is not accessed directly. The property grid is wrapped inside ControlDesignerBase and send to the client component. There does not seem to be a straight way to access the load of the PropertyGrid. You will need a class that inherits from PropertyGrid, then wrap your custom PropertyGrid in a custom ControlDesignerBase class and finally use the custom ControlDesigner base component on the client. This seems to be an usability issue and the solution looks quite complex for this change
