Our Css standard is integrated into our our assemblies and resources.
If you want to overrides the style, you would need to define into the styles properties which is available in each control.
If you only need to override some styles, you don't need to define for the other styles.
When you save the layout into .isl, it should only have your styles. The other style which have not been defined would follow our standard styles.
You can save all your styles via designer>>LayoutManager.

Hello,

What do you mean by share attributes?

If you have identical WebTab in 20 screens, you can use the same structures and styles at all the pages.
Also, our layout is not in .skin but in .isl files (C:\Program Files\Intersoft Solutions\WebUI Studio for ASP.NET\WebDesktop.NET 3.0\Layout\WebTab). You can open each of files in notepad and see what styles that we defined in each layout.

Regards,
Handy

How can I “share” attributes of similar control between different pages?

For instance I will have 20 screens that contain webtab at 90% of the time its properties are identical for all pages.

Hello,

You can customize the layout of our control by set the style/css in available properties.
E.g

WebTab. To customize WebTab layout, there are several properties that you can try to set such as FrameStyle, ContainerStyle, RoundCornerSettings, DisabledStyle, TabItemStyle and the other settings.
For more details, we have some sample about the customization. Please open our WebDesktop sample>> WebTab.

Handy

General design question

Hello friend,

I’m quite new to dot.net and intersoft components, so please be patient ;-)

I need to design several screens that contain similar elements (intersoft controls)

At first I thought I will create div id for each control I need and overrun the css files.

Then I realize there is a lot of customization to do….

How can I “share” attributes of similar control between different pages?

For instance I will have 20 screens that contain webtab at 90% of the time its properties are identical for all pages.

What is the preferred way when working with your controls: when designing webpage should I use my own layout with css design ore use control properties?

Thanks for your help.
