Notification Package

The Notification Package includes controls that notify the user about events with regard to a process. These controls and their features are discussed below:

• The Window Control lets you create dialog elements that can be dragged and resized. These elements can be invoked dynamically from the client-side.

• The Window Control comes with full design-time support. You can populate it with content just as in panels.

• It has got a wide range of Pre-defined styles to customize the appearance instantly.

• Customize the appearance with CSS styles.

• The Window can be dragged to any location on the screen by the user. Window Control has different drag styles and can also be used to restrict dragging horizontally or vertically.

• The Window can be resized by the user and has different resizing styles. Resizing can also be restricted in the horizontal or vertical directions.

• Window Control supports built-in dialog boxes like Confirm, Warning and Prompt. These dialog boxes can be invoked through Click events. Callback functions are also called when the user closes the window.

• The Window Control Name can be specified as a "Target" in an anchor tag. Users can specify the ID of the Window control as the target and the specified window content will load on the page.

• Client-side events are fired before showing the content. This lets you customize the contents before display. Events are also shown after the window is closed to let you retrieve user specified values from the window.

List of client-side events:

• ClientSideOnBeforeClose

• ClientSideOnBeforeOpen

• ClientSideOnCloseUp

• ClientSideOnDragStart

• It can be shown in Splash screen mode (without the header and status bar).

• The window can be customized for any locale.

A Pop-up Control Container is a Panel derived control that allows users to populate it with child-controls and then appear on the client-browser upon some user action. The pop-up window will disappear when the user clicks elsewhere on the page.

Display pop-up windows at any custom XY location on the plane.

Align a pop-up window with a parent-control displaying it at different locations.

Client-side events are raised before the pop-up window appears and also after the pop-up window is closed.

List of client-side events:

• OnBeforePopup
• OnClosePopup
• OnPopup

Several Pre-defined Styles let you setup professional-looking pop-up windows instantly.

The Progress Bar control uses AJAX to query and display the progress of an operation. Trigger a long operation using callbacks, save the progress information in some session value and then use this information to provide progress updates in the ProgressBar's AJAX server-side events.

• Progress Value

This control displays the progress activity based on the percentage of the progress value. For example, When the Progress Percentage value is set to '10' the progress activity gets updated for every 10% of the process progression.

• Waiting State

The progress bar can also be made to operate in *Waiting State*. This is useful when the actual progress percentage of a long operation is not known.

• Pre-defined Style

Pre-defined styles can be applied to the Progress Bar using the Auto Format options available for the same.

The UploadBox and UploadProgress controls can be used together to provide file upload functionalities with feedback. The feedback text is also customizable.

Upload Box

Upload Box transfers the files to the target location from the local machine. The control includes Browse and Upload buttons to enable users to specify the file to be uploaded and initiate the upload.

Multiple File Upload

Multiple files can be uploaded using multiple Upload Box controls.

Filters

Filters can be applied for the types of files that can be uploaded. The limits for the allowed file-size can also be defined. Transfer of files that do not come under these limits would fail.

Target Location

The 'target location' must be specified to upload the folder on the server. If you fail to provide the target location the files will be automatically uploaded to the *App folder for which, proper write access permission must be provided.

Upload Options

UploadBox automatically handles filename collision based on properties specified. UploadBox supports saving the uploaded file content to a stream or disk.

Upload Progress

The Upload Progress control provides status information during the upload process. Upload Progress can be displayed by default within a page or in a pop-up window. When shown in a pop-up window, it can be specified to close automatically upon completion of file upload.

Styles

CSS Styles can be applied to enhance the appearance of the Upload Box and Upload Progress controls.

The Waiting dialog box notifies the users of the state of the initiated process. This control can be used flexibly, either before a server-side callback or before a long client-side operation. This also enables you to hide forms from user actions while a process is being executed.

• Location

The control can be displayed over the entire screen or over a specific parent-control.

• Text Formatting

Text can be displayed along with the Waiting Dialog Box control. This text can be aligned to the center, left or right, and justifed with respect to the control.

• Close Dialog Box

The control can be made to disappear automatically after a specific time or you can close it manually when a process is completed.

• Client-side Event

The behavior of the dialog box can be customized using the options provided by the dialog box API and client-side events.

• Pre-defined Style

Pre-defined styles can be applied to the Waiting dialog box using the Auto Format options available for the same. The different pre-defined styles use different animated icons to illustrate the waiting state.

The Rotator control lets you create dynamic news scrollers, slide-shows, feature highlights and stock tickers.

Create templates defining the slides and bind the Rotator to any Datasource.
