retractable panel

[met0555]

Hi,

Few years ago, i used an retractable panel, but i don't remember which control i used.
by retractable panel i mean, a panel where there is control box at the top, just like a windows application where i can minimize and maximize the panel.
Can you please tell me where i can find this control.

Thanks

never seen something like this in ASP.NET Controls

Maybe it's another control, let's say a button control, that is controlling this panel (minimize/maximize).

you mean something like CollapsiblePanel for AJAX
i never seen ASP.net control do such a thing

you mean something like CollapsiblePanel for AJAX

Yeah, something like that... The button acts in toggle. First click, show the panel. Second click, hide the panel.

Are your referring to this:

Uhm no, I'm thinking of creating my own scripts using ScriptManager and UpdatePanel, but hey, nice links! Adding it to my very long "to-read" list.

This is one of those situations of, does it make sense to re-invent the wheel?

From what you have described, I would have said that the accordion control would be a good fit, especially if you are already using AJAX.

Yes, I know what you mean. It's just that, I didn't know that AJAX Controls even existed in the first place

[gep13]

Ah, I see.

There are lot's of controls in the Toolkit, that serve a lot of purposes, so you might want to take a look through them and see which ones you can make use of.

Hi,

I was looking at the folllowing controls,

http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlT...Accordion.aspx
and
http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontrolt...iblePanel.aspx

What i want to do is, depending on the dropdownlist selection i want to hide an area and show the other ... if possible with no postback action.
I would like to know if it's possible to do that with the following AJAX controls.

thx
