Set background color for group in web

created 8 years ago

Hello
Im trying to color layout group in web and found this article:
https://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/Question/Details/B209790/conditional-appearance-backcolor-not-working-as-expected-for-layoutgroups-and-tabbedgroups
But it doesn't works, because Controls always 0 in all groups. I also tried several solutions but also unsuccessfully and have no idea how could I paint a group. How could I paint my control group in layout?

I have reproduced it at main demo and attached controller for you.

Hello Andrey,

If you are using the New Web UI, you can easily accomplish this task without coding using the CustomCSSClassName model property. Add a style with the required settings to the Default.aspx page, e.g.:

CSS
.YellowGroup  
{  
    background-color: yellow;  
}

Then, assign the name of this style (YellowGroup) to the CustomCSSClassName property of the required Layout Group in the Model Editor. Refer to the How to: Customize ASP.NET Layout Elements Using Custom CSS Classes topic for additional information.

Alternatively, subscribe to the template container's Init or Load event to get its controls. I have updated the example from the Conditional Appearance BackColor not working as expected for LayoutGroups and TabbedGroups ticket to demonstrate this solution.
