zooming a custom control - layout custom controls in grid

I am new to .Net and have a requirements for a project that we zoom a
grid control when it's clicked. This grid will contain a yellow pages
like listing and be displayed on a form with other grids in a table
like format.

Does the grid control support zoom?

Can anyone suggest a way for me to layout the grids on the form
programtically in a HTML table like structure? - Optimally i would
query the db to find the relevant records then display a grid control
for each record and lay the controls out in a table like format. When
each control was clicked by the user it would popup a zoomed version
on the screen over the original table.

thanks in advance for any help

John,

The current grid control does not support zoom functionality. If
anything, I think that you would have to custom code this yourself.

Also, I don't know of any grids that support an HTML table like
structure. There is something like this in Avalon, I believe, but that is
so far away that I wouldn't recommend it.

Hope this helps.

When using a custom control. In order to check and see if values have changed one has to implement the IPostBackDataCollection interface. The values returned for the control seem to be simply a string with comma delimited values. For example, if I were to render two text boxes. One with the Value Terry and the Other with the Value 'Burns' I would get the following value Terry,Burns.

I am designing a web page using VS2003 ASP.NET. The page contains various DIVs (panels), one of which is in grid layout. The controls in this DIV render correctly in IE, but when using Firefox they are incorrectly positioned. VS sets the positioning of the controls to absolute, and because the DIV is to the right of another DIV Firefox (correctly, I suspect) positions the controls absolutely, which means they are too far to the left, while...

I have a compound custom control derived from UserControl. It has three controls on it -- two custom controls and a Label control. When the control is added to a from and then resized using the Designer how do I trap the resize event so I can resize the child controls? I have tried the using: protected override void OnSizeChanged(EventArgs e) But it doesn't get called when the control is resized in the Designer.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
