Hi,
I'm using EO 9.0 with VS2010 RC

I set absolute positioning for the TabStrip.
In the VS Designer the TabStrip stays on postion 0/0 - it is not shown at the positon it has in its HTML Tag and can not be selected with the mouse.

When I run the WebApp the TabStrip is rendered correctly.

How can I get it correctly displayed in design view.

Sample Source:
<div style="z-index: 1; left: 138px; top: 750px; position: absolute; height: 94px; width: 526px; background-color: #CCFFFF;">
<eo:TabStrip ID="TabStrip1" runat="server" ControlSkinID="None"
DesignOptions-BackColor="239, 235, 222"
style="z-index: 1; left: 50px; top: 40px; position: absolute; ">


many thanks and kind Regards
Uwe

Hi,

We will look into it but I am not optimistic about whether there is much we can do on this. VS supposes to honor whatever position settings at design view.

Thanks!

Hi,
would you please try to help me with the 'positioning' problem - we'd like to migrate a large project from vs2003/IE Webcontrol's to EO controls + vs2010.
The problem still exists under VS2010 final build.

All MS controls (even a small "self made" ServerControl (Inherits WebControl) ) is displayed properly at absolute positions in VS2010 designer - but none of the EO Controls - they are always displayed in flow order.
Your help would be highly appreciated.

Sample html:

<%@ Register assembly="EO.Web" namespace="EO.Web" tagprefix="eo" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div style="height: 411px; z-index: 1; left: 10px; top: 15px; position: absolute; width: 1202px">

<div style="height: 255px">
<aspSample:WelcomeLabel Text="Hello, even the sample Servercontrol shows up at absolute position in VS designer "
runat="server" BackColor="Wheat" ForeColor="SaddleBrown"
style="z-index: 1; left: 299px; top: 89px; position: absolute" />

<asp:ListBox ID="ListBox1" runat="server"
style="z-index: 1; left: 302px; top: 145px; position: absolute; height: 105px; width: 176px">
</asp:ListBox>

<eo:TabStrip ID="TabStrip1" runat="server" ControlSkinID="Simple_Gray"
style="z-index: 1; left: 50px; top: 100px; position: absolute; height: 23px; width: 360px"
Width="350px">
<TopGroup>
<Items>
<eo:TabItem Text-Html="TabStrip not at absolute position in VS Designer ">
</eo:TabItem>
<eo:TabItem Text-Html="New Tab Item">
</eo:TabItem>
</Items>
</TopGroup>
</eo:TabStrip>

<br />
<br />

</div>

</div>


</form>
</body>
</html>

Hi,

We are still working on this issue. In the mean time, you can place the control inside an absolute positioned div and then place the control inside the div to absolute position the control.

Thanks!
