Hi

I have developed a composite control containing an ImageButton. The user can
only press the ImageButton at some point. I would like to make the cursor of
the ImageButton normal all the time the ImageButton is not possible to press.
How do I do that?

Thanks in advance

Hi Julia,

If you set the image button's enabled property to false, the cursor should
stay at the default.

In a user control, you have to get a reference to the image button. Here's
some sample code (ASP.NET 2.0) in case it helps.

Let us know how you make out?

' --imgbtn.ascx--

<%@ control classname="usrimgbtn" language="VB" %>

<asp:imagebutton id="ImageButton1" runat="server"
imageurl="http://www.gc.ca/images/flag.gif" /><br />
<br />
<asp:label id="lblEnabled" runat="server"></asp:label>

'-- imgbtncursor.aspx--
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>

<%@ register src="imgbtn.ascx" tagname="imgbtn" tagprefix="uc1" %>

        Dim imgbtn As ImageButton
        Dim lbl As Label
        uc = Page.FindControl("Imgbtn1")
        If Not IsNothing(uc) Then
            imgbtn = uc.FindControl("ImageButton1")
            lbl = uc.FindControl("lblEnabled")
            imgbtn.Enabled = Not imgbtn.Enabled
            lbl.Text = imgbtn.Enabled.ToString
            btnEnableDisable.Text = _
            IIf(imgbtn.Enabled, "Disable", "Enable")
        End If

Hi

It did not work to just set the ImageButton's enable property to false. I
also write all my code in C# so I dont write any asp.net.

But I have solved my problem by using StyleSheet like this:

..ImageButtonEnable
{
    padding-left:5px;
    padding-right:5px;
    padding-top:5px;
}
..ImageButtonDisable
{
    padding-left:5px;
    padding-right:5px;
    padding-top:5px;
    cursor:default;
}

I dont know if it the best way to do but it works ;)

Thanks
Julia
