CollapsiblePanelExtender (demo)

An extender class which adds collapse/expand behavior to an ASP.NET Panel control. The panel that is extended can then be collapsed or expanded by the user of the page, which is handy for doing things like showing or hiding content or maximizing available space.

Properties

Name Description
AutoCollapse If true, and the panel is in its 'expanded' state, the panel will automatically collapse when the mouse pointer moves off of the panel. The default is false
AutoExpand If true, and the panel is in its 'collapsed' state, the panel will automatically expand when the mouse pointer moves into the panel. The default is false
CollapseControlID The server ID of the control to initiate the collapse of the target panel. The panel will collapse when this control fires its client side "onclick" event
Remarks: If this value is the same as the value for "ExpandControlID", the CollapsiblePanel will toggle when this control is clicked
Collapsed Signals the initial collapsed state of the control. Note this will not cause an expanded control to collapse at initialization, but rather tells the extender what the initial state of the Panel control is. The default is false
CollapsedImage Image to be displayed when the Panel is collapsed and the ImageControlID is set
CollapsedSize The size of the panel when it is in it's collapsed state. To avoid flicker when your page initializes, set the initial height (or width) of your Panel control to match this value, and set the Collapsed property to 'true'
Remarks: The default value is -1, which indicates that the CollapsiblePanel should initialize the CollapsedSize based on the initial size of the object
CollapsedText The text to display in the collapsed state. When the panel is collapsed, the internal contents (anything between the start and ending tags) of the control referenced by the TextLabelID property will be replaced with this text. This collapsed text is also used as the alternate text of the image if ImageControlID is set
ExpandControlID The server ID of the control to initiate the expansion of the target panel. The panel will opening when this control fires its client side "onclick" event
Remarks: If this value is the same as the value for "CollapseControlID", the CollapsiblePanel will toggle when this control is clicked
ExpandDirection The dimension to use for collapsing and expanding - vertical or horizontal
ExpandedImage Image to be displayed when the Panel is expanded and the ImageControlID is set
ExpandedSize The size of the panel when it is in it's opened state. To avoid flicker when your page initializes, set the initial width of your Panel control to match this value, and set the Collapsed property to 'false'
Remarks: The default value is -1, which indicates that the CollapsiblePanel should initialize the ExpandedSize based on the parent div offsetheight if aligned vertically and parentdiv offsetwidth if aligned horizonatally
ExpandedText The text to display in the expanded state. When the panel is expanded, the internal contents (anything between the start and ending tags) of the control referenced by the TextLabelID property will be replaced with this text. This expanded text is also used as the alternate text of the image if ImageControlID is set
ImageControlID The ID of an image control to display the current state of the Panel. When the collapsed state of the panel changes, the image source will be changed from the ExpandedImage to the CollapsedImage. We also use the ExpandedText and CollapsedText as the image's alternate text if they are provided
ScrollContents Determines whether the contents of the panel should be scrolled or clipped if they do not fit into the expanded size. The default is false
SuppressPostBack Determines whether the CollapsiblePanelBehavior should suppress the click operations of the controls referenced in CollapseControlID and/or ExpandControlID.
Remarks: By default, this value is false, except for anchor ("A") tags
TextLabelID The ID of a label control to display the current state of the Panel. When the collapsed state of the panel changes, the entire HTML contents (anything between the start and ending tags of the label) will be replaced with the status text
