Hi MC,
As for the design-time output of webcontrol, it can be controlled by a
custom controldesigner. And for your scenario, you can override the
"GetDesignTimeHtml" method of the control designer and always return html
<textarea> markup. Here is a simple test control demonstrate this:
===================================
namespace WebControlLib
{
[DefaultProperty("Text")]
[ToolboxData("<{0}:MyTextBox runat=server></{0}:MyTextBox>")]
[Designer(typeof(MyTextBoxDesigner))]
public class MyTextBox : TextBox
{
[Obsolete("not used...", true)]
public new TextBoxMode TextMode
{
get
{
return TextBoxMode.MultiLine;
}
}
}
public class MyTextBoxDesigner : ControlDesigner
{
private MyTextBox _tb = null;
public override void Initialize(IComponent component)
{
_tb = (MyTextBox)component;
base.Initialize(component);
}
public override string GetDesignTimeHtml()
{
string temp= "<textarea>{0}</textarea>";
return string.Format(temp, _tb.Text);
}
}
}
==================================
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Steven Cheng
