Override Css Class

[shapper]

Hello,

I have two custom controls Parent and Child, both inherit from
Composite Control. Child controls are added to parent.

Parent has a property named ChildControlCssClass.

I want ChildControlCssClass to be applied to all Child controls added
to Parent.

However, if I define the CssClass of a Child control then this would
be the one applied and not the ChildControlCssClass defined in its
parent.

What is the right way to do this?

Thanks,

Miguel

Hi Miguel

to Parent.

parent.

What is the right way to do this?

A way would be to override the .Add method of ControlCollection.
But i would prefer to iterate in a time where all child controls added,
througt this collection, try cast to the base class (WebControl) and
set the property manually.

This is in my case, the better way.
