styling the GroupName in asp:Panel

[Sridhar Chinta]

hey all i am not able to change the color of Groupname in panel control from
blue to black any suggestions?

hello

i assume you are referring to the forecolour of the GroupingText
property?

if you set the forecolour of the panel, both the groupingtext and text
are rendered the same colour

if you look at the resulting HTML, you'll see that the groupingtext is
rendered as a < legend > html tag, and the content of a group is
inside a < fieldset >

if you want a different colour for the groupingtext, do this:

1. give your panel a CSSClass name, ex Panel
2. add this style:

<style type="text/css">

..Panel legend
{
color:green;
}

</style>

cheers
