Question

I am using the example on the AJAX website for the DropDownExtender. I’m looking to make the target control (the label) have the DropDown image appear always, instead of just when I hover over it.

Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

This can be done using the following script tag:

 <script>     function pageLoad()     {         $find('TextBox1_DropDownExtender')._dropWrapperHoverBehavior_onhover();         $find('TextBox1_DropDownExtender').unhover = VisibleMe;     }        function VisibleMe()     {         $find('TextBox1_DropDownExtender')._dropWrapperHoverBehavior_onhover();     } </script> 

I found this and some other tips at this dot net curry example.

It works but I’d also consider writing a new control based on the drop down extender exposing a property to set the behaviour you want on or off.

Writing a new AJAX control isn’t too hard, more fiddly than anything.
