Multilookup with VB.Net project

Title:

BI{code} ?

I have been trying to implement a Multilookup control within a VB project, and problems are occurring because it needs a Search function with a search variable name, as well as a Selected function with a selected variable name, which VB does not support. I can get it to work with modifying some "search" and "selected" strings in the AwesomeMvc.js, but I would prefer not to do this in case of updates. Is there another way I can change either of these items?

  MultiLookup has .SearchUrl .SelectedUrl and .GetItemsUrl extensions which you can use instead of specifying the controller (this is what the VB.net demo is using), you could also create a custom extension that would set these values, something like: public static MultiLookup<T> SetController<T>(this MultiLookup<T> multi, string controller){ h.GetItemsUrl(multi.Awe.Url.Action("MyGetItemsAction", controller)); h.SelectedUrl(multi.Awe.Url.Action("a2", controller)); h.SearchUrl(multi.Awe.Url.Action("a3", controller)); return this; } you can download the VB.net demo here: http://aspnetawesome.com/Download/VBnetDemo examples of custom helper extensions you can see in AwesomeModExtensions.cs in the main demo

  • That got it working, but I have complaints from the boss about the style, saying that you should be able to move the items from left to right, rather than from top to bottom. Is this possible?

  • There's no easy|out of the box way of doing this, you would have to use custom search form and in that view put your custom js that will change the layout, and also change the icons so instead of up and down arrow you would have left and right
