    [CLOSED] Combo with all available icons

    Hi,

    Is it possible to simply create a combo with all available icons in the Ext.Net framework ?
    I would like to create the possiblitie that application managers can create a window with an icon they choose theirselves..
    The result must be stored into sqlserver.

    Best practice ?

    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    There are 1713 icons in the Icon enum. So, you will need to organize remote paging. Otherwise, expanding a ComboBox will take a while. You can easily check it using this sample.

    Example
    <%@ Page Language="C#" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Ext.Net" Namespace="Ext.Net" TagPrefix="ext" %>

<script runat="server">
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.ComboBox1.ToBuilder().ItemsFromEnum(typeof(Icon));
    }
</script>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head runat="server">
    <title>Ext.NET v2 Example</title>
</head>
<body>
    <ext:ResourceManager runat="server" />
    <ext:ComboBox ID="ComboBox1" runat="server" />
</body>
</html>
    If organize remote paging, you cannot use the ItemsFromEnum.

    Here is a helper method to get some bindable data from an enum.

    You can tweak it to return a data for a current page.

    Sorry for reviving an old thread, not sure if I need a new one, but is there a way to include the Icon images in the combobox as well?

    Yes, but with each of the available Icons, as in the example above. I basically am creating dynamic menus and want the user to be able to choose the icon for the menu item. So the combobox would have a picture of the icon and icon name.

    Then I would recommend to follow the example that I mentioned.
    https://examples2.ext.net/#/Form/ComboBox/IconCombo/

    You can iterate the Icon enum registering all the icons
    this.ResourceManager1.RegisterIcon(Icon.Accept);
    and putting them to a Store's DataSource
    store.DataSource = new object[]
{
    new object[] { ResourceManager.GetIconClassName(Icon.Accept), "Accept" },
    ...
};
