controle DropDownList com s para asp.net (webforms)?

Question

Alguém pode recomendar um controle dropdownlist para asp.net (3,5), que pode render grupos de opções? Graças

Answer 1

Eu usei o controle padrão no passado, e apenas acrescentou uma simples ControlAdapter para ele que iria substituir o comportamento padrão para que ele poderia tornar s em determinados lugares. Isso funciona muito bem, mesmo se você tem os controles que não precisam o comportamento especial, porque o recurso adicional não ficar no caminho.

Note que este foi para um propósito específico e escrito em .Net 2.0, por isso não pode servi-lo bem, mas deve, pelo menos, dar-lhe um ponto de partida. Além disso, você tem que ligá-lo usando um .browserfile em seu projeto (ver o final do post para um exemplo).

Answer 2

Eu usei JQuery para realizar esta tarefa. I primeiro adicionado um atributo novo para cada ListItem do back-end e, em seguida, usou esse atributo no método wrapAll() JQuery para criar grupos ...

C #:

foreach (ListItem item in ((DropDownList)sender).Items)
{
    if (System.Int32.Parse(item.Value) < 5)
        item.Attributes.Add("classification", "LessThanFive");
    else
        item.Attributes.Add("classification", "GreaterThanFive");
} 

JQuery:

$(document).ready(function() {
    //Create groups for dropdown list
    $("select.listsmall option[@classification='LessThanFive']")
        .wrapAll("<optgroup label='Less than five'>");
    $("select.listsmall option[@classification='GreaterThanFive']")
        .wrapAll("<optgroup label='Greater than five'>"); 
});

O código acima torna a marca de fim para o optgroup antes de qualquer uma das opções, portanto, as opções não se recuado como deveriam, além da marcação não representar adequadamente o agrupamento. Aqui está a minha versão ligeiramente modificada do código do Tom:

    public class ExtendedDropDownList : System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList
{
    public const string OptionGroupTag = "optgroup";
    private const string OptionTag = "option";
    protected override void RenderContents(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
        ListItemCollection items = this.Items;
        int count = items.Count;
        string tag;
        string optgroupLabel;
        if (count > 0)
        {
            bool flag = false;
            string prevOptGroup = null;
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
            {
                tag = OptionTag;
                optgroupLabel = null;
                ListItem item = items[i];
                if (item.Enabled)
                {
                    if (item.Attributes != null && item.Attributes.Count > 0 && item.Attributes[OptionGroupTag] != null)
                    {
                        optgroupLabel = item.Attributes[OptionGroupTag];

                        if (prevOptGroup != optgroupLabel)
                        {
                            if (prevOptGroup != null)
                            {
                                writer.WriteEndTag(OptionGroupTag);
                            }

                            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(optgroupLabel))

Use-o assim:

            ListItem item1 = new ListItem("option1");
        item1.Attributes.Add("optgroup", "CatA");
        ListItem item2 = new ListItem("option2");
        item2.Attributes.Add("optgroup", "CatA");
        ListItem item3 = new ListItem("option3");
        item3.Attributes.Add("optgroup", "CatB");
        ListItem item4 = new ListItem("option4");
        item4.Attributes.Add("optgroup", "CatB");
        ListItem item5 = new ListItem("NoOptGroup");

        ddlTest.Items.Add(item1);
        ddlTest.Items.Add(item2);
        ddlTest.Items.Add(item3);
        ddlTest.Items.Add(item4);
        ddlTest.Items.Add(item5);

e aqui está a marcação gerada (recuado para facilidade de visualização):

Answer 6

Eu uso o refletor para ver porque não é suportado. Não é por isso. No método render da ListControl nenhuma condição está lá para criar o optgroup.

protected internal override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
        ListItemCollection items = this.Items;
        int count = items.Count;
        if (count > 0)
        {
            bool flag = false;
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
            {
                ListItem item = items[i];
                if (item.Enabled)
                {
                    writer.WriteBeginTag("option");
                    if (item.Selected)
                    {
                        if (flag)
                        {
                            this.VerifyMultiSelect();
                        }
                        flag = true;
                        writer.WriteAttribute("selected", "selected");
                    }
                    writer.WriteAttribute("value", item.Value, true);
                    if (item.HasAttributes)
                    {
                        item.Attributes.Render(writer);
                    }
                    if (this.Page != null)
                    {
                        this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation(this.UniqueID, item.Value);
                    }
                    writer.Write('>');
                    HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(item.Text, writer);
                    writer.WriteEndTag("option");
                    writer.WriteLine();
                }
            }
        }
    }

Então eu criar meu próprio suspensa Controle com uma substituição dos RenderContents método. Não é o meu controle. Está funcionando bem. I usar exatamente o mesmo código de Microsoft, basta adicionar um pouco de condição para listItem suporte tendo atributo optgroup para criar um optgroup e não uma opção.

Dê-me algum feed back

public class DropDownListWithOptionGroup : DropDownList
  {
    public const string OptionGroupTag = "optgroup";
    private const string OptionTag = "option";
    protected override void RenderContents(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
      ListItemCollection items = this.Items;
      int count = items.Count;     
      string tag;
      string optgroupLabel;
      if (count > 0)
      {
        bool flag = false;
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
        {
          tag = OptionTag;
          optgroupLabel = null;
          ListItem item = items[i];
          if (item.Enabled)
          {
            if (item.Attributes != null && item.Attributes.Count > 0 && item.Attributes[OptionGroupTag] != null)
            {
              tag = OptionGroupTag;
              optgroupLabel = item.Attributes[OptionGroupTag];
            }           
            writer.WriteBeginTag(tag);
            // NOTE(cboivin): Is optionGroup
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(optgroupLabel))
            {
              writer.WriteAttribute("label", optgroupLabel);
            }
            else
            {
              if (item.Selected)
              {
                if (flag)
                {
                  this.VerifyMultiSelect();
                }
                flag = true;
                writer.WriteAttribute("selected", "selected");
              }
              writer.WriteAttribute("value", item.Value, true);
              if (item.Attributes != null && item.Attributes.Count > 0)
              {
                item.Attributes.Render(writer);
              }
              if (this.Page != null)
              {
                this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation(this.UniqueID, item.Value);
              }
            }
            writer.Write('>');
            HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(item.Text, writer);
            writer.WriteEndTag(tag);
            writer.WriteLine();
          }
        }
      }

    }
  }

Answer 8

Uma abordagem mais genérica a solução baseada em jQuery de Irfan:

backend

private void _addSelectItem(DropDownList list, string title, string value, string group = null) {
   ListItem item = new ListItem(title, value);
   if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(group))
   {
       item.Attributes["data-category"] = group;
   }
   list.Items.Add(item);
}

...
_addSelectItem(dropDown, "Option 1", "1");
_addSelectItem(dropDown, "Option 2", "2", "Category");
_addSelectItem(dropDown, "Option 3", "3", "Category");
...

cliente

var groups = {};
$("select option[data-category]").each(function () {
     groups[$.trim($(this).attr("data-category"))] = true;
});
$.each(groups, function (c) {
     $("select option[data-category='"+c+"']").wrapAll('<optgroup label="' + c + '">');
});

Answer 9

Eu fiz isso usando um repetidor exterior para o seleto e optgroups e um repetidor interno para os itens desse grupo:

<asp:Repeater ID="outerRepeater" runat="server">
    <HeaderTemplate>
        <select id="<%= outerRepeater.ClientID %>">
    </HeaderTemplate>
    <ItemTemplate>
            <optgroup label="<%# Eval("GroupText") %>">
                <asp:Repeater runat="server" DataSource='<%# Eval("Items") %>'>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <option value="<%# Eval("Value") %>"><%# Eval("Text") %></option>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:Repeater>
            </optgroup>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <FooterTemplate>
        </select>
    </FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

A fonte de dados para outerRepeater é um simples agrupamento da seguinte forma:

var data = (from o in thingsToDisplay
            group oby GetAlphaGrouping(o.Name) into g
            orderby g.Key
            select new
            {
                Alpha = g.Key,
                Items = g
            });

E para obter o caractere alfabético agrupamento:

private string GetAlphaGrouping(string value)
{
    string firstChar = value.Substring(0, 1).ToUpper();
    int unused;

    if (int.TryParse(firstChar, out unused))
        return "#";

    return firstChar.ToUpper();
}

Não é uma solução perfeita, mas ele funciona. O correta solução seria não WebForms uso há mais tempo, mas nós MVC vez. :)

Answer 10

    // How to use:
    // 1. Create items in a select element or asp:DropDownList control
    // 2. Set value of an option or ListItem to "_group_", those will be converted to optgroups
    // 3. On page onload call createOptGroups(domElement), for example like this:
    //    - var lst = document.getElementById('lst');
    //    - createOptGroups(lst, "_group_");
    // 4. You can change groupMarkerValue to anything, I used "_group_"
    function createOptGroups(lst, groupMarkerValue) {
        // Get an array containing the options
        var childNodes = [];
        for (var i = 0; i < lst.options.length; i++)
            childNodes.push(lst.options[i]);

        // Get the selected element so we can preserve selection
        var selectedIndex = lst.selectedIndex;
        var selectedChild = childNodes[selectedIndex];
        var selectedValue = selectedChild.value;

        // Remove all elements
        while (lst.hasChildNodes())
            lst.removeChild(lst.childNodes[0]);

        // Go through the array of options and convert some into groups
        var group = null;
        for (var i = 0; i < childNodes.length; i++) {
            var node = childNodes[i];
            if (node.value == groupMarkerValue) {
                group = document.createElement("optgroup");
                group.label = node.text;
                group.value = groupMarkerValue;
                lst.appendChild(group);
                continue;
            }

            // Add to group or directly under list
            (group == null ? lst : group).appendChild(node);
        }

        // Preserve selected, no support for multi-selection here, sorry
        selectedChild.selected = true;
    }

Como as respostas acima que a sobrecarga do método RenderContents fazer o trabalho. Você também tem que lembrar-se de alterar o estado de visualização. Eu vim em um problema ao usar o viewstate não alterado em UpdatePanels. Isto tem peças retiradas do afiada Projeto Pieces .
