Make/Design Custom Controls

E

Eric Holzapfel

Hello FrontPage NewsGroup,

I would like to make a "custom" control to use on a FrontPage generated ASP
page (perhaps it could be called a DTC).

My concept seems simple: it will have two drop downs, one populated from a
table in a database, and the other populated from a date (2 dates, today and
tomorrow), and a text entry field for the time of day, and a button to
submit the data.

My asp page will have 3 of these "control", I thought rather than place a
bunch of ddwns, and text boxes on the page, I would make 1 or 2 "controls"
that would be usable else where.

Does this make sense? What tool should/can I use to do this. I wish I
could develop this page using ASP.NET, but the page needs to support an
existing all ASP web site.

Any suggestions will help.

Thank you,

eric

Check out the VBScript class statement. You can create classes with VBScript
that can be used in ASP pages. These classes are not strictly OO, but they
are semi-OO, and could be designed in such a way that you could ostensibly
create custom "controls" with scripted classes. If you're familiar with
ASP.Net, you could certainly model them in a way like ASP.Net Server
Controls. Just have a bunch of properties that can be set, and a Render
method that uses Response.Write to write the HTML from the Control to the
page.
