Tech Tip

Aspose.Grid Web Tips

Using your own icons instead of the default icons

The control’s default icons are located in the url path /agw_client/, and the file path is c:\program files\aspose\aspose.grid\agw_client by default. You may see some images files like submit.gif, save.gif etc. in that folder. If you want to replace these images with your own images, you should add a config section to the web.config file of your web application.

<appSettings> <add key=”aspose.grid.web.agw_client_path” value=”/agw_client/” /> </appSettings>

You may have noticed that this configuration can only affect the control images path and it can’t affect the control’s client-scripts path. For example, if you run your page with the GridWeb control and check the source file in the browser, you may find that the agw_client_path property of the grid’s DIV element still looks like “/yourApp/webform1.aspx/”. In some cases, you may need to use redefine the client-script path. To force the control use the redefined image path as the client-script path, you should add another config setting in the appSettings section:

<add key=”aspose.grid.web.force_script_path” value=”true” /> Note This config is only take effect with licensed control.
