Often, it is desirable to encase a GridView within a Panel control to delimit the grids size and provide scroll bars, thus, allowing a more WinForm like UI experience. The problem I am running into is that a CalendarExtender included therein, becomes hidden if its associated textbox is close to the lower or right boarder of the panel. One could extend the size of the Panel, but that's not a very aesthetically appropriate solution. Ideally, the z-index should be configurable for the CalendarExtender control so as to be able to force visibility under any circumstances. There are several other posts having to do with a similar problem and Dropdowns. See: http://forums.asp.net/thread/1554180.aspx for more information. Alternatively, it would be great to have the ability to set the visibility persistence so as to force the CalendarExtendar to stay visible until X'ed out. This would at least allow the user to scroll down the grid to see the rest of the Calendar. A third option might be to provide the ability to drag the Control anywhere on the page. Lastly, properties should be provided to set the Controls position relative to the Browser window itself. Ideally, all of these should be included to provide a truly robust and flexible mechanism.
I completely soooo agree with you!, Unfortunatly microsoft leaves things half undone and starts working on something else...
This...until people will ditch MICROSOFT!
