Hi Paul,
This change to elements.xml won't help. Similar change has to be applied to

Hi Jorge,
Found it. It can be set as a property of the file element within the module in

e.g.

Hi Paul,
The CreatechildControls method creates the controls on runtime when the web
part is rendered, not when it is provisioned.
You’re resetting the Chrome type every time you display the web part.
You can define custom settings when you are provisioning the web part as part
of a web template, or in a feature activated event receiver, I’m not sure how
would you go about defining the default chrome for a particular web part
though…. Anyone?
Cheers,
JC

Hi all,
I’m sure I’ve done something silly but I’m unable to change the chrome settings
for a custom web part via the UI.
They always revert to what I’ve defined in CreateChildControls.
protectedoverride void CreateChildControls()
{
if (!error)
{
try
{
base.CreateChildControls();
this.ChromeType = PartChromeType.TitleOnly;
Table table = new Table();
// etc...
row.Controls.Add(cell);
table.Controls.Add(row);
this.Controls.Add(table);
Is there a simple way to prevent this?
Kind regards,
Paul

RE: MOSS - Web Part chrome is locked
Hi Shahram,
That hasn’t been my experience. It’s possible that it’s an either or (by design
or otherwise) but the properties added to the webpart file seem to apply
directly to its properties in the gallery, not a page instance. In any case
I’ve only needed to add the property to the elements module and it works as I’d
hoped.
A slight variation was required.
Property Name=ChromeType Value=TitleOnly /
I’ve also found that many other advertised properties don’t work as expected or
where they’re expected. It’s very, very difficult to get the right info because
a lot of it relates to System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts as opposed to what’s
strictly allowed within a feature elements file for SharePoint.
The SharePoint schema reference lacks any detail when it comes to a parameter
set for these elements.
I’ve tried to use the IgnoreIfExists attribute for my list instance and web
part module but they’re apparently invlaid in this context. :\

Paul

RE: MOSS - Web Part chrome is locked
DocumentTemplate is an optional parameter for a ListInstance element, so
presumably if you omit it, then no document template would be assigned to the
list.
Haven't really checked this though, as I tend to create my ListInstances etc in
code, not declaratively, as it gives you far more power over the configuration
of the list, and allows you to handle conflicts (ie you can handle the case
where a list already exists with the same name/url)

Nigel

RE: MOSS - Web Part chrome is locked
Hi Nigel,
I think using feature receivers is definitely more robust but it's just
frustrating when you use the XML in a way that's supposed to be supported and
it fails to work. According to some examples I've seen you can event attach
content types to a named list instance without having to mess around in
schema.xml.
Anyway, everything seems to be working with the exception of the if exists
attributes. Might move these into feature activated/deactivated.
Regards,
Paul
