MouseOver effects in Visual Studios 2008

Mar 23rd, 2009

Hi all!

I am using Visual Studio 2008 and I was wondering is there a way to get the colour of text in a menu item to change color during a mouse over. So for example, if I was cycling through a list of items, the item that was currently selected would be black, and all other items would be grey.

Thanx in advance!!!

Yes create a css class in a stylesheet for the text color you want then from the menu properties under Styles you can enter the class name in the CssClass field for DynamicHoverStyle and/or StaticHoverStyle

Yes you can do that.
Do this in your stylesheet (.css file):

 Help with Code Tags 
 css Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
.colorchange
{
color:gray;
}
.colorchange:hover
{
color:black;
}
.colorchange
{
color:gray;
}
.colorchange:hover
{
color:black;
}

In your code file whereever you are creating the menu, include the created style name(colorchange).
for example if its a link, do the following
<a class="colorchange" href="[your link]">Item1</a>
The above code will keep the color of the text(Item1) as gray normally but when you hover(do a mouse over), color will change to black.

Hope that helps.
