Thread: Customizing the look of Search

Can anyone identify how to customize the look of the search control? I'm currently using VB and saw one example done in C# where a new version of the control had to be created, etc..

Thanks.

If you mean to customize the appearance of the search box and button, that can all be done via CSS.

The search was moved to a control in v9 I believe. I've not located where the styling of the control was exposed for easily modifying the look via css.

I saw someone actually created a new version of the control using C# and then added modified it so it could be styled.

To me that seem counter the idea of having it in a control, as we should be able to change cosmetic properties of the control without having to create a whole new version of the control.

I'm really just trying to make sense of this and see what approach folks are taking before acting hastily.

Thanks,
