ListBox and DragPanelExtender

ListBox is rendered last so z-index has no effect.

Can a use any (html) trick to get the object attach to the DragPanelExtender (asp:panel) moving over the ListBox?

My reading of thez-index documentation makes me think it would help here - you're saying it doesn't?

no z-index fails
On IE (at least) ListBox, TextBox, and ComboBox are actual windows controls placed by the browser. Since they are separate HWNDs ordered above the browsers rendering surface HWND< they can't be z-ordered under other elements, unfortuntately.
I am running into this right now. The DragPanelExtender is pretty much useless unless you don't have any controls with Hwnds on your page (which is very rare for me.) Granted I could leave it, but it does not look professional at all.

The frustrating thing is that the PopupControlExtender DOES get layered above all other controls. So I think it is an opportunity for the Atlas team to change the DragPanelExtender to have whatever it is the PopupControlExtender has that allows it to be on top.

If I come up with a solution, I will post it. I think there should be a way around this if the PopupControlExtender is able to show HTML content on top of an asp:DropDownList.

can i use css adapters to make z-index to work for DropDownList ...

I found another page have some hints to doing so, I think it should also implement to Modal Popup

ListView Chunky Refresh -- Bug or Feature?

Currently the ListView re-renders itself in chunks of 5 items. Meaning that if you had a ten items in your list the control would be rendered twice: once after 5 items and again after 10. This is hard-coded in Atlas.js on line 10271. (see code below.)

Right now I am using the ListView to generate an html table and the refresh is rather clunky and unattractive. I would rather have the entire table refreshed in one go. Does anyone have any suggestions?

// Atlas.js:10271
// note the hardcoded "5"
var lastElementToRender = Math.min(itemLength, _currentIndex + 5);
for (; _currentIndex < lastElementToRender; _currentIndex++) {
var item = _data.getItem(_currentIndex);
// items added to DOM, then rendered
}

hello.

i've noticed that too. open a request and ask for a property which let's you influence the number of items that are to be generated,,,
