Step 2 of 3: Customize FlipCard

Complete the following steps to customize the behavior and appearance of the FlipCard control:

  1. Select the FlipCard smart tag to open the C1FlipCard Tasks menu and set the following:
    • In the CurrentSide drop-down, set the value to Back, so that the back panel appears when the page loads.
    • In the Theme drop-down, select midnight to change the appearance of the FlipCard control.
  2.  

  3. Right click the FlipCard to select Properties and in the Properties Window, set the following:
    • Enter 200px in the Width textbox
    • Enter 150px in the Height textbox


In Source View

Modify the  CurrentSide, Height, Width and Theme property within the <cc1:C1FlipCard> tag, to customize the animation of the Flipcard.

<cc1:C1FlipCardID="C1FlipCard1" runat="server" CurrentSide="Back" Height="150px" Width="200px" Theme="midnight">

In Code

Add the following code to the Page_Load event, to customize animation in the FlipCard  control.

To write code in C#

C1FlipCard1.CurrentSide = C1.Web.Wijmo.Controls.C1FlipCard.FlipCardSide.Back;
C1FlipCard1.Theme = "midnight";
C1FlipCard1.Height=150;
C1FlipCard1.Width = 200;

To write code in Visual Basic

C1FlipCard1.CurrentSide = C1.Web.Wijmo.Controls.C1FlipCard.FlipCardSide.Back
C1FlipCard1.Theme = "midnight"
C1FlipCard1.Height=150
