I've deployed application page to the site collection and it is used in one modal dialog. Everything works fine, except CSS seems little bit silly.
I'm quite sure CSS file is loaded and it even changes site to some extend. However, for the most part I can't do anything.
In the above image, there are two CSS rules which should be applied
- background color black on body
- removed border from buttons
CSS itself looks like
body
{
background-color:black;
}
input[type=button] {
border:none;
}
while .aspx page
<asp:Content ID="PageHead" ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead" runat="server">
<link id="css01" href="GenerateReport.css" runat="server" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Main" ContentPlaceHolderID="PlaceHolderMain" runat="server">
(...)
<asp:Button ID="ButtonSendEmail" runat="server" Text="Send Email" />
<asp:Button ID="ButtonClose" runat="server" Text="Close" /><br />
</asp:Content>
Above is just an example - it literally doesn't work with anything outside body selector. I tried to include the CSS in the .aspx itself but with no help.
EDIT:
The application page is used to present information which is fetched from several lists and it is (page) presented to end-user in Modal Dialog.
I have event receiver which updates targeted list with the following XML definitions (via C# class)
customButton.Location = "CommandUI.Ribbon.ListView";
customButton.Title = "Test Custom Button";
customButton.Sequence = 5;
customButton.Rights = SPBasePermissions.EditListItems;
customButton.CommandUIExtension = @"<CommandUIExtension>
<CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIDefinition Location=""Ribbon.ListItem.Actions.Controls._children"">
<Button
Id=""Ribbon.ListItem.Actions.Controls.ShowHelloWorldButton""
Alt=""Programmatically Added Button""
Sequence=""5""
Command=""GenerateCandiateReportFunction""
Image32by32=""https://mysite/SiteAssets/Report32.png""
Image16by16=""https:/mysite/SiteAssets/Report32.png""
LabelText=""Generate Report""
TemplateAlias=""o1"" />
</CommandUIDefinition>
</CommandUIDefinitions>
<CommandUIHandlers>
<CommandUIHandler
Command=""GenerateReportFunction""
CommandAction=""javascript:
var ctx = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var item = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems(ctx);
var options = SP.UI.$create_DialogOptions();
options.width = 800;options.height = 900;
options.resizable = 1;options.scroll = 1;
options.url = '{SiteUrl}/_layouts/GenerateReport.aspx?itemId=' + item[0].id;
SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options);""
EnabledScript=""javascript:SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems().length == 1;""
/>
</CommandUIHandlers>
</CommandUIExtension>";
customButton.Update();
The entry point of the application page looks like this (well, in reality Page_Loads calls 3 methods, but for simplicity sake, I just slapped code from methods back to the caller method and GetItems just gets the item back and fills Labels with values from item)
public partial class GenerateReport : LayoutsPageBase
{
SPContext spContext = null;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LblNotifictions.Text = string.Empty;
ButtonClose.Click += new EventHandler(this.CloseModelDialog);
ButtonSendEmail.Click += new EventHandler(this.SendMail);
if (Request.QueryString["itemId"] != null)
{
string itemId = Request.QueryString["itemId"];
this.Title = "Generate Report #" + itemId;
spContext = SPContext.Current;
if (spContext != null)
{
GetItem(itemId);
}
}
}
}
