CSS

The visual appearance of BUI controls is defined using CSS (cascading style sheets) rules. Easily change the default colors, border, and other settings by customizing these rules, all without changing any application code. See CSS API for a high-level overview of BUI CSS.

In BBj 13.0 and higher, the default BUI BBjListEdit is implemented as a custom control, to allow for CSS styling that isn't possible with native browser select elements. The native browser select elements provide a better user experience on mobile phone and tablet browsers; this option can be set to TRUE to specify that style.

The native listedit is really a hybrid -- it combines a text box with a native browser select element. It defines the following style names:

.BBjListEdit.bbj-native (the top level control)

.BBjListEdit-text (the text input area, taking up most of the width of the control)

.BBjListEdit-list(the list portion, taking up just enough space to the right of the control to show a dropdown arrow)

The custom listbutton defines the following style names:

.BBjListEdit (the top level control)

.BBjListEdit-text (the text input area, taking up most of the width of the control)

.BBjListEdit-button(the button on the right edge of the control, showing a dropdown arrow)

.BBjListEdit-imageWrapper(the right side of the button, which contains the dropdown arrow)

.BBjListEdit-image(the dropdown arrow image)

.BBjListEdit-listPanel (the dropdown container for the list)

.BBjListEdit-listBox(the dropdown list)

.BBjListEdit-item(an individual item in the dropdown list)

.BBjListEdit-item.bbj-selected (the selected item)

.BBjListEdit.bbj-disabled(the control is disabled)

.BBjListEdit.bbj-focused(the control is focused)

.BBjListEdit.bbj-readonly (the control is readonly)

This section uses the list sample from the BBj BUI Showcase (code, demo).

With the default styles, the custom BBjListButton looks like this:

With the styles shown below, it looks like this:

 

.BBjListButton, .BBjListButton-button, .BBjListEdit-button

{

  color: white !important;

  box-shadow: 2px 2px 5px hsla(0,0%,0%,.7);

  text-shadow: 0px 0px 1px hsla(0,0%,0%,.8);

  border-radius: 5px;

  background: navy !important;

  background-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(160% 100% at 50% 0% ,hsla(0,0%,100%,.3) 50%,hsla(0,0%,100%,0) 52%) !important;

  background-image: radial-gradient(160% 100% at 50% 0% ,hsla(0,0%,100%,.3) 50%,hsla(0,0%,100%,0) 52%) !important;

  overflow: hidden;

}

.BBjListEdit

{

  border-radius: 5px;

}

.BBjListEdit-button

{

  border-width: 0px;

}

.BBjListButton-image, .BBjListEdit-image

{

  border-top-color: white;

}

.BBjListButton-listBox, .BBjListEdit-listBox

{

  overflow-x: hidden !important;

  box-shadow: 2px 2px 5px hsla(0,0%,0%,.7);
