We would like to introduce new controls into the toolkit in a democratic fashion. If you query for all open(not closed) wishlist items under issue tracker you should see the new requests. Please vote for controls you would like to see in the toolkit. You can also conduct forum discussions on controls that are being tracked here and new controls you would like to see check if something that already exists solves the problem at http://forums.asp.net/1022/ShowForum.aspx.

Here is our wishlist of controls\new features in no particular order:
(Note: this may not be an exhaustive list and there may be more controls in the issue tracker)

  • ImageMapExtender: Extender to an ImageMap that shows a custom hover-menu when mousing over hotspots
  • ScrollPositionExtender: Extender to panels\textbox controls with scrollbars that remembers scrollbar positions across postbacks
  • CollapsibleSplitterPanel: Collapsible panel with resize support on the panels
  • Check all\none for grid: An extender for a check box that can check/uncheck all the check boxes in a grid.
  • Visual Studio like pinnable sliders: Sliders which slide in and out of view, but can be pinned so they stay in place. On pinning, a event can be sent to save the pin-state at the server.
  • SaveStateExtender: Extender that prompts the user to save changes made to a control(s) when they attempt to navigate elsewhere without saving.


We have in the works the following controls which may or may not be integrated into the toolkit.
  • ListSearch extender control for listboxes and dropdowns
  • ContextMenu: Relevant menu for controls available on right clicking
  • WYSIWYG editor
  • BalloonPopup Extender
  • AnimatedSiteMapMenu control

How about some industrial strength drag/drop functionality with equally as strong documentation?

proteo5 Jan 17 2007 at 8:06 PM 
A lot a time when I am filling a form, I need to verify in the database if the information already exist, like when I am creating a new user I need to verify if it exist to drop a validation error. It will be great to have a control to validate this only providing it a web service or some thing like that instead of having to manage this at code level.

how about a autocomplete-extender for a dropdownlist, e.g. combobox control
works just like the autocomplete-textbox, but has a text/value pair

avbers Jan 17 2007 at 8:23 PM 
dropdownlists with fixed width, but when options are bigger than the with, the box expands
(just like firefox's default Select-list behaviour)

avbers Jan 17 2007 at 8:24 PM 
oh.. autocomplete-extender for dropdownlist, which can also be cascading :P

avbers Jan 17 2007 at 8:25 PM 
cool image-zoom functionality (zoom in, zoom out, preview area)

avbers Jan 17 2007 at 8:28 PM 
timespan, datespan control (ie date-range from 1st januari 2007 till 3 march 2007)
outlook-like calendar control

avbers Jan 17 2007 at 8:29 PM 
pinnable-sliders (like visual studio has..)

avbers Jan 17 2007 at 8:30 PM 
HTML-tooltip extender which uses the ordinary tooltip tag

kirtid Jan 18 2007 at 7:32 PM 
If you have specific requirements for a control or think a new control should be added please open a work item to track it under the Issue Tracker tab with a brief description of what you think it should do. Depending on the number of votes it receives and our resource constraints we will add it to this wishlist.

I've built a Check all\none extender. See www.codeplex.com/AjaxControls

edstaffin Jan 26 2007 at 6:55 PM 
It sure would be nice to have a SrcUrl property on the modaldialogextender. I have several dialogs on a page and having to jam all the ui and codebehind for everything on one page is messy. It would be nice to split off the ui and codebehind for a dialog into separate aspx pages.

aboreham Jan 26 2007 at 10:27 PM 
What about a control that promts the user if they made a change without saving? e.g. they change some text in a textbox or dropdown and then try to close the window or nagivate to another page without clicking the save button.

william Jan 29 2007 at 4:44 AM 
A dual listbox control which allows users to move items from one box to the other and vice versa.

avbers Jan 29 2007 at 10:11 AM 
isn't the last control already in the toolkit? reorderlist I think?

CTGuy67 Jan 29 2007 at 6:29 PM 
How about a Multicolumn combobox

jjre1 Jan 31 2007 at 2:32 PM 
How about a set of input buttons to avoid double submit on forms?

unrusodecaracas Feb 7 2007 at 5:58 AM 
I would like to see the SlideShow Extender :D

kiro45 Feb 7 2007 at 8:02 PM 
I would like to see an Editor wysiwyg;
a kind of fckeditor, but in ajax. What think it?
In this way resolve finally the problem of the editor wysiwyg.

Norsten Feb 9 2007 at 9:54 AM 
A combobox (just like the one in winforms) -either choose from the dropdown list or enter/type your own text.

gbeford Feb 9 2007 at 8:41 PM 
how about a NewsMaker control

theodh Feb 10 2007 at 9:52 PM 
I would like a easy to develop ajax table (select/delete/insert) (columns textbox, check, dropdown etc.). Gridview super extender ;)

brunobenitz Mar 1 2007 at 12:12 PM 
I would like on a tab control the possibility of add a image in top of each tab, and when I click , tab will be closed

eldiablo Mar 7 2007 at 8:18 PM 
I'd like to have a full compatible AJAX "HTML text editor" control.

ThatRickGuy Mar 8 2007 at 3:21 PM 
How about a flag on the accordion to suppress the header when the content is expanded?

tonyhild Mar 10 2007 at 1:21 AM 
I would like to see a Windows.Forms.MessageBox like ModalPopup without TargetControlId with pre-defined images and buttons, that's showed only by the Show method.

badgrs Mar 13 2007 at 3:18 PM 
How about extensive documentation? Or is this project going to suffer from the same problems as most other JS frameworks found in the wild...

irperez Mar 28 2007 at 7:00 PM 
It would be great to have a panel extender that is like a popup window but with advanced functionality similar to telerik's window control.

ac931274 Apr 1 2007 at 12:31 AM 
Another control very similar to the AutoComplete control but the web service sends back a second value which can be filled in to a hidden control on the page, very much like the combo box name/value control.

ronnyek Apr 27 2007 at 4:22 PM 
I would like to see the controls that are there... working like they should be. Not that this is really a productive statement, but most of existing controls I'd hardly consider useable in real world apps. ModalPopup is quite possibly one of the most used controls, and definately needs a lot of work. I wish I had more background on the popup so perhaps I could help.

Hayedid May 8 2007 at 4:42 PM 
I would love to see a good drag-and-drop multiple file upload with a progress bar (or multiple bars if it could upload more than one file at a time).

conio Jun 26 2007 at 2:41 PM 
could we get Ajax-ified Upload control.....

johnmcmillion Jul 27 2007 at 12:31 AM 
accurate Ajax progress control, for use with items like an Ajax upload control

johnmcmillion Jul 27 2007 at 12:32 AM

I should like
a control like updateprogress
that instead worked with webservices, postback and loading control.

Updateprogress works only with updatepanel.

dadvav Sep 19 2007 at 12:12 PM 
Is it possible to change Format in Calendar Control? Better idea is to load format from CultureUI . Thanks.

IndianGuru Oct 3 2007 at 4:17 PM 
I would like to have URL property for the ModalPopup Extender, so that one can open a page in Modal form
