copied!<p>Late answer, but maybe not too late. I'm a litte bit confused by your question, I will just answer this part :</p> <blockquote> <p>What we really want is to be able to invoke this from any code behind in some fashion like:</p> <p>Page.ShowMessage("Hello lightbox!")</p> </blockquote> <p>Let's do it with Thickbox and jQuery, that's what I'm familiar with, but this will give you the general idea to reproduce it with Lightview. First, you'll need a client script to convert the "Hello lightbox!" message into a html element and then use it as an inline content with TB. To do that, we will create a div with id myTBInline:</p> <pre><code>function showMessage(message) { var divId = "myTBInline"; // You can change this id... var div = $("#" + divId); // try to retrieve the div if it exists if (div.length > 0) // if div already exists (previous call) div.empty(); // then remove its content else div = $('<div id="' + divId + '"/>'); // else create it // add the message to the div div.append(message); // display Thickbox using the div as inline element tb_show("Message", "#TB_inline?height=200&width=300&inlineId=" + divId, null); } </code></pre> <p>This was the hard part. Now comes the easy part, being able to call that from the code behind. You'll have to add a method, where you want as it can be static/shared. I normally use C#, but I'll try to write it with VB Syntax for you (the last time I used VB.Net was back in 2005 ;)</p> <pre><code>Public Shared Class Thickbox Public Shared Sub ShowMessage(Type type, string message) Dim script as String = "showMessage('" + message.Replace("'", "\'") + "');"; ClientScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(type, "Thickbox", script, true); End Sub End Class </code></pre> <p>Here you go. From within your page, you can use the method this way :</p> <pre><code>Thickbox.ShowMessage(GetType(), "Hello Thickbox!"); </code></pre> <p>Check out this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/625326/control-lightbox-modal-from-code-behind-of-asp-net">other question</a> on SO. The implementation uses jqModal and is very small (no need for a client script).</p>
