Adding dynamic external stylesheet

Added by Saif Rehman over 9 years ago

Hi,

I can't figure out how to add a new dynamic external(or inline) stylesheet to an application. I want to create a new WCssStyleSheet for each template which may be modified during the session.

Please suggest a solution.

Hey,

I'm not sure I follow exactly, but it sounds like you want want to have a separate .css file complementing each template, that you can do using several calls to 'WApplication::useStyleSheet()'

By dynamic stylesheet I meant a WCssStyleSheet object that can be used to add and remove Css rules

To add, its not important if its an external or internal stylesheet

If I pass WCssStyleSheet& as the argument to WApplication::useStyleSheet(), Wt gives me an error saying that the WCssStyleSheet must have a valid link. I made an issue about this earlier and you told me I can use WResource but I couldn't understand how can I use WResource for such purpose

Saif,

You can easily add and remove style rules from the (single) internal stylesheet?

app->styleSheet().addRule®

app->styleSheet().removeRule® // or delete r

That is possible but on the event that the style is to be reloaded or changed, using removeRule on each and every rule can be difficult and using WCssStylesheet::clear() would remove built in Wt rules along with the rules I've added. I do believe that multiple inline stylesheets can be made/modified in HTML but Wt doesn't allow it. Can I request this feature?

Hey Saif,

I understand and yes, that would be possible.
