Customization in Message control
27 Feb 20234 minutes to read
The Message control allows user to customize the content display positions and appearance. This section explains the details about changing the content alignments and border styles for messages.
Content Alignment
Normally, the message content is aligned to the left. The Message control allows user to align the message content in the center or right through the built-in classes e-content-center
and e-content-right
.
The following example demonstrates the message with different content alignments.
<div class="msg-custom-section">
<div class="msg-content-section">
<h4>Content Alignment</h4>
@Html.EJS().Message("msg-content-left").Severity(Severity.Success).Content("Your license has been activated successfully").Render()
@Html.EJS().Message("msg-content-center").Severity(Severity.Warning).Content("The license will expire today").CssClass("e-content-center").Render()
@Html.EJS().Message("msg-content-right").Severity(Severity.Error).Content("The license key is invalid").CssClass("e-content-right").Render()
</div>
</div>
<style>
.msg-custom-section .content-section {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 400px;
padding-top: 10px;
}
.msg-custom-section .e-message {
margin: 10px 0;
}
</style>
Rounded and Square
To customize the Message control’s appearance, add the custom class to the message through the CssClass property. This custom class will be added to the root element. Based on this custom class, the user can override the message styles at the application level.
The following example shows the rounded and squared appearance of the message, which can be achieved by adding the CssClass
property.
<div class="msg-custom-section">
<div class="msg-content-section">
<h4>Rounded</h4>
@Html.EJS().Message("rounded").Severity(Severity.Warning).Content("The license will expire today").CssClass("rounded").Render()
<h4>Rounded</h4>
@Html.EJS().Message("square").Severity(Severity.Error).Content("The license key is invalid").CssClass("square").Render()
</div>
</div>
<style>
.msg-custom-section .content-section {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 400px;
padding-top: 10px;
}
.msg-custom-section .e-message {
margin: 10px 0;
}
.msg-custom-section .e-message.rounded {
border-radius: 5px;
}
.msg-custom-section .e-message.square {
border-radius: 1px;
}
</style>
CSS Message
The Essential JS 2 Message has predefined CSS classes that can be defined in the HTML elements, which renders the message without any script reference. This can display a simple message with content and make the code lighter.
The following DOM structure is required to display the simple message with the content.
<div class="e-message">
<div class="e-msg-content">..content..</div>
</div>
The following DOM structure is required to display the simple message with the content and severity icon.
<div class="e-message">
<span class="e-msg-icon"></span>
<div class="e-msg-content">..content..</div>
</div>
The following is the available list of predefined CSS classes to make the appearance of a message.
Class | Description |
---|---|
e-message | Represents the message wrapper. |
e-msg-icon | Represents the severity type icon. |
e-msg-content | Represents the message content. |
e-msg-close-icon | Represents the close icon. |

e-warning | Represents the warning message. |
e-error | Represents the error message. |
