    Type Description
    DxHtmlElement

    The element that has the specified ID.

    Remarks

    You can use the ‘id’ attribute to specify an HTML element’s ID in HTML markup:

    <div id="photo">Photo</div>
    

    The FindElementById method allows you to retrieve an HTML element with the specified ID in code. A DxHtmlElement object returned by this method exposes properties that you can use to change element display settings. The main properties include:

    • element.Hidden — Allows you to hide the element.
    • element.Style — Allows you to modify CSS style properties applied to the element. This object exposes the SetBackgroundColor, SetForeColor, and SetProperty methods for this purpose.
    var photo = htmlContentControl1.FindElementById("photo");
    if (photo != null) photo.Hidden = true;
    

    See the following topic for information on how to customize HTML elements with a specific ID in CSS code: CSS Styles - Id Selector.
