How do you point to styles css in column control component

[Clive_Stewart]

I am trying to change the dialog in a custom control component.

I have copied the component out of /libs/foundation/components/parsys into my own application folder.

However, the dialog no longer picks up the Coulmn Layout in the Selection.

I assume it is not able to find the css to set the columns.

My question is how do I point the Column Control Component to my own custom css.

Include the clientlibs which has the custom css to your component.

How do I point the column control to look at any specific css.

It does not look at the clientlib by default.

The dialog appears to point to a default path or it is using one of the dialog properties in the JCR to point to the style sheet.

"how do I point the Column Control Component to my own custom css"

A column component is no different from any other AEM component - it is only javascript logic. In any AEM component - you can point to CSS by using this syntax in the component's JS logic:

<cq:includeClientLib categories="jquerysamples" />

You define the  clientlibs and define the categories property to - in this case jquerysamples. Make sure that the clientlib contains the CSS file you want to use in the given component. 

if you want to see this article - it shows you how to define a clientlibs and use it in a JSP file.

You can also overlay an AEM component and make it point to your own clientlibs folder as well

Hope this helps.
