Hi Shahram, That hasn’t been my experience. It’s possible that it’s an either or (by design or otherwise) but the properties added to the webpart file seem to apply directly to its properties in the gallery, not a page instance. In any case I’ve only needed to add the property to the elements module and it works as I’d hoped.
A slight variation was required. <Property Name="ChromeType" Value="TitleOnly" /> I’ve also found that many other advertised properties don’t work as expected or where they’re expected. It’s very, very difficult to get the right info because a lot of it relates to System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts as opposed to what’s strictly allowed within a feature elements file for SharePoint. The SharePoint schema reference lacks any detail when it comes to a parameter set for these elements. I’ve tried to use the IgnoreIfExists attribute for my list instance and web part module but they’re apparently invlaid in this context. :\ Regards, Paul -- Online Developer/SharePoint Administrator, ICT Infrastructure Team CEO Sydney From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Shahram Banihashem Sent: Wednesday, 28 September 2011 10:17 AM To: ozMOSS Subject: Re: MOSS - Web Part chrome is locked Hi Paul, This change to elements.xml won't help.

It can be set as a property of the file element within the module in elements.xml. e.g. <Module... <File... <Property Name="ChromeType" Type="chrometype">None</Property> Incredibly useful MSDN reference with terrific examples [not]: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa544032.aspx From: ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Jorge Carvalho Sent: Monday, 19 September 2011 9:32 PM To: ozMOSS Subject: RE: MOSS - Web Part chrome is locked Hi Paul, The CreatechildControls method creates the controls on runtime when the web part is rendered, not when it is provisioned. You’re resetting the Chrome type every time you display the web part. You can define custom settings when you are provisioning the web part as part of a web template, or in a feature activated event receiver, I’m not sure how would you go about defining the default chrome for a particular web part though…. Anyone?

They always revert to what I’ve defined in CreateChildControls. protected override void CreateChildControls() { if (!error) { try { base.CreateChildControls(); this.ChromeType = PartChromeType.TitleOnly; Table table = new Table(); // etc... row.Controls.Add(cell); table.Controls.Add(row); this.Controls.Add(table); Is there a simple way to prevent this?
