Different Skin/Container applied to all .ascx files except View.ascx 

I've created a custom module that has 3 .ascx user controls.  They are (basically) view.ascx, edit.ascx, and add.ascx.  When I go into settings.ascx for the module and select "Don't display container", view.ascx responds as I expect and doesn't display the container.  When I click on a record being viewed in view.ascx, I view all the fields for that record in edit.ascx.  HOWEVER, edit.ascx appears in a different page skin and a container is displayed.  The same happens with add.ascx. There doesn't appear to be any way to address those controls specifically with regard to applying the module settings from settings.ascx.

Question: Is is possible to display .ascx controls other than view.ascx in the same skin/container as view.ascx? 

Any ideas/tips would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!!

Re: Different Skin/Container applied to all .ascx files except View.ascx 

Brian,

When you show a control using dynamic loading on the querystring (ctl=Edit, etc.), DNN displays that control isolated on the page without any other module around it.  When it does this, it uses the admin skin and container.  So, you can change your admin skin and container, if that's possible.  Or, you can choose to load your module a different way so that it doesn't do the whole isolation thing.

Check out Michael Washington's tutorial on Module Navigation the see what other options are available to you.

Hope it helps,
