[2008] Add A Custom DropDown To The PropertyGrid For A Control?
Oct 7, 2009
I'm trying to add a custom DropDown to the PropertyGrid for a control. I am adding the TrackBar control. It works fine, except, I would like to have the values updated in the PropertyGrid as I move the TrackBar. As it is now, it only updates the PropertyGrid when I finish and click off the TrackBar... I know the problem lies in the Type Editor. How can I get it to allow interim values to be processed. Is there some callback function I can use?
Here is the Type Converter code:
Imports System.Windows.Forms.Design
Public Class Slider
Private editorService As IWindowsFormsEditorService
[code]....

I have a custom control and have created some properties for it.When I click on that control, its properties are then shown in the PropertyGrid.The problem, is that I only want to show some of the predefined properties as well as my custom properties.Does anyone know how I can filter out the properties I want shown?

I have a custom control. I need to add a property, say, Comparison, to the control. The property should be set at design time using a dropdown. The Dropdown will have String values like '=','>','<' etc.
I tried using Enum values and working perfectly but I need to do some extra coding to convert the Enum values to the string I required. It would be great if I can get the values from the dropdown so that I can directly use the selcted value.

I've created a custom user control that has several properties. One specifies which database I want the control to access. I want to be able to present the user of the control a drop down from which he can select which database the control will interact with. How do I get the dropdown to work? I can get default values, but have yet to figure out how to get the selectable list.

Does anyone know of a way have the PropertyGrid control display a NumericUpDown instead of a DropDown box or text box? One of the properties that I need to capture is an integer and I'd like the user to be able to spin up or down to choose a value instead of typing it in.

I have seen it somewhere ages ago but cannot find the link... I want to create a custom drop-down "property page" like the one that pops out when you click on the down arrow in the property grid to set the anchoring.

I've been following this article:and have everything working.Under the Support for Custom Types section, it introduces a collapsable type for the spell check options. The option are added together to produce a string that is displayed in the grid in the Spell Check Options row. Is it possible to get this string directly from the 'AppSettings' class or do I need to add another property and copy the code from the ConvertTo and ConvertFrom functions?

It seems as if the propertygrid control cannot display property arrays. Is this the case?
When I do this :

Public Class comPicturePirate
Private intAmountImages As Integer
Private strWebURL As String

I've populated a PropertyGrid with a custom class. How do you create and display a sub property similar to Size (Height, Width) which has two values or Point(X,Y)? For example, the class is Test and the property is Item as string. I want to expand Item to have two sub properties, A and B.

I've not really worked with them before, well at all really. How would I go about creating a control which has multiple picture boxes, so then I can access each picturebox and refer to them via custom properties? I'm not aware you can draw several picture boxes and combine them into one control?

In THIS Thread:NickThissen Said:Quote:It will appear in the toolbox even if you put it in the current project, instead of a control library project.No, it does not have to be in a control library, nor does it have to be a UserControl, to appear in the Toolbox. Any class inheriting (either directly or indirectly) from Control or Component will appear in the Toolbox. Since RadioButton inherits from Control, and your control inherits from RadioButton, your control inherits from Control too, so it will appear in the Toolbox. I have successfully created a pretty cool custom control. I Built the project and have added the a reference to the .dll form a new Windows forms project. It works great, as long as I do something like THIS:
Dim ThisControl As New MyCustomControl
ThisControl.Top = 40
ThisCOntrol.Left = 40

I have the above control I am using, whose base class is the ListBox.Unlike the ListBox, it doesn't highlight a new item when it is inserted.I already had to add the ability to InsertAt() a new item since the person who made it originally hadn't implemented that part.But, I am having trouble figuring out how to make that part work.The above link is directly to the original Control.Here is the code for the Insert method I added:
Public Sub Insert(ByVal index As Integer, ByVal value As MCListBoxItem)
Try
List.Insert(index, value)

I have several custom controls inside my project, just added a new class and then inherit the original control. For example i have a Custom DataGridView Control (CustDGV), that defines several properties in the constructor of the control.Now i have one problem and one issue, the problem, if i change the CustDGV i don't know why, the forms that are using the control doesn't update the changes... The only way it's removing and adding it again.. not very useful when i have several event's already defined for the dgv.How do i force the form to update the control?The issue it's that some of the properties doesn't get applied, for example i set the column header height and the disable resizing in the constructor, but if i run the code this two properties doesn't get applied, i need to define them in the form where i use the control to get the results that i expect..The order of the properties in the constructor? The properties in the properties window override the constructor ones?

I have a custom control I've created, and I'd like to be able to step through it (either in a test application or the one it's being used in). Is there a way to do this?

I have a panel that has 9 pictures boxes within it. I need the User to be able to create as many instances of this control as they like.
Then each control needs to be able to move freely within the form.
I've created the control and added the appropriate code to move it around the control.
I've made the control canvas the same size of the panel. The problem is that when I move the panel, it only moves within the bounds of the control canvas. I guess I could increase the size of the canvas, but then additional controls would still only be able to move within their bounds and it would come out all wrong.
Is there anything I could do about this? Or is there a better method?

This relates to WPF but is broad enough that a winform answer will do. I have made a few custom controls in the past by inheriting from whatever particular control I wish to inherent from.
I have noticed that I can add a form to a class/user control library from the add new dialog and have it run. When this application is compiled I get a DLL.
So my question is can I use a Form as a custom control. The reason I ask is I am creating a more advanced MsgBox for a new application I require and a form as its container makes the most sense.

We are using the .NET PropertGrid to edit the Usersettings of our application. If we use Strings or integers than it works perfectly. Now we need a propery, we call them "Vendor", that store a GUID of the Vendor from a database. But the user didn?t see the GUID in the PG. he can choose beetwen the venders Names in a combobox. This combobox must be loaded from the database I have start to try to solve that with following

I have created a custom control in one VS project. Once tested and built, I then copied the object over to a structured class library type project I hope to use as a code repository for these kind of things. To ensure I can get to the control, I created a test project and added this repository dll as a reference. The problem is that I cannot see the custom control in the toolbox.
Is there an attribute or something I should've used in the repository dll in order for this to happen?
My objective is to create a custom namespace in this repository dll so that any custom objects or controls can be referenced in various other applications without having to copy the objects to each. I know my reference is good as I can create the control in code. I would just like to see it show up in the toolbox!

I created a custom control and I'm trying to insert it into a panel, but also center it.The control itself is larger than the panel, so I've set the AutoScroll property of the panel to True. I think that might be affecting it. Perhaps I should just offset the Y axis a bit.But, either way, this is what I'm trying:
VB .NET
'Create the control
Dim AutomationReport As New AutomationReportControl
[code]....
It works just fine with the X axis, but the control is out of bounds vertically. About 1-2 inches of the top is cut off.
