I have a custom list control, using labels to display content.How can I add a list property to the control so I can inject items into the custom listbox?I know how to make properties for strings etc. but I can't get it to work to make a list property...
View 1 RepliesWhat I've done is create a User Control Library (Project) and I've added a single User Control to that project. The control contains a single FlowLayoutPanel, and I created a Property on the control itself to pass the FlowDirection from the Control to its FlowLayoutPanel child.
Build, reference, component appears in the Toolbox and everything works fine, but the property on the control does not appear in the Properties window when I go to edit it at design time.
[code]I want to make the Properties Window to update the properties for X and Y at each MouseMove, so they become immediately visible for the user.
View 2 RepliesIn our IDE, for example, Visual Studio, if we display the properties of a System.Windows.Forms.Button control, we see some properties that expose anoter set of properties. For example: FlatAppearance, Font, Location, Margin, etcetera.I would like to do something similar in a custom control.I know the code behind is wrong, but here is an example of what I´m trying to do:
Public Class StateOfMyCustomControl
Public Enum EnumVisibility
Visible
[code]....
In my IDE, in the properties window of my custom control, I would like to see my property State, with the possibility of display it to set the properties Visibility and EventManagement.
I want to do a class that have properties like font, which will have other properties, such as name, size, unit,bold.
<TypeConverter(GetType(ExpandableObjectConverter))> _

'Some property here

I have built a Custom Control Class that makes it much easier to build a side bar element in my html.
The problem I am running into is that when I set the "Text" property, the last time I set it gets used for every instance of the control on my page. This is my first time doing this, so I'm assuming I'm missing something basic.

Is it possible to make a form that can set the properties on a custom control in the designer? What I mean is I want to know if it is possible to show a dialog that allows you to set the settings for a certain property like if you were adding items to a listbox.
View 3 RepliesThis is similar to my last post but with a different purpose.I have built a custom control, but when I set the properties for it... ALL instances of that control on my page grab the exact same property. I need to be able to set the property to "abc" for one instance of the control on my page, and then set the exact same proprty to "xyz" for a different instance of the control on the same page.

I have a custom VB.NET control that I created that is working correctly in one program but not in another.The control has one button and one form. The form displays some data based on the settings in the control.

In TestProject1 - the control is working as expected In TestProject2 - the control is not sending any of the settings I set to the form My control works fine when I debug with the UserControl TestContainer.

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've created a user control with a simple text box and a corresponding label and added a few custom control properties. When added to a form, I'm trying to loop through all control of this type and evaluate the custom property. In the below, the cntl.MyCustomProperty is not recognized. I can evaluate the property when I check each user control on the form by name, but not by using the loop below. I would much rather use the loop as it is much cleaner.
For Each cntl As Control In Me.Controls
If (TypeOf cntl Is MyUserControl) And cntl.MyCustomProperty = "ABC" Then
''Do some stuff
End If

I've created a Custom Control, and I will be placing a large number of instances of that Custom Control on my xaml page. In working with that Custom Control in the VB Code Behind, how do I do the following?
How do I reference the name of the Custom Control (in my VB code) which was clicked with the MouseLeftButtonDown event? For example, if I have 10 instances of my Custom Control in xaml, each with a different x:name (say 1-10), when a particular instance is clicked, how can I see which one was clicked? I've tried a number of things including e.OriginalSource.Name (which returns the component within the control which was clicked and not the name of the instance of the control). My Custom Control consists of numerous parts and pieces (Rectangles, Lines, Text, etc). Each of these items is a part of my layer. In VB code, once I can reference a particular Control, how can I hide or change certain parts of that control (such as hiding a Line, and changing the text). Also, I need to modify more than just the control which was clicked, so I need to be able to access properties of all of the controls, not just what was clicked. For example, if I click Control instance Test1, I also need to modify Test2, Test3, and Test5 in some way.
Here is some test code I through together as part of a Silverlight project using MS Blend 2. My control is much larger, and I need 200 - 250 instances/copies of that custom control, so I really need to know which control instance/copy was clicked.

ok basically i was trying to make a Control that exposes its protected properties to the public. example, you could call the protected DoubleBuffered property publicly. the problem is that this class called ExposedControl must be compatible with the type System.Windows.Forms.Control, meaning i should be able to create an ExposedControl using an existing Control so i had something like this in the constructor.
Public Sub New(ByVal control as Control) Me = control

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.
View 1 RepliesI have a custom control label that I am trying to give all the same properties and functionality to as a regular label. I can change the text, font, and assign the auto size property.

View 2 RepliesI'm making a control and I am trying to finalize my design time properties grid. I have several List(of Class) items as public properties and when I click on the design time menu (while testing the control) there is the word "Collection" and a button with an ellipsis (...) that brings up a neat pop up with the buttons Add/remove and all of the public properties of the collection's class on the right hand side. Basically for a non-collection instance of a class (with public properties) I'd like a similar button to show up. I know I could put all of the properties in the main control class and group them, but I like the pop up box feature. Anyway to duplicate this? (think font grid item etc.)
View 3 RepliesCode:TimeTo_dtp.CustomFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy - HH:mm:ss"This works fine, but what I also want is for the the user to be able to select their time more precisely using miliseconds.

View 1 RepliesI created a custom datagridview column for a progressbar and included customizable color properties but I can't get them to work right. After compiling, the properties show up correctly in the Edit Columns popup editor, but changing the values has no effectThe designer generated code shows the original values and manually changing them there has the desired effect(I know you're not supposed to, just testing). Here is the code for the column even though I don't think the issue is stemming from any coding errors there.
