Showing Properties Of Child Objects In The Property Grid?
Mar 9, 2010
I have a custom class (Class1) with a bunch of properties. One of the properties of this class is another custom class (Class2) with its own properties.I have a property grid with the selected object set to Class 1. I can see Class 2 as a property, but i would like to expand Class 2 to show its properties in the same property grid.
Im basically trying to do the exact same thing as the Font Class on a form. If you look at the properties of a form in the designer, you can see the font property. You can then expand that to show the properties of the font class.

i have a clsTest with the following layout:
vb
Public Class clsTest
Public Property Test1 as string
'...
[code]....

I'm creating a UserControl that draws a simple radial gauge. I need it to be very customizable; the user should be able to customize everything such as the colors, fonts, sizes. So, I just made a property for every customizable detail. For example, I had ScaleFont, ScaleColor, ScaleStart, ScaleEnd, ScaleInnerRadius, ScaleOuterRadius, ScaleTickmarkFrequenty, etc.. etc.. etc...
Because there are so many properties about the same subject, I wanted to 'group' these properties into one "property". I've seen this done loads of times in third party controls, but I've never done it before myself.The idea is that the properties can be accessed like
Me.Gauge1.ScaleSettings.Start = 10
Me.Gauge1.ScaleSettings.End = 80
...
So far, I tried creating a class for each group, for example a clsScaleSettings class, containing properties like Font, Color, Start, End, InnerRadius, OuterRadius, TickmarkFrequenty, etc (corresponding to the same properties as above).
Then, for every 'group' or class, I create a Property. For example, I have the ScaleSettings property, which simply returns an instance of the clsScaleSettings class (I initialize the instance only once of course):
vb.net
Private _ScaleSettings As New clsScaleSettings
Public Property ScaleSettings() As clsScaleSettings
[code]....
Now, this works in the code editor. I can now use
Gauge1.ScaleSettings.Font = Me.Font
for example, and it sets the font correctly.But, I does not work in the designer, in the Property Grid. The whole reason I made the effort to move and rename nearly all properties (about 70!), and all references to those properties, to separate classes, was so that the user could design the gauge more easily using the Property Grid!Instead of having 15 settings related to the scale, scattered all over the Property Grid, he can now have one ScaleSettings property, which he can expand, and then he can edit the properties of that group easily.The ScaleSettings property is greyed out in the property grid... So I cannot expand it and view it's underlying properties.

I have a nested class, let's call it class1 and it has class2 inside it; VB.Net eg:[code]
1) How can I define X number of Class2 objects[let's call it: Node(x) array]** with NEW() subroutine called?' this raises error: dim cls2(n) as new class2 end sub.
2) How can I return actual number of Node() array? [code]Outside my class in main project I define cls1 object:[code]Now an array of class2 is created inside cls1.
3) Now,How can I access All of them[node(x) array which is created inside cls1] with all properties and methods available?
I remember I wrote a ProcessManager class with this functionality in .net 2003, nearly 4 years age, I don't have the code now.

I'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.)

I have a program like this.
Module Module1
Public Class Mstr
Public Property Prop1 As String
Public Property Prop2 As String[code]....
But it is not working as I expect it to. You can see it from.The DtlsB properties of all three DtlsA objects are having values from last iteration.

long story short, I have created a ListView type control, using UserControls for the parent control and the ListViewItems. Most the of the control is written and works fine, right up to the point where I tried to replicate the 'Control.SelectedItems(0).Index' property and the 'SelectedIndexChanged' event.
Each child object knows its index value, and could pass this value via the SelectedIndexChanged event (assuming this is how it works in a normal ListView control -- user clicks on an item, and that item fires an event updating the selected index value in the parent object).
How does the child object raise an event in the parent object? I have a feeling this could be done with Delegates, but I'm still learning about their usage.

As I understood , The property grid is given an object which it can manipulate by extracting its Properties using reflections.
My problem is that I have a set of Parameters that is determined during run-time , thus I can't staticly compose a class with properties to represent this set.
I have two idea in mind to solve this problem but both are complex and will probably consume lot of time , infact i will say they are not practical under my time constraints. One is to use Reflection Emit in order to define a class dynamically and the other is to dynamiclly build a C# source file and then compile it using CodeDom.
Can Property grid behave in a different manner( other then extracting the Properties of an object using reflections ) that can suite my problem?
I want to say that the reason I went to the property grid from the begining was its ability to provide realy nice Data Retrieval UI for common types.For color you autometically get a palette , For dataTime you automatically have a nice calender. I would like to get those things automatically If possible.

I have a listbox with several list items added. I want that as user click on an item, I should be able to show its property. This should change for different items. For example (hypothetical) : Listbox has numbers 1 - 10. Now when I select 1 I should be able to set property - Name, Lastname, Colour, Age.
When I select 2 I should be able to set - Age, Hair Colour (clr shows), Weight, Date. When I select 3 then - City (combo box drop down), Country, Age only. This way value changes for diff items. One way is to put them in property grid and show them. Though this looks nice but adding/removing items in that is not easy. You need to have a class that refer that to prop grid. Do I have to code for each classes for all values in listbox or is there an easier way to manage items in property grid. If you think prop grid is not the right tool for such an activity then can you suggest something else.

I'm working on a Hazardous Materials label printing program. One of the options is to do an "NFPA" label. Since there are 4 values required with 4 or 6 options, the ratings are entered via radio buttons in a group box. That's working okay. I display values in the NFPA diamond as they're entered: left quadrant blue, top quadrant red, left yellow, bottom red. I'm having trouble with the label in which the rating will be displayed on top of a jpg diamond for the white. In this quadrant the text can be up to 4 characters. I can accept the text going into an adjacent block a little, but the corners of the label overlap into another quadrant/color. I reduced the font size which solved the overlap problem but the font is then too small and looks terrible. I tried to make the background of the label transparent to let the color come through correctly but that's not a valid value for label.background. I'm figuring that the transparent background is the best solution. What can I use that will accept a transparent background so the color shows through?
I'm trying to set the transparent property via label properties properties, not via code. Here's the code if it makes any difference:
Public Class NFPA
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Close()
End Sub
[code]....

I need to make this property a list box that gets the values from a database table and populates the list box with the values from the table. I have tried numerous things to no avail.

I've reviewed the links that were offered and don't find an answer. Neither has a lot of searching helped, probably because I can't think of a reasonably short way to ask the question. I hope that I've at least found the proper forum and category.
In my VB 2010 code, I've defined a structure that has about 30 elements. I want to sum the properties (they are all singles) of two members of the corresponding collection. I understand that I can do something like:
member1.property1=member2.property1+member 3.property1 for the entire set of properties of member2 and member3 to produce a completely defined member1 What I wonder is whether or not there is a way that uses fewer lines of code - I know that I can't do:member1=member2+member3, for example.

I currently changing an in-house Access Database to Visual Basic 2010. Since they are used to tabs in Access, I decided to use MDI Parent and MDI Child. What I dont allow is for the user to change the size of the Child. With that, I used a menu strip making one of the items [Open Windows] the MdiWindowListItem which worked great for awhile. Now I can not get any list to show no matter how many windows are opened. About the only thing I can think of that may or may not be the issue is I allow another MDI Child attached to the Parent from the MDI Child. Like below:
With newForm
.Text = formTitle
.MdiParent = Management
[Code]....
Even with removing this code to test it this caused it still had the same issue. I even went as far as adding a new menu and attaching it to the MdiWindowListItem with the same results.

I'm using a masked text box control. It has a property, ValidatingType, that is not available at designtime so it doesn't appear in the properties window of the IDE. The IDE has two drop-downs where you can select an object in your project on the left drop-down and see the associated members on the right drop-down.
My question is: Why, if I select my masked text box control on the left drop-down, don't I see the ValidatingType property on the right drop-down? All the events for the text box appear, why not the property members as well? Perhaps because it only shows properties that I code for an object?

I have a vb.net baseclass in a dll in my c# project. I created a derived class in c#. I fill the C# class with all its properties, including the base properties from the vb class. Now I send them through a webservice (c# ) to a jQuery client. But on the client I only see the vb properties?
public class FilmItem : ContentItem // ContentItem is from VB DLL {
public string Zender { get; set; }
public string Jaar { get; set; }
[WebMethod]
public IEnumerable GetContentItems(VBLib.GridRequest gridRequest) {
ContentCache contentCache = new ContentCache();
return contentCache.GetFilms(gridRequest); // gives back a List<FilmItem>
}
Just found out that if I remove the vb.net class, all the properties are showing fine from the C# class. Also found out that the vb.net is declared like this:
Public Class ContentItem
Inherits System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary(Of String, Object)
Implements IContentItem
Could it be the dictionary or the interface? (Which sums up the properties I was seeing).

I have a request to show a grid similar to a calendar showing on columns the day and on row months.
Something like this
Month |Sun|Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat|Sun|Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat|Sun|Mon|Tue|Wed|...|Thu|
January | 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6| 7| 8| 9| 10| 11|...................| 31|
Febrary | | | | 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6| 7|...........................| 29|

I am creating a tool that interfaces with an API for a CD/DVD burner. I have created several custom classes that will hold the information for the disk sets (which consist of a data path and a label file among other information. The DiskSet class has a list of Include objects. My proposed XML output would be something similar to the following:
<DiskSets>
<DiskSet>
<Name>MySet 1</Name>
[code].....
I am attempting to traverse the Includes collection (I have tried List and Binding List as I am also using this in a pair of datagridview controls) and it keeps returning Expression of type 'Object is not queryable. Make sure you are not missing an assembly reference and/or namespace import for the LINQ provider." How can I use LINQ to pull a list of the Include objects under each DiskSet object for transformation into XML? I am hoping to keep this restricted to this one block of code if possible.

I have a program that contains a 2d grid of panel objects and I just realized that the computer I need to run this program on does not use .Net4 and I cannot upgrade its framework either. Because of this, I have to rewrite the program in vb6, which was not so bad until I had to make the grid of panels...
Here is the code I am using in vb2010 to make the grid and I was wondering how to transcribe this into vb6.
Dim regionGrid(0 To 37, 0 To 37) As System.Windows.Forms.Panel
(in nested loop)

in my program I have a section that is outlined as listed below - in the page load, the label's visibility is set to false.
lblLoading.visable = true
lblloading.text = "loading please wait"
UpdateData()
lblloading.text = "Loading Complete"
It takes about a minute or 2 to run updatedata as it is doing multiple things to a database - when I execute this code, it stalls and loads the data, then when done I do get my label that says loading complete, but I never see the label before it is done loading to tell the user that it is processing. Is there any way to force it to show before UpdateData() is called so that it shows during the load time?

I have a very simple setup, single mycontrol.ascx with assoicated mycontrol.ascx.designer.vb and mycontrol.ascx.vb file.
mycontrol.ascx embeds a single reference to a custom control: "MyMenu":
<mM:myMenu id="myMenu1" runat="server" />
This has created a protected reference in the mycontrol.ascx.designer.vb file:
Protected WithEvents myMenu1 As Global.CustomControls.MyMenu
Now, when I breakpoint the Page_Load() event of mycontrol.ascx, and inspect the members returned from the type via:
Me.GetType().GetMembers()
I cannot any reference to myMenu1. If I look at the control with intellisence, the property is accessible:
Me.myMenu1
what I'm missing and what I need to do to access designer created properties at runtime through reflection?
