i created a user control and inherited a textbox.is it possible to remove some of the inherited properties of the user control?like to Multi-Line, PasswordChar etc also at the Form Design, when selecting the user control, there's an arrow on the upper-right which i also want to remove.
View 2 RepliesI've written my code to implement a new property and to set the content to this default text and grey the text whenever the textbox is empty, and to hide it when the user starts typing. This all works fine at runtime.[code]My question is this : If I place an instance of the control on a form, and set the DefaultText via the properties grid, why doesn't my Property Set code run?I'd expect the control on the form to show my new DefaultText in the control, but instead it remains blank. When I run the form it does display correctly, but just not at design time. I place a breakpoint in the DefaultText set property code and it simply doesn't run.
View 2 RepliesWhen I try to create an Inherited User Control everything goes fine until I specify the base control and press "Add" in the Inheritance dialog. The code in the newly created Control should have a "Inherited From" statement, but it doesn't and nothing works after that. I even tried following the ctlClocklib project and the same thing happened. ctlAlarmClock.vb was created but the "Inherited From" statement was missing.
View 3 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 RepliesIn a user control I have the code shown below.
I now realize that it is incorrect because the container's InitializeComponent property initializations have not run yet and they must be run prior to Refresh being called.
How (where) can I run Refreash after the container has initialized this user control.[cod]e...
I tried it and get an error but maybe I'm tring the wrong way. Can a usercontrol inherate an application defined class ie.. could you inheritance a classic rect class into a user control to add the hight and width properties to the control without having to do all the coding all over again? Currently I just declair a private instance of the class within the control and then encapsalate. It would be nice if I could just inherit all the functionality of my classes into controls designed to implament the classes.
View 1 RepliesI've created a user control that is basically a Panel that contains 1 label,3 TextBoxes and a few properties that set/get some short integer values.During a form load event I display a number of these Panels.I then access the Panels name (and other panel properties) via a user-created handler for the panel's click eventHowever I would really like to access the values from the user-control's properties.

I have a base form class that is providing a new property that looks Like this
Public Class BaseForm
Private _HappyTime As Boolean
Public Property HappyTime() As Boolean
[Code]....
Now when I inherit the BaseForm on a new form, the HappyTime property displays in the properties window as false, and is uneditable.
I've recreated this BaseForm and Inheriting Form in an entirely new soloution and, the HappyTime property is editable and works as expected. For some reason in the existing project (where these changes need to be made) it's not behaving properly.

I created a custom datacolumn class which inherits from DataColumn and has 2 properties. I then successfully added this custom datacolumn to a datatable. When i try to access the properties through the datatable.columns(index).property, the properties i added are not listed. If i go back in the code to where i instantiate the custom datacolumn i can see the properties here, but not after its added to the datatable.

View 7 RepliesChecking User control's properties?
View 4 RepliesI've built a custom user control in VS2010, incorporating two datagridviews, and asplitpanel - The idea is that there is a "Main" datagridview control, and the second is an internally controlled grid that (when shown) displays the Columns which are set as invisible. This allows the user to drag the columns onto the main grid, in order to display the columns.This all works fairly well. I've set the modifiers property on the Main DataGridView to public, so that by and large, the developers can make use of the control just like a normal DGV (albeit with an extra level to the code).
I've also created dummy events for each of the events that the DGV normally raises, and pass them through the usercontrol, so that the developers can attach to the DGV events as normal. Again, this appears to work fine.Unfortunately, I've run into a problem. I'm trying to set the RowSizeMode to DisplayedCells (or indeed any value). If I try it in the designer, it appears to retain the change until I run the application, after which the property reverts back to normal.

In my asp.net 4.0 application I have a standard set of tabs controls across the application that has one tab for Search, one for View and one for Reporting.I am in the process of updating those tabs and I was hoping to be able to wrap their functionality up into a single user control since they all function in pretty much similar ways. The issue I am having is how to create a property called SeacrhTab/ViewTab/ReportTab that allows me to assign a different user control to it depending on the area of the application (e.g. CompanySearchControl, ContactSearchControl, etc.) Anyone ever tried to accomplish something similar?

I want to be able to override propertyName in baseClass with the propertyName in otherClass. Is this possible to accomplish?

I am using visual inheritance and was wondering if there is a way to change the properties of inherited controls at design time, preferably in the form designer. If not, then in the designer code. I have my control declared as Public in the base class. I can access it in the child form code, but not in the form designer. Is this just not possible?
View 3 RepliesIt a snag and couldn't find anything on google pertaining to my situation so I figured asking here was better than searching for hours on end for something I may not even find.
I have a button on the main form which generates a new instance of the usercontrol in the flow layoutpanel of the currently selected tab of the tabcontrol.
Then I have a button in the user control meant to delete itself from the flowlayoutpanel.
something I just noticed which is work-aroundable but a little annoying. We have a user control which has several properties. These have not had the <Browsable(True)> Attribute applied. However, when we drop the control onto a form the properties are appearing in the property list
View 8 RepliesI'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

View 4 RepliesAfter taking a few years off from programming, I decided to start learning vb.net. I have created a user control that contains a picture box. I added some custom properties to the picture box that will hold general string data from a database.
My problem is that the user control is programatically created during run time, and during this time a DoubleClick event handler is added for the picture box that is within the user control.
I need to be able to set the custom properties for the picture box during the creation of the user control, so that when the control (picture box) is double clicked I can read these values but am unsure on how to access them.
The picture box is the entire size of the user control, or I would just add the custom properties right to the user control and add the DoubleClick event handler to that. However, double clicking needs to be done on the picture box since it takes up the entire user control, unless anyone has an idea to trigger the DoubleClick event of the user control when the picture box is double clicked.
