How do I make a property to have a set of selectable values, in a way such that they work by intellisense-drop-down, as i.e. the color.white, color.black etc.? I want to do this like for integer values I may want to have selectable by "keywords" with the hard values only existing in a unique class file, or whatever is necessary ..?

View 1 RepliesI am using a PropertyGrid control to edit my class properties and I am trying to set certain properties read-only depending on other property settings.This is the code of my class:
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Reflection
Public Class PropertyClass[code].....
This is the code I am using to edit the values:
Dim c As New PropertyClass
PropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = c
The problem is that when I set SomeProperty to True, nothing happens and when I then set it to False again it sets all properties Read-Only.

View 2 RepliesI have a very simple class that holds a few public properties - ID, Text, Colour, etc. and a Boolean called 'SelectedItem'. Just like the Checked property on RadioButtons, only one item can have its SelectedItem property set to True within a particular group. Note: there will be several separate groups (lists), each allowed to have only one item with SelectedItem = True.
My first thought was that I would probably just have to handle everything outside of the class, setting SelectedItem to False for every other item in a particular list when another item was selected. But that seems rather inelegant to me. So I've been trying to think of how this might be done within the class. For example: could I perhaps have a private string property called say "GroupName" - set in the New sub when adding a new instance of the class - and then use a private shared method to set every item's SelectedItem property to False, provided the item has the same GroupName as the newly selected item? I would have a go at doing this but I have no idea how to enumerate every instance of a class from within that class, or whether that's even possible. Is it? Or is there another (better) way to achieve my goal? Here is a cut-down version of what I've got so far:
Public Class ResourceItem
Public ID As Integer
Public Text As String[code]....
As can be seen: instead of instantiating a new ResourceItem and passing that as an argument to the manager's Add procedure, I'm simply passing the details of the new item and the procedure is creating the item from those. I don't know whether this is a good or bad idea - please advise - but I've done it because I couldn't figure out how to make the SelectedItem property only writeable by the manager, so I wanted to avoid having directly accessible objects that could have their SelectedItem property set to True without it deselecting all the other items in the same group. Of course that still leaves the possibility of setting a variable to one of the manager's list items and setting it from there, so I would still like to know how I could prevent that, if possible.
UPDATE: I didn't use the code above in the end, deciding instead to go with Cyborgx37's solution - which seems to work perfectly well for me despite the warnings about best practice. I also realised I would need to use the same class in another scenario where multiple items could be selected, so it was easy to add a Boolean property to the manager to enable that.

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 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 have a class which contains the object and a collection for that object. I want to make a property readonly to external calls, but allow access to that property from the collection class. I know I can use:[code]But, I want to the PreviousRow property to actually show as "ReadOnly" in the intelisense of the calling code of client app. The above does not. The only way that I see to make it show as "ReadOnly" in the called code is to mark the whole property as ReadOnly, but the problem with this is that my collection class code can no longer access this property:[code]I tried using the "Friend" declaration, but that seems to still allow Write access to the calling code.I only want write access from within the RowCollection class.
View 9 RepliesIs there a tab property I can assign to make a given tab not only the "top" (or active) tab but also the left most or is there another way to do this?(It seems pretty straight forward to make a tab the top or active tab.)The requirement is that I've got one tabcontrol that contains a potentially large number of tabs. Each member tab has a right fair number of controls and dialogs.These tabs are all grouped by fours sequentially. For example, tabs 0-3 are one group, 4-7 the next group, etc.I'd like to control the display of this tabcontrol from a different tab control. This second tab control contains high level information about the 1st tab control as well as a lot of other things pertaining to all four tabs that the user needs to see as well.For example, if I've got 8 total Tab1's, then I've got 2 Tab2's.When Tab2(0) is selected, I'd like Tab1's leftmost item to be Tab1(0). When Tab2(1) is selected, I'd like Tab1(4) to be my leftmost tab in Tab1, rotating the lower 4 out of view for the time being.

I have a situation where a class's properties are being exported/imported from an Excel sheet. Each property is in a specific column, so I want to make a mapping between each property and column # (a Dictionary collection would be sufficient). That way I can just loop through each property and/or column in the dictionary when read/writing data (maybe something like Class1.PropertyA = ws.Cells(curRow, Propto ColDictionary(PropertyA???).value). But, you obviously can't treat properties like other value types, so I don't know how I would store a property in a dictionary for this purpose. So could this sort of thing be achieved via reflection, or am I off-track?

I'm in the process of making a usercontrol and i've run into the problem of how to make a property page. Obviously this makes setting up you control nicer and more importantly to my program makes loading the form faster (setting the properties in the load event vs property page). I was trying to find something to start on but i didn't find a propety page in the "New Item" menu or even something like the "Property Pages" property of a usercontrol in vb6 where i've done this before. How can i make the equivalent of the vb6 property page in vb.net? Maybe with a form or a dialog?

View 3 RepliesI collect two sets of data from two different databases, This data is now in two collections. I then join/append the one collection to the other and then put it in to a list view.I really would like to order this list view by the first column without the click event.To make this even harder the First column contains Data that is DateTime and i have found that it orders the items by the day number and not the months or years or time.I have found one way but it then cause's me further agony when doing some checks upon the data within the listview later in my code. This answer is to rearrange the format to "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:SS" then using the listview.sorting = sortorder.
