hey all,

i was wondering, given a user-defined public property of a custom control,
can i present the user of the custom control a drop-down list for the
available options for that public property?

thanks,

Yes (I am assuming you want it to show up in the IDE and not in the UI),

Create an enum value type like so:

public enum AcceptedValue{
Value1,
Value2,
Value3
}

Now set the property to be of type AcceptedValue. Note that the nature of
enums is to use the first value as the default value if none is specified.

Hello all, I've created a custom control that draws a monthly schedule (using the Draw function in C#). Basically it draws 31 boxes and writes the day number in every box. This works great. But I now want to show a different tooltip for every day. For now I found out that I can add a tooltip for the entire custom control

When using a custom control. In order to check and see if values have changed one has to implement the IPostBackDataCollection interface. The values returned for the control seem to be simply a string with comma delimited values. For example, if I were to render two text boxes. One with the Value Terry and the Other with the Value 'Burns' I would get the following value Terry,Burns.

Hello i have made a custom control. i have placed a panel on it. I want this panel to behave just like the normal panel. The problem i was having is that the panel on my custom control doesnt accept other controls. The control i drag drop on it becomes the child of my custom control's parent form and not the child of my custom control. Then i added this line "" before my custom control class (i dont know what this line does). Now
