Hi,
When I change properties through the property window on my custom control
and then move focus from that property cell VS.Net runs the
GetDesignTimeHt ml() method on my designer. When I implement a UITypeEditor,
change the values, then close the editor nothing happens until I switch the
HTML view (which shows the changes) and then switch back to design view
which then shows the new stuff.
I can get to my component through the Context.Instanc e object in the
EditValue method but I can't figure out how to get a reference to the
designer to call GetDesignTimeHt ml(). When the editor closes and I assign
the value to the property of my control I can set a breakpoint where the
property is assigned the new value but I still can't see how to get a
reference to the designer. How can I call GetDesignTimeHt ml() or get it to
be called after my control changes due to action taken in a custom
UITypeEditor?
***Follow Up:
With the following code in the Set method of my property that gets updated
from the custom UITypeEditor I can all the UpdateDesignTim eHtml() function:
Dim x As New MenuDesigner
x.Initialize(Me )
x.IsDirty = True
x.UpdateDesignT imeHtml()
I overrode the UpdateDesignTim eHtml() function so I could set a breakpoint
and in it I just call the base classes method. When I call this myself, it
gets hit and runs and still nothing changes in the design screen. However,
I added a bogus property that has no editor. When I change it in the
property window and move focus from it, it calls UpdateDesignTim eHtml() and
the updated control instantly renders. I scoured the Designer object when I
hit the break point in the UpdateDesignTim eHtml() function and everything
seems to be set the same regardless of if I call it or VS.Net does. IsDirty
is set to True, it shows the correct ID of the control it is designing for,
all references appear to be identical. What am I missing here?
***2nd Follow Up:
It appears that when I call UpdateDesignTim eHtml() directly,
GetDesignTimeHt ml() is never called. But when VS.Net calls it after
editing a property in the property window, it is
called. What do I need to do to my component to put it in a state where
it'll fire the GetDesign... method when I call the UpdateDesign... method?
I've tried creating a function like this:
Public Sub MarkChange()
Dim c As IComponentChang eService =
DirectCast(GetS ervice(GetType( IComponentChang eService)),
IComponentChang eService)
c.OnComponentCh anging(Me, Nothing)
c.OnComponentCh anged(Me, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing)
End Sub
Which I call before I call the UpdateDesign... method. However it still
doesn't help. Thanks for any input. Ken. 0 1424 This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

We have several programs that will lose datasets from the designer and / or

This is one of the lines of code that is flagged as an error.

Release is a dataset - it has a corresponding .xsd file. The dataset was
defined through the designer.

Hi all!
I've been playing a bit with Component Designer in Visual Studio.NET. Seems
to me like a great way to build simple data access components using "point

The class which is Component Designer ends up with inhertits from
System.ComponentMode.Component. I understand that a class which...

Hi All,
I am developing a Dotnet component in C#, and it has got a set of design

problem I am facing here is, whenever you drag and drop this component from

the "InitializeComponent" procedure of the Main application, which is giving
errors while compiling.
The component has got a property...

Hi All,
I am using a COM object and so I have to use a form for it to work.
The problem is I need to run it as a service as well.
When I run it in a test scenario everything works fine and Invoke
works as expected.
However, when I run it as a service the Invoke command just bombs out
without any errors and everything just stops. I have the service
installed using an administrator account and interacting with the
desktop for testing.

In building controls we need to create Custom UITypeEditor classes, most of
this classes (in my case) doing the same job, its used to support the
controls properties with a drop down list contains some string values.
My question is, can I summarize all of this classes in one class that takes
an array of string as a parameter and used for all controls properties?
Thanks

I have a custom collection in my c# winform ui control called Items.
Items is a built in collection type that does not allow itself to be
replace (you can't 'set' the itemscollection in the control).
However, the contents of the Items collection is persisted through
designtime.
Currently this all works except for the following. When you bring up
the custom collection editor and add new items then close the
collection editor.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
