Hi, ive got a custom control, it basically has a label and a toolstrip.
i can add my control to the toolbox and add it to a form, but i'd really
like to be able to let the end developer add items to the toolstrip via
the properties panel. Ive add a public property "ToolStripItems " to my
control and it shows up in the designer, but when i click the "..."
button to edit the collection i get the following dialog:
"Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: value"
Ive looked at the ToolStrip item class and notice it uses some design
time serialisation:
[DesignerSeriali zer("System.Win dows.Forms.Desi gn.ToolStripCod eDomSerializer,
System.Design, Version=2.0.0.0 , Culture=neutral ,
PublicKeyToken= b03f5f7f11d50a3 a",
"System.Compone ntModel.Design. Serialization.C odeDomSerialize r,
System.Design, Version=2.0.0.0 , Culture=neutral ,
PublicKeyToken= b03f5f7f11d50a3 a")]
[Designer("Syste m.Windows.Forms .Design.ToolStr ipDesigner, System.Design,
Version=2.0.0.0 , Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= b03f5f7f11d50a3 a")]
I tried adding these in to my class but it wont compile - complaining it
cant convert <mycontrol> to System.Windows. Forms.ToolStrip .
Any help on how i go about this?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a user control and I want an array of items to be available to
the user
In my case these items are a class called Needle.
I added a property called Needles to get\set the array (Needle) and
it seems to work except that the designer doesn't handle it correctly
In the property page of the designer I see the property and I can

I make a similar post in another newsgroup, but this example is
simplified somewhat.
I have a component (cmpMyComponent) with 2 properties. The 1st property
is a string value (Description) and the 2nd property is a strongly typed
collection class (myCollectionProperty).
The collection contains a simple class (myCustomClass) which has 1 text
property (TextProperty).

I'm writing my first windows control library. A simple
textbox with some numeric facilities.
Well, there is a strange thing that happen.
I want to add a locked property. As many other
property, because it's a default property, I must shadow
it, but unfortunately, despite the other properties shadowed,
for instance tabindex, locked continue to stay in design category
also if I set it up to behaviour, and doesn't run my own
code.

I expose a FieldText property in the form designer without exposing the

The code below isn't what I want to do but it demonstrates succinctly

blank. If I do this with the "Text" property it works but not with my

I've written a composite custom control which I would like to have update its design-time display when one of several properties

I am at a loss as to how to go about doing this. I have a custom designer for the control, but I don't see any functionality in the...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
