Hi all,
I'm trying to build a component which takes advantage of other components.
So, when this new component is draged to the form, I would like to insert
other components on the designer and relate them. But only the first time
the component is inserted! to avoid inserting components each time de form
is loaded in the IDE.
How can I hook the very first time a component is draged on a windows form?
Thanks for attention,

Hi,
I was also interested in that problem and I found that the ComponentAdded
event does not provide that info. There are several cases:
- A component added from the toolbox
- A paste operation
- An undo operation (that places a control that was deleted)
- ...
Maybe a control designer has other hooks but the ComponentAdded event that
add-ins can use doesn't.

Hi Carlos,
Thanks for the tip.
Well, it seems not an easy issue.
I've just found an interface (framework 2.0) that may help.
IComponentIniti alizer
It has two methods which give a choice to hook the creation of new and
existing components. But i've not investigate if this is true for all the
cases you expose.

Ah, yes, I found that interface sometime ago but I don't know how to use it
from outside a control designer (from an add-in, for example). Let me know
if you get more info.

Hi Carlos,
I still have'nt work with add-ins and macros, so I cannot properly talk
about it, but I'll explain you how I use this interface through the designer
of a component, and perhaps it helps you.
Anyway, I was testing the points you expose in your previous message, and
this interface does'nt solve them.
// Make the designer implements IComponentIniti alizer
class MyComponentDesi gner:System.Com ponentModel.Des ign.ComponentDe signer,
IComponentIniti alizer
{
...
// Implement the interface
void
IComponentIniti alizer.Initiali zeExistingCompo nent(System.Col lections.IDicti onary
defaultValues)
{
base.Initialize ExistingCompone nt(defaultValue s);
// hook point
}
void
IComponentIniti alizer.Initiali zeNewComponent( System.Collecti ons.IDictionary
defaultValues)
{
base.Initialize NewComponent(de faultValues);
// hook point }
}
}

Hello,
I am currently using an evaluation version the (latest) sa file up
component.
I have noticed and am concerned with the fact that the file up form

to support only one reading of values. Once i have created an instance
of the file up component upload a file and destroy it i am unable to gain
access to
