update custom control during Design time

[--== Alain ==--]

Hi,

I still have problem updating my custom control at design time.
When i change a property of my custom control in the property window, i
would like to see this change immediately on my custom control at the
design time.

Unfortunately, my custom control does not refresh at design time when a
property is changed.

Here is my custom control class extract :

namespace MyComponent
{
public partial class Frame : UserControl
{
private EventHandler HandlerColorCha nged;

public Frame()
{
InitializeCompo nent();
}

private CGridLine m_GridLines= new CGridLine();

[Category("Appea rance")]
[Browsable(true)]
[DesignerSeriali zationVisibilit y(DesignerSeria lizationVisibil ity.Content)]
[Description("Se tup Style, Type and Color of gridlines to draw.")]
[TypeConverter(t ypeof(CGridLine Converter))]
public CGridLine GridLines
{
get
{
return this.m_GridLine s;
}
set
{
this.m_GridLine s = value;
this.Invalidate ();
}
}

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEv entArgs e)
{
if (this.m_GridLin es.Lines != GridLine.None)
{
Pen myPen = new Pen(this.m_Grid Lines.Color);
e.Graphics.Draw Rectangle(myPen , new
Rectangle(0,0,t his.Width-1,this.Height-1));
}
}
}
}

the property GridLines is based on the following class :

public class CGridLine
{
public event EventHandler ColorChanged;
[RefreshProperti es(RefreshPrope rties.Repaint)]
[NotifyParentPro perty(true)]
[DefaultValue(ty peof(Color), "ActiveBord er")]
public Color Color
{
get
{
return this.m_GridLine sColor;
}
set
{
if (this.m_GridLin esColor != value)
{
this.m_GridLine sColor = value;
OnColorChanged( EventArgs.Empty );
}
}
}

protected virtual void OnColorChanged( EventArgs e)
{
if (ColorChanged != null)
{
ColorChanged(th is, e);
}
}
}

thanks for help,

Al.

Ok, I found how to cope with it. SO do not pay attention to the previous
post.
