Hi
i am trying to make a small mdoification to and exisiting dll control,
in its source code.
Im trying to expose one of its internal properties so the user can set
it in the ide at designtime, but the property consists of enumerated
constants used in bit operations, and when the values are exposed they
show up as integers instead of the text contstants listed
EG
//Initial value
private int dwFlags = Gdi.PFD_DRAW_TO _WINDOW |
Gdi.PFD_SUPPORT _OPENGL | Gdi.PFD_DOUBLEB UFFER;
// I expose the property to the ide user here
#region DWFlags
/// <summary>
/// sets the OpenGL control's Flag properties.
/// </summary>
[Category("OpenG L Properties"), Description("Fl ag
properties.")]
public String DWFlags {
get {
return dwFlags);
}
set {
dwFlags = value);
}
}
#endregion DWFlags
When you see it in the ide the DWFlags value shows as 37, but i want
it to show as
PFD_DRAW_TO_WIN DOW | PFD_SUPPORT_OPE NGL | PFD_DOUBLEBUFFE R;
in the control field.
I also want the user to be able to enter the flags as the above text,
even adding more flags to also be used in this bit operation and have
it translated or sent to the control in form that it can be used.
the flags are used in the following opengl structure
Gdi.PIXELFORMAT DESCRIPTOR pfd = new Gdi.PIXELFORMAT DESCRIPTOR();// The
pixel format descriptor
pfd.nSize = (short) Marshal.SizeOf( pfd);
// Size of the pixel format descriptor
pfd.nVersion = 1;
// Version number (always 1)
--------------->>>i want to replace this line bellow
pfd.dwFlags =Gdi.PFD_DRAW_T O_WINDOW |
Gdi.PFD_SUPPORT _OPENGL | Gdi.PFD_DOUBLEB UFFER;
----------------------------->>> with pfd.dwFlags = dwFlags;
pfd.iPixelType = (byte) Gdi.PFD_TYPE_RG BA;
etc etc etc etc
You can see the flags are enumerated constants from opengl
Can anyone help please on how i can pass these flag data beckwards and
forwards to the control and have the user edit it, and still have it
come back and be usuable in the structure
thanks for any help

OK, you have an odd combination of int, string (so that your posted
code doesn't compile), and what perhaps could be an enum. Realistic
code would help people give a realistic answer!
However; *assuming* that Gdi doesn't declare a suitable enum, I would
simply do it myself; the following does most of what you want. If you
want a check-box style value-editor, then you'll need to add a custom
[Editor]; I'm pretty certain you could pick up a popup (or pop-down)
check-box style editor easily enough (it would take about 10 minutes
to write one from scratch).
If you don't want to go down the enum route, then you'd need to write
a TypeConverter, and specify this against the property; then you can
handle the parsing and formatting yourself - but I'd recommend using
enum!
Of course, if the "Gdi" class is declared in your project, then simply
define the enum values directly. Note that you can cast directly from
enum to/from int to get the int value to pass to whatever needs it.
using System;
using System.Componen tModel;
using System.Windows. Forms;
static class Program {
static void Main() {
Application.Ena bleVisualStyles ();
using(Form form = new Form())
using (PropertyGrid grid = new PropertyGrid()) {
grid.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
grid.SelectedOb ject = new SomeClass();
form.Controls.A dd(grid);
Application.Run (form);
}
}
}
[Flags]
enum GdiDwFlags {
None = 0,
DrawToWindow = Gdi.PFD_DRAW_TO _WINDOW,
SupportOpenGl = Gdi.PFD_SUPPORT _OPENGL,
DoubleBuffer = Gdi.PFD_DOUBLEB UFFER
}
static class Gdi { // I'm making up the values... presumably defined
externally
public const int PFD_DRAW_TO_WIN DOW = 1, PFD_SUPPORT_OPE NGL = 2,
PFD_DOUBLEBUFFE R = 4;
}
class SomeClass {
private GdiDwFlags dwFlags = GdiDwFlags.Draw ToWindow |
GdiDwFlags.Supp ortOpenGl | GdiDwFlags.Doub leBuffer;
[Category("OpenG L Properties"), Description("Fl ag properties.")]
public GdiDwFlags DWFlags {
get {return dwFlags;}
set {dwFlags = value;}
}
}
Hi Marc
thankyou for your effort, i apollogies my description of what i was
after was realy bad.
I will repost my question with a better explanation
Peted
especially in the adding of events to the button click
b.Click += delegate { OnValueSelected (); };
This is an anonymous method; it is equivalent to having:
public void OKButtonClicked (object sender, EventArgs args) {
OnValueSelected (); // raise the ValueSelected event
}
and using
b.Click += new EventHandler(OK ButtonClicked);
Basically, it just saves me some typing, which I consider a good thing.
thanks heaps

I am currently writing a program and I am trying to create a property for a custom control that can be set a value of either 'linear' or 'traditional' in the properties window in design time from an enumerated type storing 1 or 0 but I just can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas anyone out there.
Thanks

Hello,
The following program compiler and runs fine under gcc and produces
the output 3. However, I am not sure whether such behavior is legal.
In particular, as a related question, how would I go about checking
that a supplied integer is contained within the set of values of an
enumeration? Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,

I'm using an enumerated type to identify a record type that relates to a
unique ID in a database. Identity columns in SQL start at 1, while
enumerated types in C# start at 0. I didn't think it would be a big
deal because I could just force the values of the enum to start at 1.
Database:

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