make a property can only be set at design time

Hi,

Is that possible to make a property to be set only at design time, not later
in code.

I need this function is because that for a self definded control, if I want
to use it on a form, the auto-generated code only take the constructor which
with no parameters.

Thanks,
Ryan Liu

Hi
You can use DesignTime property of the UserControl for example in the
following code snippet when setting the value of Caption property, you
must checking if it's design time or not:

Private m_caption As String
Public Property Caption() As String
Get
Return m_caption
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
If Me.DesignMode Then
m_caption = value
End If
End Set
End Property

I hope this helps

I have included below virtually all the code to a control I'm trying to build.

For some reason, if I changed update the Tab property of the control through the GUI at design...

Hello i have made a custom control. i have placed a panel on it. I want this panel to behave just like the normal panel. The problem i was having is that the panel on my custom control doesnt accept other controls. The control i drag drop on it becomes the child of my custom control's parent form and not the child of my custom control. Then i added this line "" before my custom control class (i dont know what this line does). Now

I am looking for a way to hide a property I created on a user control from a property grid at runtime but allow it to be seen at design time. Any ideas? I tried setting the category of the property to 'Design' and that does not do it. I tried adding the 'DesignOnly' attribute and that does not do it.

Hi group, I'm trying to inherit from the windows checkbox control. This is no problem. My goal is to add a property that is based on an enum. When I have an enum declared within the class, it works correctly, however, my enum is declared in a referenced assembly. The form cannot load the enum from the referenced assembly, it indicates that it can't load the type. using VB, VS2005.

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