Hello,
does anyone know how to produce a data type which offers Enum-like
IntelliSense in VS 2005?
What I am trying to create is a type which is very similar to an enum, i.e.
has a fixed set of values, but provides some more methods. Unfortunately,
you cannot derive from System.Enum to do this.
I noticed that if you type "Dim C as System.Drawing. Color = ", the editor
will display a list of colors, but this are actually ReadOnly Shared
Properties of the Color structure. So there must be a way to map structure
members to enum constants...
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks in advance!

Hello again,
did you find anything out about the ColorConverter?
I tried to create such a converter for my class too (by looking at the
disassembly for ColorConverter) , but it still doesn't have the same
IntelliSense as Color.
I also first thought about this attribute, but the fact the IntelliSense
tooltip reads "Public Shared Property ..." puzzles me... because the
TypeConvertes does not seem to provide this information.
And the ColorEditor appears even more unlikely to me.
After all, the same IntelliSense works for System.Drawing. Brush, and this
class has no attributes at all.
Seems there is some kind of magic going on in VS...
Regards,
Michael

I have not tried it, I suspect its the ColorConverter that is attached to
the Color structure via the TypeConverterAt tribute. Of course it may be
one of the other custom attributes attached to the Color structure, such
as the EditorAttribute ...
I would expect that the ColorConverter. GetStandardValu es is the method
returning the values...
However I have only used type converters in relation to the Property Grid
in .NET 1.1, I don't know specifically if their use has been expanded to
the IDE in VS 2005 (.NET 2.0) it would be cool if they were.
If I have time later today, I will play with creating a converter... This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi everyone.
My question is, why are data structures implemented only with struct
data type?
Why not union when it is more efficient as compared with structures?
Thanks in advance

If a class inherits from another class, say Form inherits from control, then
I can assign the Form to a variable of type Control without needing an
explicit conversion, eg
Form1 f = new Form1();
Control c = f;
An enum value inherits from int but it doesn't get implicitly converted:
HorizontalAlignment h = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

I want to create a User Defined "Type" (structure, class or
enumeration). I'm not sure what it should be or where it should
reside. I'll use Enum for this example.

Hi,
I downloaded and tried the ENUM++ code from CUJ
http://www.cuj.com/documents/s=8470/cujboost0306besser/
but can't even get it to compile (see following). I
have also downloaded and installed the boost library.
This is using gcc under FC3.

Hi, everyone,
I'm writing a program to discover wireless network
using Windows Native Wifi API & VB.net.
I have to declare the windows API in my VB.net program.
The original windows declaration is as below.
The problem is in "struct _WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK_LIST",
it declared "WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK Network;".
I think which means a Network array of struct WLAN_AVAILABLE_NETWORK.

Can you make volatile structures in C#?
I have a static class, to have "global" variables. This allows the
whole program to see them. I make them "volatile" to avoid multi-
threading accessing issues.
That works.
THE PROBLEM: In that static class, I want to combine some variables
inside a structure, and then make a variable of that structure type,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
