User-control with multiple control containers - design-time issue (mimicing the TabControl)
Posted by Olaf Rabbachin at 4/23/2008 9:29:57 AM
Hi everybody, I'm working on a user-control whose behaviour is identical to the TabControl. That is, there is an area in which the active sub-container (i.e. TabPage) can be selected plus an area in which users drop controls at design time. Browsing the web I found a couple of articles that...more >>

Hi Schneider, Thank you for your reply! I'm sorry but I have to say that there may no automated way to override/intercept all root designers including pre-existing. Custom code dom serializer only works on a derived class. For example, Form A has a custom code dom serializer and Form B ...more >>

Posted by v-lliu@online.microsoft.com at 4/17/2008 10:13:28 AM
Hi Schneider, Thank you for your reply! For existing root designers, you need to derive the exiting Forms from the base Form which is adorned with the custom type codedom serializer. That's to say, change the base class of the existing Forms from System.Windows.Forms.Form to MyCustomForm...more >>

I have a form (Form1) that has a DataGridView control on it. I inherited another form (Form2) from Form1. When I go to change some properties of the DataGridView control on Form2 I see all DataGridView properties and events are grayed out in the designer Properties window. Also, I changed the ...more >>

Hi Schneider, I got a reply from an expert in the WinForm design time field. He said that to control the code generation of a root object like a form, we need to derive from the TypeCodeDomSerializer class to implement the code generation we like. Then add a DesignerSerializerAttribute to...more >>

Hi Schneider, Thank you for your prompt reply! A custom CodeDomSerializer for a control can only control the generation of the control initialization code, which don't contain the code that adds the control to its parent's Controls collection, e.g. a form. So I also think that we need t...more >>

Hi Schneider, You need to implement a custom CodeDomSerializer to control the generation of component initialization code for your custom control/component at design time. And then associate your custom CodeDomSerializer implementation with the type of your control/component using a Desig...more >>

Hi Patricio, Thank you for your prompt reply and sample project! The reason why the CustomType property doesn't allow the user to select a value in the Properties window is that the CustomType type is neither a control nor a component. If you derive the class CustomType from the Contro...more >>
