ISelectionService Interface

Definition

Provides an interface for a designer to select components.

Examples

The following example demonstrates use of the ISelectionService to handle the SelectionChanged and SelectionChanging events.

#using <System.Windows.Forms.dll>
#using <System.dll>
#using <System.Drawing.dll>

using namespace System;

using namespace System::ComponentModel::Design;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;

/*  This sample demonstrates using the ISelectionService
interface to receive notification of selection change events.  
The SelectionComponent control attempts to retrieve an instance 
of the ISelectionService when it is sited. If it can, it attaches 
event handlers for events provided by the service that display
a message when a component is selected or deselected.

To run this sample, add the SelectionComponent control to a Form and
then select or deselect components in design mode to see the behavior 
of the component change event handlers. */
