Examples

The following code example provides a PropertyValueUIItem object for any properties of the component named HorizontalMargin or VerticalMargin. The PropertyValueUIItem for these properties provides an image, a ToolTip, and an event handler that displays a message box when the image for the property is clicked. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the IPropertyValueUIService interface.

// PropertyValueUIHandler delegate that provides PropertyValueUIItem
// objects to any properties named HorizontalMargin or VerticalMargin.
private void marginPropertyValueUIHandler(
    System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext context,
    System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptor propDesc,
    ArrayList itemList)
{
    // A PropertyValueUIHandler added to the IPropertyValueUIService
    // is queried once for each property of a component and passed
    // a PropertyDescriptor that represents the characteristics of 
    // the property when the Properties window is set to a new 
    // component. A PropertyValueUIHandler can determine whether 
    // to add a PropertyValueUIItem for the object to its ValueUIItem 
    // list depending on the values of the PropertyDescriptor.
    if (propDesc.DisplayName.Equals("HorizontalMargin"))
    {
        Image img = Image.FromFile("SampImag.jpg");
        itemList.Add(new PropertyValueUIItem(img, new PropertyValueUIItemInvokeHandler(this.marginInvoke), "Test ToolTip"));
    }
    if (propDesc.DisplayName.Equals("VerticalMargin"))
    {
        Image img = Image.FromFile("SampImag.jpg");
        img.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipNone);
        itemList.Add(new PropertyValueUIItem(img, new PropertyValueUIItemInvokeHandler(this.marginInvoke), "Test ToolTip"));
    }
}
