Remarks

The ToolboxService class is a partial implementation of the IToolboxService interface. To use this implementation you must derive from this class and implement the abstract methods. Once implemented, you may add this class to your designer application's service container. There should be one toolbox service for each designer application.

ToolboxService provides much of the complex logic of creating a toolbox service, but requires that you define the storage containers for categories and items. This allows for simple toolboxes or very complex ones.

Constructors

ToolboxService()

Initializes a new instance of the ToolboxService class.

Properties

CategoryNames	Gets a collection of strings depicting available categories of the toolbox.
SelectedCategory	Gets or sets the name of the currently selected category.
SelectedItemContainer	Gets or sets the currently selected item container.

Methods

CreateItemContainer(IDataObject)	Creates a new toolbox item container from a saved data object.
CreateItemContainer(ToolboxItem, IDesignerHost)	Creates a new toolbox item container from a toolbox item.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
FilterChanged()	Occurs when the toolbox service detects that the active designer's toolbox item filter has changed.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetItemContainers()	Returns an IList containing all items on the toolbox.
GetItemContainers(String)	Returns an IList containing all items in a given category.
GetToolboxItem(Type, Boolean)	Returns a toolbox item for a given type.
GetToolboxItem(Type)	Returns a toolbox item for a given type.
GetToolboxItems(Assembly, String, Boolean)	Returns an ICollection of ToolboxItem objects for the given assembly.
GetToolboxItems(Assembly, String)	Returns an ICollection containing all the toolbox items in the given assembly.
GetToolboxItems(AssemblyName, Boolean)	Returns an ICollection of ToolboxItem objects for the given assembly.
GetToolboxItems(AssemblyName)	Returns an ICollection of ToolboxItem objects for the given assembly.
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
IsItemContainer(IDataObject, IDesignerHost)	Returns a value indicating whether the given data object represents an item container.
IsItemContainerSupported(ToolboxItemContainer, IDesignerHost)	Determines whether the toolbox item container is supported by the given designer host.
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
Refresh()	Refreshes the state of the toolbox items.
SelectedItemContainerUsed()	Receives a call from the toolbox service when a user reports that a selected toolbox item has been used.
SetCursor()	Sets the current application's cursor to a cursor that represents the currently selected tool.
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
UnloadToolboxItems()	Unloads any assemblies that were locked as a result of calling the GetToolboxItems method.
