protected:
 virtual void Initialize(System::Workflow::ComponentModel::Activity ^ activity);

protected virtual void Initialize(System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Activity activity);

abstract member Initialize : System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Activity -> unit
override this.Initialize : System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Activity -> unit

Protected Overridable Sub Initialize (activity As Activity)

Parameters

activity: Activity

The Activity with which the designer should be initialized.

Examples

The following example shows how to override the base class implementation of the Initialize method. The Initialize method in this example is loading a Bitmap object from an embedded resource. The ToolboxImage resource is the Image that is used when the base ActivityDesigner class draws the custom ActivityDesigner.

protected override void Initialize(Activity activity)
{
    base.Initialize(activity);
    Bitmap bmp = Resources.ToolboxImage;
    bmp.MakeTransparent();
    this.Image = bmp;
}

Protected Overrides Sub Initialize(ByVal activity As Activity)

    MyBase.Initialize(activity)
    Dim bmp As Bitmap = Resources.ToolboxImage
    bmp.MakeTransparent()
    Me.Image = bmp
End Sub

Remarks

Initialize loads the designer with the Activity specified. The designer loads the Activity service, updates the verbs associated with the activity and assigns the default text and image to the designer.
