ActivityDesigner.Verbs Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Design

Assembly:

System.Workflow.ComponentModel.dll

Gets the collection of verbs to be associated with the designer.

C#

protected virtual System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Design.ActivityDesignerVerbCollection Verbs { get; }

Property Value

ActivityDesignerVerbCollection

The collection of verbs to be associated with the designer.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to override the Verbs property to insert custom verb actions for a ActivityPreviewDesigner. The CreateActivityVerbs creates a new ActivityDesignerVerb named "Add New Parallel Branch" and associates an event handler named OnAddParallelBranch. When the verb is clicked in the workflow designer, the event handler is called.

C#

private ActivityDesignerVerbCollection verbs = null;

protected override ActivityDesignerVerbCollection Verbs
{
    get
    {
        if (this.verbs == null)
            CreateActivityVerbs();

        return this.verbs;
    }
}

private void CreateActivityVerbs()
{
    this.verbs = new ActivityDesignerVerbCollection();

    ActivityDesignerVerb addBranchVerb = new ActivityDesignerVerb(this,
        DesignerVerbGroup.View, "Add New Parallel Branch", new EventHandler(OnAddParallelBranch));
    this.verbs.Clear();

    this.verbs.Add(addBranchVerb);
}

protected void OnAddParallelBranch(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Code for adding a new branch to the parallel activity goes here
}

Remarks

Use the Verbs method to determine the verbs to show on the Context Menu.
