ToolboxItemCreatorCallback Delegate

Definition

Provides a callback mechanism that can create a ToolboxItem.

public delegate System::Drawing::Design::ToolboxItem ^ ToolboxItemCreatorCallback(System::Object ^ serializedObject, System::String ^ format);
public delegate System.Drawing.Design.ToolboxItem ToolboxItemCreatorCallback(object serializedObject, string format);
type ToolboxItemCreatorCallback = delegate of obj * string -> ToolboxItem
Public Delegate Function ToolboxItemCreatorCallback(serializedObject As Object, format As String) As ToolboxItem 

Parameters

serializedObject
Object

The object which contains the data to create a ToolboxItem for.

format
String

The name of the clipboard data format to create a ToolboxItem for.

Return Value

The deserialized ToolboxItem object specified by serializedObject.

Examples

The following example provides a component that uses the IToolboxService to add a "Text" data format handler, or ToolboxItemCreatorCallback, to the toolbox. The data creator callback delegate passes any text data pasted to the toolbox and dragged onto a form to a custom ToolboxItem that creates a TextBox containing the text.

Remarks

You can implement a toolbox item creator method with a method signature matching the method signature of this delegate type that creates a toolbox item from any object of a particular clipboard data format placed on the toolbox. For example, you can design a toolbox item creator that creates a TextBox to store text pasted to the toolbox from the clipboard. You can use the AddCreator method of the IToolboxService to add a ToolboxItemCreatorCallback event handler for a particular data type to the toolbox. The serializedObject parameter contains the data object.

When you create a ToolboxItemCreatorCallback delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event handler delegates, see Handling and Raising Events.

Extension Methods

GetMethodInfo(Delegate)

Gets an object that represents the method represented by the specified delegate.
