Procedura: creare e configurare componenti in modalità progettazione

La finestra di progettazione personalizzata consente di creare e configurare a livello di codice i componenti nell'area di progettazione.

Esempio

Nell'esempio di codice riportato di seguito viene illustrato come utilizzare i servizi di progettazione e inizializzare i componenti nella finestra di progettazione personalizzata. Una classe di progettazione denominata DemoControlDesigner è associata a una classe DemoControl ed effettua le seguenti operazioni:

  • Crea e configura un componente Timer per la visualizzazione nell'area di progettazione.

  • Rimuove un componente Timer dall'area di progettazione.

  • Inizializza un'istanza della classe DemoControl quando essa viene creata dalla Casella degli strumenti.

È possibile creare e configurare un componente richiedendo un'istanza dall'ambiente di progettazione e impostandone le proprietà. È inoltre possibile configurare un componente creato dalla Casella degli strumenti.

Creazione e configurazione di un componente a livello di codice

Nell'esempio di codice riportato di seguito viene chiamato il metodo CreateComponent per creare un componente Timer. Il componente Timer viene inizializzato impostandone le proprietà Interval e Enabled.

Nell'esempio viene inoltre utilizzato il metodo GetEventProperty per collegare un gestore eventi.

            t.Enabled = True 

            Dim eventColl As EventDescriptorCollection = TypeDescriptor.GetEvents(t, New Attribute(-1) {})

Inizializzazione di un componente creato dalla Casella degli strumenti

È inoltre possibile configurare i componenti quando vengono creati dalla Casella degli strumenti. Implementare una classe ToolboxItem personalizzata ed eseguire l'override del metodo CreateComponentsCore.

' Toolbox items must be serializable.
<Serializable(), _
System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSetAttribute(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Name:="FullTrust"), _
System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSetAttribute(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Name:="FullTrust")> _
Class DemoToolboxItem
    Inherits ToolboxItem

    ' The add components dialog in VS looks for a public 
    ' ctor that takes a type. 
    Public Sub New(ByVal toolType As Type)
        MyBase.New(toolType)
    End Sub 'New 


    ' And you must provide this special constructor for serialization. 
    ' If you add additional data to MyToolboxItem that you 
    ' want to serialize, you may override Deserialize and 
    ' Serialize methods to add that data.   
    Sub New(ByVal info As SerializationInfo, ByVal context As StreamingContext)
        Deserialize(info, context)
    End Sub 'New 


    ' This implementation sets the new control's Text and  
    ' AutoSize properties. 
    Protected Overrides Function CreateComponentsCore(ByVal host As IDesignerHost, ByVal defaultValues As IDictionary) As IComponent()

        Dim comps As IComponent() = MyBase.CreateComponentsCore(host, defaultValues)

        ' The returned IComponent array contains a single  
        ' component, which is an instance of DemoControl. 
        CType(comps(0), DemoControl).Text = "This text was set by CreateComponentsCore." 
        CType(comps(0), DemoControl).AutoSize = True 

        Return comps
    End Function 
End Class
    // Toolbox items must be serializable.
    [Serializable]
    [System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSetAttribute(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Name="FullTrust")]
    [System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSetAttribute(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Name="FullTrust")]
    class DemoToolboxItem : ToolboxItem
    {
        // The add components dialog in VS looks for a public 
        // ctor that takes a type. 
        public DemoToolboxItem(Type toolType)
            : base(toolType)
        {
        }

        // And you must provide this special constructor for serialization. 
        // If you add additional data to MyToolboxItem that you 
        // want to serialize, you may override Deserialize and 
        // Serialize methods to add that data.  
        DemoToolboxItem(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)
        {
            Deserialize(info, context);
        }

        // This implementation sets the new control's Text and  
        // AutoSize properties. 
        protected override IComponent[] CreateComponentsCore(
            IDesignerHost host, 
            IDictionary defaultValues)
        {

            IComponent[] comps = base.CreateComponentsCore(host, defaultValues);

            // The returned IComponent array contains a single  
            // component, which is an instance of DemoControl.
            ((DemoControl)comps[0]).Text = "This text was set by CreateComponentsCore.";
            ((DemoControl)comps[0]).AutoSize = true;

            return comps;
        }
    }

Collegare il componente alla classe ToolboxItem utilizzando ToolboxItemAttribute.

<DesignerAttribute(GetType(DemoControlDesigner)), _
ToolboxItem(GetType(DemoControl.DemoToolboxItem))> _
Public Class DemoControl
    Inherits Label
[DesignerAttribute(typeof(DemoControlDesigner))]
[ToolboxItem(typeof(DemoToolboxItem))]
public class DemoControl : Label
{

Compilazione del codice

Quando si apportano modifiche agli aspetti relativi alla progettazione di un componente, è necessario ricompilare il progetto di controllo. Se inoltre è aperto un altro progetto Windows Form che utilizza questo componente, è probabile che sarà necessario aggiornare il progetto per visualizzare le modifiche. Di norma, è necessario chiudere e riaprire la finestra di progettazione contenente il componente.
