DataSourceDesigner.ActionLists Property
Definition
Important

Gets a list of items that are used to create an action list menu at design time.
public:
virtual property System::ComponentModel::Design::DesignerActionListCollection ^ ActionLists { System::ComponentModel::Design::DesignerActionListCollection ^ get(); };
public override System.ComponentModel.Design.DesignerActionListCollection ActionLists { get; }
member this.ActionLists : System.ComponentModel.Design.DesignerActionListCollection
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property ActionLists As DesignerActionListCollection
Property Value
A DesignerActionListCollection object containing the action list items for the control designer.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how to create a simple composite control with a Label control and a TextBox control, along with properties to set the Text
properties on both internal controls, as well as the Width and BackColor properties of the TextBox control. An associated control designer class creates three DesignerActionMethodItem commands, each of which sets two properties on the control, and whose settings can be rolled back with the undo functionality in the design host. Although the code example does not use a custom DataSourceControl object, it illustrates how to override the ActionLists property.

Notes to Inheritors
When you create a custom class that is derived from the DataSourceDesigner class, you must override the ActionLists property. In your override method, first call the base class to create the default DesignerActionListCollection object, and then add a custom list of actions that are specific to your class.
