| MetafileEditor |
Provides a UITypeEditor that can perform default file searching for metafile (.emf) files. |
| PaintValueEventArgs |
Provides data for the PaintValue(Object, Graphics, Rectangle) method. |
| PropertyValueUIItem |
Provides information about a property displayed in the Properties window, including the associated event handler, pop-up information string, and the icon to display for the property. |
| ToolboxComponentsCreatedEventArgs |
Provides data for the ComponentsCreated event that occurs when components are added to the toolbox. |
| ToolboxComponentsCreatingEventArgs |
Provides data for the ComponentsCreating event that occurs when components are added to the toolbox. |
| ToolboxItem |
Provides a base implementation of a toolbox item. |
| ToolboxItemCollection |
Represents a collection of toolbox items. |
| ToolboxItemContainer |
Encapsulates a ToolboxItem. |
| ToolboxItemCreator |
Encapsulates a ToolboxItemCreatorCallback. This class cannot be inherited. |
| ToolboxService |
Provides a default implementation of the IToolboxService interface. |
| UITypeEditor |
Provides a base class that can be used to design value editors that can provide a user interface (UI) for representing and editing the values of objects of the supported data types. |
Interfaces
| IPropertyValueUIService |
Provides an interface to manage the images, ToolTips, and event handlers for the properties of a component displayed in a property browser. |
| IToolboxItemProvider |
Exposes a collection of toolbox items. |
| IToolboxService |
Provides methods and properties to manage and query the toolbox in the development environment. |
| IToolboxUser |
Defines an interface for setting the currently selected toolbox item and indicating whether a designer supports a particular toolbox item. |
Enums
| UITypeEditorEditStyle |
Specifies identifiers that indicate the value editing style of a UITypeEditor. |
Delegates
| PropertyValueUIHandler |
Represents the method that adds a delegate to an implementation of IPropertyValueUIService. |
| PropertyValueUIItemInvokeHandler |
Represents the method that will handle the InvokeHandler event of a PropertyValueUIItem. |
| ToolboxComponentsCreatedEventHandler |
Represents the method that handles the ComponentsCreated event. |
| ToolboxComponentsCreatingEventHandler |
Represents the method that handles the ComponentsCreating event. |
| ToolboxItemCreatorCallback |
Provides a callback mechanism that can create a ToolboxItem. |
Remarks
The classes in this namespace can be used to create custom toolbox items, type-specific value editors that can edit and graphically represent values of their supported types, and type converters that can convert values between certain types. This namespace provides the basic frameworks for developing extensions to the design-time UI.
Caution
Classes within the System.Drawing.Design namespace are not supported for use within a Windows or ASP.NET service. Attempting to use these classes from within one of these application types may produce unexpected problems, such as diminished service performance and run-time exceptions.
