Public Overridable ReadOnly Property ConfigureVerb As WebPartVerb

Property Value

WebPartVerb

A WebPartVerb used to open the Configure Connections section in the connection UI.

Attributes: PersistenceModeAttribute

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of the ConfigureVerb property with a ConnectionsZone control. The example contains only the code for the Web page that demonstrates use of the property; for the other two code files needed to run the example, see the Example section of the ConnectionsZone class overview. The code example has four parts:

A user control that enables you to switch display modes on the Web page. Obtain this code from the ConnectionsZone class overview.
A source file that contains the code for a ZIP Code interface, and two WebPart controls acting as the provider and the consumer for a connection. Obtain this code from the ConnectionsZone class overview.
A Web page that hosts all the controls, declares an <asp:connectionszone> element, and shows how to use the property declaratively and programmatically.
An explanation of how the example works in a browser.

The Web page declares an <asp:connectionszone> element, and within the element, it declares a <configureverb> element and sets a property using attributes. Also, in the Page_PreRender method, the code sets a property on the configure verb for the ConnectionsZone control.

Load the page in a browser. Switch to connect mode, using the Display Mode control. Click the verbs menu arrow on the ZIP Code Provider control, and click the connect verb. Notice that there is an End Connection button to disconnect the controls that are already connected, and a disabled Configure button. If your code example used a transformer that included a configuration wizard, the Configure button would be enabled, and users could click it to configure the connection. If you position your mouse pointer over the Configure button in the connection UI, the custom description text appears in a ToolTip.

Remarks

The configure verb appears in the Manage Connections section of the connection UI, when a connection already exists and a user has opened the connection UI. The UI presents users with an End Connection button to end the connection, and a Configure button (which represents the configure verb) to configure the connection. If a user clicks the Configure button, the Configure Connections section of the UI appears, enabling users to configure the connection. This option to configure a connection (and hence the Configure button) is enabled only when the connection uses a transformer, and the transformer includes a configuration wizard control (Wizard) that enables it to be configured by users. For details, see the WebPartTransformer class.

Use the ConfigureVerb property to get a reference to the corresponding WebPartVerb object in the UI. Although the property itself is read-only, after you have a reference to the verb, you can change its property values as needed.

You can set the property values of the configure verb declaratively, by declaring the <configureverb> element within the tags of an <asp:connectionszone> element. The properties of the verb can be set declaratively in the form Property-Subproperty, where Subproperty is a property of the WebPartVerb object (for example, ConfigureVerb-Text). You can also set the properties programmatically in the form Property.Subproperty (for example, ConfigureVerb.Text).
