ControlDesigner.ActionLists Property

Definition

Gets the action list collection for the control designer.

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 that contains the DesignerActionList items for the control designer.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to create a simple composite control with a Label and a TextBox control, together with properties to set the Text properties on both internal controls, and also 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 can be rolled back with the undo functionality of the design host.
