ControlDesigner.AutoFormats Property

Definition

Gets the collection of predefined automatic formatting schemes to display in the Auto Format dialog box for the associated control at design time.

public:
 virtual property System::Web::UI::Design::DesignerAutoFormatCollection ^ AutoFormats { System::Web::UI::Design::DesignerAutoFormatCollection ^ get(); };
public virtual System.Web.UI.Design.DesignerAutoFormatCollection AutoFormats { get; }
member this.AutoFormats : System.Web.UI.Design.DesignerAutoFormatCollection
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property AutoFormats As DesignerAutoFormatCollection

Property Value

A DesignerAutoFormatCollection object that contains the predefined schemes for the control.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to implement the AutoFormats property in a custom control designer. The derived control designer implements the AutoFormats property by adding three instances of a custom automatic format that are derived from the DesignerAutoFormat class.

Remarks

A complete Web server control includes not only the control, but also, possibly, a corresponding control designer class that is derived from the ControlDesigner class and a formatting class that is derived from the DesignerAutoFormat class. The AutoFormats property is a collection of instances of the DesignerAutoFormat class. For a working example of automatic formatting in Visual Studio 2005, see Calendar.

Notes to Inheritors

Controls that automatically expose AutoFormats get a task list and context commands for their formats. When you are using automatic formats, use the ViewControl property to set the properties in your callback function.
