Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to create your own class based on the Behavior class that responds to user clicks. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the BehaviorService class.


// By providing our own behavior we can do something
// interesting when the user clicks or manipulates our glyph.
public  ref class DemoBehavior : public Behavior
{
public:
    bool OnMouseUp(Glyph^ g, MouseButtons^ button)
    {
        MessageBox::Show("Hey, you clicked the mouse here");

        // indicating we processed this event.
        return true;
    }
};

public ref class DemoGlyph : public Glyph
{
    Control^ control;
    BehaviorService^ behavior;

public:
    DemoGlyph(BehaviorService^ behavior, Control^ control):
      Glyph(gcnew BehaviorServiceSample::DemoBehavior)
      {
          this->behavior = behavior;
          this->control = control;
      }

public:
    virtual property Rectangle Bounds
    {
        Rectangle get() override
        {
            // Create a glyph that is 10x10 and sitting
            // in the middle of the control.  Glyph coordinates
            // are in adorner window coordinates, so we must map
            // using the behavior service.
            Point edge = behavior->ControlToAdornerWindow(control);
            Size size = control->Size;
            Point center = Point(edge.X + (size.Width / 2),
                edge.Y + (size.Height / 2));

Remarks

This class can be extended to develop any type of user interface behavior, including selection, drag, and resize behaviors.

For more information, see Behavior Service Overview.

Note

Your Behavior type must be associated with a Glyph type. Glyph-independent behaviors are not supported.

Constructors

Behavior()	Initializes a new instance of the Behavior class.
Behavior(Boolean, BehaviorService)	Initializes a new instance of the Behavior class with the given BehaviorService.

Properties

Cursor	Gets the cursor that should be displayed for this behavior.
DisableAllCommands	Gets a value indicating whether MenuCommand objects should be disabled.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
FindCommand(CommandID)	Intercepts commands.
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
OnDragDrop(Glyph, DragEventArgs)	Permits custom drag-and-drop behavior.
OnDragEnter(Glyph, DragEventArgs)	Permits custom drag-enter behavior.
OnDragLeave(Glyph, EventArgs)	Permits custom drag-leave behavior.
OnDragOver(Glyph, DragEventArgs)	Permits custom drag-over behavior.
OnGiveFeedback(Glyph, GiveFeedbackEventArgs)	Permits custom drag-and-drop feedback behavior.
OnLoseCapture(Glyph, EventArgs)	Called by the adorner window when it loses mouse capture.
OnMouseDoubleClick(Glyph, MouseButtons, Point)	Called when any double-click message enters the adorner window of the BehaviorService.
OnMouseDown(Glyph, MouseButtons, Point)	Called when any mouse-down message enters the adorner window of the BehaviorService.
OnMouseEnter(Glyph)	Called when any mouse-enter message enters the adorner window of the BehaviorService.
OnMouseHover(Glyph, Point)	Called when any mouse-hover message enters the adorner window of the BehaviorService.
OnMouseLeave(Glyph)	Called when any mouse-leave message enters the adorner window of the BehaviorService.
OnMouseMove(Glyph, MouseButtons, Point)	Called when any mouse-move message enters the adorner window of the BehaviorService.

OnQueryContinueDrag(Glyph, QueryContinueDragEventArgs)	Sends this drag-and-drop event from the adorner window to the appropriate Behavior or hit-tested Glyph.
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
