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

The ControlDesigner class and any derived class defines the AutoFormats property as a DesignerAutoFormatCollection object. Control developers can override the AutoFormats property in a derived control designer, add custom automatic formatting styles, and return the collection of supported formats to the visual designer.

The collection dynamically increases as objects are added. Indexes in this collection are zero-based. Use the Count property to determine how many automatic style formats are in the collection.

Additionally, use the DesignerAutoFormatCollection methods and properties to provide the following functionality:

The Add method to add a single format to the collection.
The Insert method to add a format at a particular index within the collection.
The Remove method to remove a format.
The RemoveAt method to remove the format at a particular index.
The Contains method to determine whether a particular format is already in the collection.
The IndexOf method to retrieve the index of a format within the collection.
The Item[] property to get or set the format at a particular index, using array notation.
The Clear method to remove all formats from the collection.
The Count property to determine the number of formats in the collection.
The IndexOf method to get the position of a format within the collection.

Constructors

DesignerAutoFormatCollection()

Initializes a new instance of the DesignerAutoFormatCollection class.

Properties

Count	Gets the number of DesignerAutoFormat objects in the collection.
Item[Int32]	Gets or sets a DesignerAutoFormat object at the specified index in the collection.
PreviewSize	Gets the maximum outer dimensions of the control as it will appear at run time.
SyncRoot	Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the DesignerAutoFormatCollection object.

Methods

Add(DesignerAutoFormat)	Adds the specified DesignerAutoFormat object to the end of the collection.
Clear()	Removes all formats from the collection.
Contains(DesignerAutoFormat)	Determines whether the specified format is contained within the collection.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)

ICollection.IsSynchronized	Gets a value that indicates whether access to the collection is synchronized (thread safe) when the DesignerAutoFormatCollection object is cast to an ICollection interface.
IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()	Returns an IEnumerator interface that iterates through the collection when the DesignerAutoFormatCollection object is cast to an IEnumerable interface.
IList.Add(Object)	Adds an item to the collection when the DesignerAutoFormatCollection object is cast to an IList interface.
IList.Contains(Object)	Determines whether the collection contains a specific value when the DesignerAutoFormatCollection object is cast to an IList interface.
IList.IndexOf(Object)	Determines the index of a specific item in the collection when the DesignerAutoFormatCollection object is cast to an IList interface.
IList.Insert(Int32, Object)	Inserts an item into the collection at the specified index when the DesignerAutoFormatCollection object is cast to an IList interface.
IList.IsFixedSize	Gets a value that indicates whether the collection has a fixed size when the DesignerAutoFormatCollection object is cast to an IList interface.
IList.IsReadOnly	For a description of this method, see IsReadOnly.
IList.Item[Int32]	Gets the element at the specified index when the DesignerAutoFormatCollection object is cast to an IList interface.
IList.Remove(Object)	Removes the first occurrence of a specific object from the collection when the DesignerAutoFormatCollection object is cast to an IList interface.
IList.RemoveAt(Int32)	Removes the item at the specified index when the DesignerAutoFormatCollection object is cast to an IList interface.

Extension Methods

Cast<TResult>(IEnumerable)	Casts the elements of an IEnumerable to the specified type.
OfType<TResult>(IEnumerable)	Filters the elements of an IEnumerable based on a specified type.
AsParallel(IEnumerable)	Enables parallelization of a query.
AsQueryable(IEnumerable)	Converts an IEnumerable to an IQueryable.
