Control usage question

[Horatiu Ripa]

1. I have an image list defined in a control
2. I want to expose trough properties the image list in a manner to be able
to change it from the container where the control is used.

How do I do that?

Re: Control usage question

Use a property

public ImageList ControlImageLis t
{
get
{
return imageList;
}
}

ImageList is a class and so a reference type. This means, once you get the
reference to the image list object, you can modify it however you want.

Re: Control usage question

Let's be more clear:
I've made:

public System.Windows. Forms.ImageList Buttons_Image_l ist
{ get {return buttonsImageLis t;}
set {buttonsImageLi st = value;} }

results:
I've modify the property Buttons_Image_l ist property of my control (in designer, used in the container) to an image list defined there; nothing hapened or on the design or runtime.

If I put above the property definition:
[DesignerSeriali zationVisibilit y(DesignerSeria lizationVisibil ity.Content)] to change the default serialization from Visible to content, it initially displays the correct image list at design and runtime, but at the second build (run) , I receive an error:
"There is already a component named 'myImageList'. Components must have unique names, and names must be case-insensitive. A name also cannot conflict with the name of any component in an inherited class."

Any ideas????

Re: Control usage question

I guess I'd need some code snippets to figure out the problem. Also, where
did "myImageLis t" come from?

All properties are serialized by default to code and so, you wouldn't need
the "DesignerSerial izationVisibili ty" attribute at all.

Re: Control usage question


myImageList is the ImageList defined in the form where I use the control.
My knowkedge is that "DesignerSerial izationVisibili ty" default for a public
property is "view". Anyhow it does not work at all, with or whithout
DesignerSeriali zationVisibilit y attribute set to view. The only way it works
is, as I mentioned below, with
[DesignerSeriali zationVisibilit y(DesignerSeria lizationVisibil ity.Content)]
but only for the first time.

I'm suspecting the property designer - code generator to have some bug...
