I am trying to add custom snaplines to a UserControl, but I can't find any examples or documentation covering snaplines.
A simple example: I would like to create a compound UserControl, containing two controls: Label1 and TextBox1. Then the Parenting UserControl should expose the snaplines of each child control, or, rather, a subset of those.
The docs, as always, are a bit behind the implementation - that should be rectified in the next beta release.
For now, here's a quick sample for you, from the owning feature PM MHarsh:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Windows.Forms.Design;
using System.Windows.Forms.Design.Behavior;
namespace WindowsApplication1
{
partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void snaplineControl1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{}
}
[ Designer( typeof( SnaplineControlDesigner ) ) ]
public class SnaplineControl : UserControl
{}
public class SnaplineControlDesigner : ControlDesigner
{
public override IList SnapLines
{
get
{
ArrayList snapLines = base.SnapLines as ArrayList;
snapLines.Add(
new SnapLine( SnapLineType.Baseline, 5, SnapLinePriority.Medium ) );
return snapLines;
}
}
}
}
