Custom Control Property Question

[Ed Bick]

I built a custom control. It has one custom property that I created
exposed. What I want to do though is to have the property show as a
dropdown with only a limited number of choices for settings. An example
would be the dropdown style of a combo box. The designer can only select
one of three previously defined options and can not type anything arbitrary
in.

Can anyone explain how to do that?

Yes, you need to create an Enumeration, or Enum, containing the possible
values for your property. Then, you change the property type to that
enumeration:

Public Enum MyPropVals
Value1
Value2
Value3
End Enum

'===
Public Property MyProp() As MyPropVals
Get
Return m_PropLocal
End Get
Set (ByVal Value As MyPropVals)
m_PropLocal = Value
End Set
End Property
