Design Time Control Property Option

[Tomislav Markovski]

Hello,
How can I add a link to a control which appears in the
Propery tab during design-time for a certain control. For
example, something like the SqlDataAdapter has link
options for "Configure Data Adapter", "Generate DataSet"
etc. The links that appear at the bottom where Property
Description appears.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,

you must create a designer (derive from ControlDesigner)
for that class and then override the Verbs property. Here
you can add DesignerVerbs that have a name (the one you
see as a link) and an event handler. Then apply the
designer to your class using the DesignerAttribute.
The links will also appear in the context menu at design
time when you right click the control...

regards,
Iulian
