User Control Properties

[sjn78]

I am making a control and have a couple of different options for it in the properties. This all works, but I am trying to find out how to make a certain option appear under a certain tab, eg Appearance, Bahaviour etc. I can only seem to get it to appear in the Misc tab.

 

Thanks

try this:

 

using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class MyUserControl:Control
{
   [b][Category("Appearance")][/b]
   public Color myColorProperty
   {
       get{return base.ForeColor;}
       set{base.ForeColor = value;}
   }
}

Imports System
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Windows.Forms

Public Class MyUserConrol
  Inherits Control

   [b]<Category("Appearance")> _[/b]
   Public Property myColorProperty() As Color
       Get
           Return MyBase.ForeColor
       End Get
       Set(ByVal Value As Color)
           MyBase.ForeColor = Value
       End Set
   End Property
End Class

 

Hope this helps!
