User Control with Combobox like property

[EFileTahi-A]

I need to customize a property for my UserControl, but I need the property to have several choices inside a combobox, like TextAlignment property, where you have already 3 options (Left, Center, Right) to choose from.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thank you

Could you not just define an enum containing the valid options and use that as the data type for the property?

Well, how do I do that? Could you show me a small example?

 

enum myEnum { one, two, three };

public myEnum TEST
{
   get
   {
       return myEnum;
   }
   set
   {
       myEnum.one = value;
   }
}

 

Needless to say the above code does not work. How do I assign a selected value to a enum and how do I read from it?

 

Thank you

public enum myEnum { one, two, three };

       private myEnum _test;
       public myEnum TEST
       {
           get
           {
               return _test;
           }
           set
           {
               _test = value;
           }
       }

should do the trick

It worked like a charm!

 

Thanks again!
