The following example marks a property as browsable.
<Browsable(True)> _
Public Property MyProperty() As Integer
Get
' Insert code here.
Return 0
End Get
Set
' Insert code here.
End Set
End Property
[Browsable(true)]
public int MyProperty {
get {
// Insert code here.
return 0;
}
set {
// Insert code here.
}
}
public:
[Browsable(true)]
property int MyProperty
{
int get()
{
// Insert code here.
return 0;
}
void set( int value )
{
// Insert code here.
}
}
/** @attribute Browsable(true)
*/
/** @property
*/
public int get_MyProperty()
{
// Insert code here.
return 0;
} //get_MyProperty
/** @property
*/
public void set_MyProperty(int value)
{
// Insert code here.
} //set_MyProperty
Browsable(true)
public function get MyProperty() : int {
// Insert code here.
return 0;
}
public function set MyProperty(value : int) {
}
The next example shows how to check the value of the BrowsableAttribute for MyProperty. First, the code gets a PropertyDescriptorCollection with all the properties for the object. Next, the code indexes into the PropertyDescriptorCollection to get MyProperty. Then it returns the attributes for this property and saves them in the attributes variable.
The example presents two different ways of checking the value of the BrowsableAttribute. In the second code fragment, the example calls the Equals method. In the last code fragment, the example uses the Browsable property to check the value.
' Gets the attributes for the property.
Dim attributes As AttributeCollection = _
TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(Me)("MyProperty").Attributes
' Checks to see if the value of the BrowsableAttribute is Yes.
If attributes(GetType(BrowsableAttribute)).Equals(BrowsableAttribute.Yes) Then
' Insert code here.
End If
' This is another way to see whether the property is browsable.
Dim myAttribute As BrowsableAttribute = _
CType(attributes(GetType(BrowsableAttribute)), BrowsableAttribute)
If myAttribute.Browsable Then
' Insert code here.
End If
// Gets the attributes for the property.
AttributeCollection attributes =
TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(this)["MyProperty"].Attributes;
// Checks to see if the value of the BrowsableAttribute is Yes.
if(attributes[typeof(BrowsableAttribute)].Equals(BrowsableAttribute.Yes)) {
// Insert code here.
}
// This is another way to see whether the property is browsable.
BrowsableAttribute myAttribute =
(BrowsableAttribute)attributes[typeof(BrowsableAttribute)];
if(myAttribute.Browsable) {
// Insert code here.
}
// Gets the attributes for the property.
AttributeCollection^ attributes = TypeDescriptor::GetProperties( this )[ "MyProperty" ]->Attributes;
// Checks to see if the value of the BrowsableAttribute is Yes.
if ( attributes[ BrowsableAttribute::typeid ]->Equals( BrowsableAttribute::Yes ) )
{
// Insert code here.
}
// This is another way to see whether the property is browsable.
BrowsableAttribute^ myAttribute = dynamic_cast<BrowsableAttribute^>(attributes[ BrowsableAttribute::typeid ]);
if ( myAttribute->Browsable )
{
// Insert code here.
}
// Gets the attributes for the property.
AttributeCollection attributes = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(this).
get_Item("MyProperty").get_Attributes();
// Checks to see if the value of the BrowsableAttribute is Yes.
if (attributes.get_Item(BrowsableAttribute.class.ToType()).Equals(
BrowsableAttribute.Yes)) {
// Insert code here.
}
// This is another way to see whether the property is browsable.
BrowsableAttribute myAttribute = (BrowsableAttribute)
(attributes.get_Item(BrowsableAttribute.class.ToType()));
if (myAttribute.get_Browsable()) {
// Insert code here.
}
// Gets the attributes for the property.
var attributes : AttributeCollection =
TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(this)["MyProperty"].Attributes;
// Checks to see if the value of the BrowsableAttribute is Yes.
if(attributes[BrowsableAttribute].Equals(BrowsableAttribute.Yes)) {
Console.WriteLine("MyProperty is browsable.");
}
// This is another way to see whether the property is browsable.
var myAttribute : BrowsableAttribute =
BrowsableAttribute(attributes[BrowsableAttribute]);
if(myAttribute.Browsable) {
Console.WriteLine("MyProperty is browsable.");
}
If you marked a class with the BrowsableAttribute, use the following code to check the value.
Dim attributes As AttributeCollection = TypeDescriptor.GetAttributes(MyProperty)
If attributes(GetType(BrowsableAttribute)).Equals(BrowsableAttribute.Yes) Then
' Insert code here.
End If
AttributeCollection attributes =
TypeDescriptor.GetAttributes(MyProperty);
if(attributes[typeof(BrowsableAttribute)].Equals(BrowsableAttribute.Yes)) {
// Insert code here.
}
AttributeCollection^ attributes = TypeDescriptor::GetAttributes( MyProperty );
if ( attributes[ BrowsableAttribute::typeid ]->Equals( BrowsableAttribute::Yes ) )
{
// Insert code here.
}
AttributeCollection attributes =
TypeDescriptor.GetAttributes((Int32)get_MyProperty());
if (attributes.get_Item(BrowsableAttribute.class.ToType()).Equals(
BrowsableAttribute.Yes)) {
// Insert code here.
}
var attributes : AttributeCollection =
TypeDescriptor.GetAttributes(MyProperty);
if(attributes[BrowsableAttribute].Equals(BrowsableAttribute.Yes)) {
Console.WriteLine("MyProperty is browsable.");
}
