DesignerActionUIService Class

You can control the display of your designer's ActionLists with the DesignerActionUIService class. DesignerActionUIService provides a straightforward interface for displaying the items for each component, including the following methods and events:

• The ShowUI and HideUI methods display and hide the items for a component.

• The DesignerActionUIStateChange event indicates when the UI changes for a component.

Use the DesignerActionService to manage the DesignerActionList collections associated with your component.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Refresh method to update a smart tag panel. This example is part of a larger example available in the DesignerActionService class overview.

// Boolean properties are automatically displayed with binary 
// UI (such as a checkbox).
public bool LockColors
{
    get
    {
        return colLabel.ColorLocked;
    }
    set
    {
        GetPropertyByName("ColorLocked").SetValue(colLabel, value);

        // Refresh the list.
        this.designerActionUISvc.Refresh(this.Component);
    }
}
