CreateUserWizardDesigner.UsePreviewControl Property

protected:
 virtual property bool UsePreviewControl { bool get(); };

protected override bool UsePreviewControl { get; }

member this.UsePreviewControl : bool

Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property UsePreviewControl As Boolean

Property Value

Always true.

Remarks

When the value of the UsePreviewControl property is true, the designer uses a temporary copy of the wizard control to generate the design-time HTML; when the value of UsePreviewControl is false, the designer uses the wizard control itself to generate the design-time HTML.

The value of UsePreviewControl modifies the return value of the designer's ViewControl property. When UsePreviewControl is true, ViewControl returns a copy of the wizard control. When UsePreviewControl is false, ViewControl returns the wizard control itself.

If the wizard control is marked with a class-level SupportsPreviewControlAttribute attribute, the SupportsPreviewControlAttribute is ignored, because the value of UsePreviewControl is always true.

Notes to Inheritors

You can override the UsePreviewControl property to return false or to determine its value based on whether the wizard control is marked with a class-level SupportsPreviewControlAttribute. If the UsePreviewControl is not overridden, the designer ignores the SupportsPreviewControlAttribute.
