ToolStripControlHost.Control Property
Gets the Control that this ToolStripControlHost is hosting.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Property Value
Type: System.Windows.Forms.ControlThe Control that this ToolStripControlHost is hosting.
The following code example demonstrates constructing a ToolStripControlHost control and sets a property on the wrapped control using the Control property. To run this example, paste the code into a form that contains a ToolStrip named toolStrip1 and call InitializeDateTimePickerHost from the form's constructor or the Load event handler.
ToolStripControlHost dateTimePickerHost; private void InitializeDateTimePickerHost() { // Create a new ToolStripControlHost, passing in a control. dateTimePickerHost = new ToolStripControlHost(new DateTimePicker()); // Set the font on the ToolStripControlHost, this will affect the hosted control. dateTimePickerHost.Font = new Font("Arial", 7.0F, FontStyle.Italic); // Set the Width property, this will also affect the hosted control. dateTimePickerHost.Width = 100; dateTimePickerHost.DisplayStyle = ToolStripItemDisplayStyle.Text; // Setting the Text property requires a string that converts to a // DateTime type since that is what the hosted control requires. dateTimePickerHost.Text = "12/23/2005"; // Cast the Control property back to the original type to set a // type-specific property. ((DateTimePicker)dateTimePickerHost.Control).Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Short; // Add the control host to the ToolStrip. toolStrip1.Items.Add(dateTimePickerHost); }
