Examples
The following code example demonstrates the use of the GetService method to access designer services.
' This utility method connects the designer to various
' services it will use.
Private Sub InitializeServices()
' Acquire a reference to DesignerActionService.
Me.actionService = GetService(GetType(DesignerActionService))
' Acquire a reference to DesignerActionUIService.
Me.actionUiService = GetService(GetType(DesignerActionUIService))
' Acquire a reference to IComponentChangeService.
Me.changeService = GetService(GetType(IComponentChangeService))
' Hook the IComponentChangeService events.
If (Me.changeService IsNot Nothing) Then
AddHandler Me.changeService.ComponentChanged, AddressOf ChangeService_ComponentChanged
AddHandler Me.changeService.ComponentAdded, AddressOf ChangeService_ComponentAdded
AddHandler Me.changeService.ComponentRemoved, AddressOf changeService_ComponentRemoved
End If
' Acquire a reference to ISelectionService.
Me.selectionService = GetService(GetType(ISelectionService))
' Hook the SelectionChanged event.
If (Me.selectionService IsNot Nothing) Then
AddHandler Me.selectionService.SelectionChanged, AddressOf selectionService_SelectionChanged
End If
' Acquire a reference to IDesignerEventService.
Me.eventService = GetService(GetType(IDesignerEventService))
If (Me.eventService IsNot Nothing) Then
AddHandler Me.eventService.ActiveDesignerChanged, AddressOf eventService_ActiveDesignerChanged
End If
' Acquire a reference to IDesignerHost.
Me.host = GetService(GetType(IDesignerHost))
' Acquire a reference to IDesignerOptionService.
Me.optionService = GetService(GetType(IDesignerOptionService))
' Acquire a reference to IEventBindingService.
Me.eventBindingService = GetService(GetType(IEventBindingService))
' Acquire a reference to IExtenderListService.
Me.listService = GetService(GetType(IExtenderListService))
' Acquire a reference to IReferenceService.

' Acquire a reference to IToolboxService.
Me.toolboxService = GetService(GetType(IToolboxService))
' Acquire a reference to UndoEngine.
Me.undoEng = GetService(GetType(UndoEngine))
If (Me.undoEng IsNot Nothing) Then
MessageBox.Show("UndoEngine")
