NotifyParentPropertyAttribute Class

.NET Framework (current version)

Other Versions

Indicates that the parent property is notified when the value of the property that this attribute is applied to is modified. This class cannot be inherited.

Namespace: System.ComponentModel
Assembly: System (in System.dll)

Inheritance Hierarchy

System::Object
System::Attribute
System.ComponentModel::NotifyParentPropertyAttribute

Syntax

C++

[AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets::Property)]
public ref class NotifyParentPropertyAttribute sealed : Attribute

Constructors

	Name	Description
	NotifyParentPropertyAttribute(Boolean)	Initializes a new instance of the NotifyParentPropertyAttribute class, using the specified value to determine whether the parent property is notified of changes to the value of the property.

Properties

	Name	Description
	NotifyParent	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the parent property should be notified of changes to the value of the property.
	TypeId	When implemented in a derived class, gets a unique identifier for this Attribute.(Inherited from Attribute.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals(Object^)	Gets a value indicating whether the specified object is the same as the current object.(Overrides Attribute::Equals(Object^).)
	GetHashCode()	Gets the hash code for this object.(Overrides Attribute::GetHashCode().)
	GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)
	IsDefaultAttribute()	Gets a value indicating whether the current value of the attribute is the default value for the attribute.(Overrides Attribute::IsDefaultAttribute().)
	Match(Object^)	When overridden in a derived class, returns a value that indicates whether this instance equals a specified object.(Inherited from Attribute.)
	ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)

Fields

	Name	Description
	Default	Indicates the default attribute state, that the property should not notify the parent property of changes to its value. This field is read-only.
	No	Indicates that the parent property is not be notified of changes to the value of the property. This field is read-only.
	Yes	Indicates that the parent property is notified of changes to the value of the property. This field is read-only.

Explicit Interface Implementations

	Name	Description
	_Attribute::GetIDsOfNames(Guid%, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)	Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.(Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute::GetTypeInfo(UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)	Retrieves the type information for an object, which can be used to get the type information for an interface.(Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute::GetTypeInfoCount(UInt32%)	Retrieves the number of type information interfaces that an object provides (either 0 or 1).(Inherited from Attribute.)
	_Attribute::Invoke(UInt32, Guid%, UInt32, Int16, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr, IntPtr)	Provides access to properties and methods exposed by an object.(Inherited from Attribute.)

Apply NotifyParentPropertyAttribute to a property if its parent property should receive notification of changes to the property's values. For example, in the Properties window, the DataGridView::RowTemplate property has nested properties such as Height and DefaultCellStyle. These nested properties are marked with NotifyParentPropertyAttribute(true) so they notify the parent property to update its value and display when the property values change.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the NotifyParentPropertyAttribute and the ExpandableObjectConverter class to create an expandable property on a custom control.
