Examples

The following code example shows how to use the ToolboxBrowsableAttribute to enable visibility for a custom control in a designer's toolbox browser.

' Container for any general design-time metadata to initialize. 
' Designers look for a type in the design-time assembly that  
' implements IRegisterMetadata. If found, designers instantiate  
' this class and call its Register() method automatically. 
Friend Class Metadata
    Implements IRegisterMetadata

    ' Called by the designer to register any design-time metadata. 
    Public Sub Register() Implements IRegisterMetadata.Register
        Dim builder As New AttributeTableBuilder()

        builder.AddCustomAttributes( _
            GetType(ButtonWithDesignTime), _
            New ToolboxBrowsableAttribute(True))

        MetadataStore.AddAttributeTable(builder.CreateTable())

    End Sub 
End Class

// Container for any general design-time metadata to initialize. 
// Designers look for a type in the design-time assembly that  
// implements IRegisterMetadata. If found, designers instantiate  
// this class and call its Register() method automatically. 
internal class Metadata : IRegisterMetadata
{
    // Called by the designer to register any design-time metadata. 
    public void Register()
    {
        AttributeTableBuilder builder = new AttributeTableBuilder();

        builder.AddCustomAttributes(
            typeof(ButtonWithDesignTime),
            new ToolboxBrowsableAttribute(true));

        MetadataStore.AddAttributeTable(builder.CreateTable());
    }
}
