ComponentDesigner.PostFilterAttributes Method

Allows a designer to change or remove items from the set of attributes that it exposes through a TypeDescriptor.

[Visual Basic]
Protected Overridable Sub PostFilterAttributes( _
   ByVal attributes As IDictionary _
)
[C#]
protected virtual void PostFilterAttributes(
 IDictionary attributes
);
[C++]
protected: virtual void PostFilterAttributes(
 IDictionary* attributes
);
[JScript]
protected function PostFilterAttributes(
   attributes : IDictionary
);

Parameters

attributes
The attributes for the class of the component.

Remarks

This method provides a way to change or remove the items within the dictionary of attributes that are exposed through a TypeDescriptor.

The keys in the dictionary of attributes are the type identifers of the attributes, as specified by the value of their TypeId property. The objects are of type PropertyDescriptor. This method is called immediately after PreFilterAttributes.

Notes to Implementers:  You can directly filter the dictionary that is accessible through the attributes parameter, or you can leave it unchanged. If you override this method, call the base implementation after you perform your own filtering.
