![]() | DesignerActionItem(String^, String^, String^) | Initializes a new instance of the DesignerActionItem class. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | AllowAssociate | Gets or sets a value indicating whether to allow this item to be placed into a group of items that have the same Category property value. |
![]() | Category | Gets the group name for an item. |
![]() | Description | Gets the supplemental text for the item. |
![]() | DisplayName | Gets the text for this item. |
![]() | Properties | Gets a reference to a collection that can be used to store programmer-defined key/value pairs. |
![]() | ShowInSourceView | Gets or sets a value that indicates whether this item appears in source code view. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object^) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize() | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.) |

The DesignerActionItem class serves as an abstract base for classes that represent individual panel items in a smart tag panel, which represents a menu-like user interface (UI) for smart tags. The .NET Framework supplies derived classes that represent the different common entries in a smart tag panel, including plain text, header text, properties and methods of the associated DesignerActionList class, and designer verbs.
Typically, your DesignerAction feature is defined in a programmer-supplied class derived from DesignerActionList, which contains a GetSortedActionItems method that groups individual panel items together to form the smart tag panel. The DesignerActionPropertyItem and DesignerActionMethodItem types are associated with members of the class derived from DesignerActionList, and DesignerActionMethodItem objects are activated when their associated panel entry is selected by the user.
Note |
|---|
Forms and dialog boxes can be displayed by members of the class derived from DesignerActionList. By default, the parent of these windows will be the container window for the smart tag panel. Explicitly parenting these child windows to another service or window may cause items to display improperly. |
The following code example demonstrates how to create a collection of DesignerActionItem objects.
