DesignerActionTextItem Class
Represents a static text item on a smart tag panel.
Assembly: System.Design (in System.Design.dll)
The DesignerActionTextItem class represents individual static text items in a smart tag panel. Individual items are associated together to form a panel by returning the group from a call to the GetSortedActionItems method.
Most commonly, a static text item is used to create an informative label in a panel. Clicking on a static text item causes no action. The derived type DesignerActionHeaderItem is typically used to create labels to separate categories.
The following code example demonstrates how to create a collection of DesignerActionItem objects.
For a full example of implementing smart tags, see How to: Attach Smart Tags to a Windows Forms Component.
Public Overrides Function GetSortedActionItems() _ As DesignerActionItemCollection Dim items As New DesignerActionItemCollection() 'Define static section header entries. items.Add(New DesignerActionHeaderItem("Appearance")) items.Add(New DesignerActionHeaderItem("Information")) 'Boolean property for locking color selections. items.Add(New DesignerActionPropertyItem( _ "LockColors", _ "Lock Colors", _ "Appearance", _ "Locks the color properties.")) If Not LockColors Then items.Add( _ New DesignerActionPropertyItem( _ "BackColor", _ "Back Color", _ "Appearance", _ "Selects the background color.")) items.Add( _ New DesignerActionPropertyItem( _ "ForeColor", _ "Fore Color", _ "Appearance", _ "Selects the foreground color.")) 'This next method item is also added to the context menu ' (as a designer verb). items.Add( _ New DesignerActionMethodItem( _ Me, _ "InvertColors", _ "Invert Colors", _ "Appearance", _ "Inverts the fore and background colors.", _ True)) End If items.Add( _ New DesignerActionPropertyItem( _ "Text", _ "Text String", _ "Appearance", _ "Sets the display text.")) 'Create entries for static Information section.
