'Declaration
Public NotInheritable Class AnchorEditor _
	Inherits UITypeEditor
'Usage
Dim instance As AnchorEditor

The AnchorEditor provides a design-time user interface for configuring an Anchor property. An Anchor property is typically used to determine which sides of the container a control is bound to. This class provides a drop-down graphical control that allows the user to specify which sides of the container to anchor the control to.

The following code example uses an EditorAttribute to associate the AnchorEditor with a property.

<EditorAttribute(GetType(System.Windows.Forms.Design.AnchorEditor), GetType(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))>  _
Public Property testAnchor() As System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles
   Get 
      Return anchor
   End Get 
   Set
      anchor = value
   End Set 
End Property 
Private anchor As AnchorStyles
