IExtenderProvider Interface
Defines the interface for extending properties to other components in a container.
Assembly: System (in System.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | CanExtend(Object^) | Specifies whether this object can provide its extender properties to the specified object. |
An extender provider is a component that provides properties to other components. For example, the ToolTip control is an extender provider. When you add a ToolTip control to a Form, all other controls on the form have a ToolTip property added to their list of properties.
Any component that provides extender properties must implement IExtenderProvider. A visual designer can then call CanExtend to determine which objects in a container should receive the extender properties.
For more information about extender providers, see How to: Implement an Extender Provider.
The following code example demonstrates how to implement the IExtenderProvider interface. This example is part of a larger example discussed in How to: Implement a HelpLabel Extender Provider.
