Hi,

I am developing a component implementing IExtenderProvider with a
property ImagePosition. For this propery i want to create a custom type
editor but the problem is that when you implement IExtenderProvider you
craete properties as methods e.g instead of property

[Editor(typeof(MyCustomTypeEditor))]
public object ImagePosition
{
    get {}
    set {}
}

i have to create two functions GetImagePosition and SetImagePosition, so
i don't know how to specify that i want to use my type editor.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Andrey

Hi Andrey,

Yes, when we implement IExtenderProvider in a class, we must define a set
of properties that the extender can provide to other components. The
properties are really methods because they take an extra parameter that
specifies the component to apply the property to.

If you want to associate a custom type editor to the properties that are
provided to other components, just associate the EditorAttribute to the
GetPropertyName method. In your scenario, it is GetImagePosition method.
The following is a sample.

[Editor(typeof(MyCustomTypeEditor))]
public object GetImagePosition()
{
         .....
}

Thus, select a component which has the extender properties on the form at
design time, and you will see your custom type editor is available in the
extender properties nodes in the Properties Explorer.

Hope this helps.
If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
