Hi all,

I created a new control derived from UserControl class. For this new control
I added some new properties. How can I show only these new properties for
this control at design time in PropertyGrid control?

Thanks,
Dan

In your designer class, have a look at overriding the PreFilterProperties
method. This allows you to remove properties from the property grid.

[code]
protected override void
PreFilterProperties(System.Collections.IDictionary properties) {
base.PreFilterProperties(properties);

properties.Remove("AccessibleDescription");
properties.Remove("AccessibleName");
properties.Remove("AccessibleRole");
}
[/code]

Hi
this is good for classes that has a visual design-mode interface. They must
have a Designer attribute. But what's about a class that does NOT has
Designer attribute?
.c.

Hi Carlo, I am not sure if this will work, but you could override all
the base class properties in your derived class and attach the
attribute which makes them invisible in the Property Grid.

I looked it up and the attribute that you can add to the Overriding
properties in the derived class would be [Browsable(false)]

My control inherited some properties like Location, Size. How can I override
these properties in my derived class?
I removed "Location" properties for my control by overiding
PreFilterProperties function but in this case I'm not able to move my
control using. All the time the location will be (0, 0).
