Displaying property menu at runtime
in [Visual Basic]
|
From: avi on 19 Jul 2010 12:30 Hello, Is there a way to display at runtime the property menu of a control so that the user may interact with the control? In my case, I'm speaking about the MsChart control which has a property menu at the design phase (when picking "properties" after right clicking on the control) Thanks Avi

(There's a difference between a dialog box and a menu.) I'm not sure if there's an EASY way to do this, but I'm sure it's POSSIBLE.

I have trouble imagining for what possible purpose such a call might be made? To set design-time properties on a control that's already instantiated??? -- ..NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org

Actually, I want to give the user at runtime a dialog for changing most of the properties of the chart related to its apperance. It happens that the dialog displayed at the design phase when clicking "properties" is exactly what I want to present to the user and I was thinking at a way to use it for that new purpose If there is a way to disclose all the code behind the dialog, I can of course easily build one of my one I hope that my request is cleare now Thanks Avi |
