方法: Windows フォーム コントロールに属性を適用する

デザイン環境と正しく対話し、実行時に正常に実行されるコンポーネントとコントロールを開発するには、クラスとメンバーに属性を正しく適用する必要があります。

例

次のコード例は、カスタム コントロールでいくつかの属性を使用する方法を示しています。 このコントロールは、単純なログ記録機能を示します。 コントロールがデータ ソースにバインドされると、データ ソースから送信された値が DataGridView コントロールに表示されます。 値が Threshold プロパティで指定された値を超えると、ThresholdExceeded イベントが発生します。

AttributesDemoControl によって、LogEntry クラスを持つ値がログされます。 LogEntry クラスはテンプレート クラスであり、ログに記録される型でパラメーター化されることを意味します。 たとえば、AttributesDemoControl によって型が float の値がログに記録されている場合、LogEntry の各インスタンスは次のように宣言されて使用されます。

// This method handles the timer's Elapsed event. It queries
// the performance counter for the next value, packs the
// value in a LogEntry object, and adds the new LogEntry to
// the list managed by the BindingSource.
private void timer1_Elapsed(
    object sender,
    System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{	
    // Get the latest value from the performance counter.
    float val = this.performanceCounter1.NextValue();

    // The performance counter returns values of type float,
    // but any type that implements the IComparable interface
    // will work.
    LogEntry<float> entry = new LogEntry<float>(val, DateTime.Now);

    // Add the new LogEntry to the BindingSource list.
    this.bindingSource1.Add(entry);
}

' This method handles the timer's Elapsed event. It queries
' the performance counter for the next value, packs the 
' value in a LogEntry object, and adds the new LogEntry to
' the list managed by the BindingSource.
 Private Sub timer1_Elapsed( _
 ByVal sender As Object, _
 ByVal e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs) _
 Handles timer1.Elapsed

     ' Get the latest value from the performance counter.
     Dim val As Single = Me.performanceCounter1.NextValue()

     ' The performance counter returns values of type float, 
     ' but any type that implements the IComparable interface
     ' will work.
     Dim entry As LogEntry(Of Single) = _
     New LogEntry(Of Single)(val, DateTime.Now)

     ' Add the new LogEntry to the BindingSource list.
     Me.bindingSource1.Add(entry)
 End Sub

AttributesDemoControl がホストされるフォームでは、パフォーマンス カウンターを定期的に照会します。 各値は、適切な型の LogEntry にパッケージ化され、フォームの BindingSource に追加されます。 AttributesDemoControl では、データ バインディングを通じて値を受け取り、その値を DataGridView コントロールに表示します。

                Dim le As LogEntry(Of T) = CType(value, LogEntry(Of T))

                Dim stringRepresentation As String = String.Format("{0} | {1}", le.Entry, le.EntryTime)

メンバーレベルの属性

一部の属性はメンバー レベルで適用されます。 次のコード例は、Windows フォームのコントロールのプロパティに一般的に適用されるいくつかの属性を示します。

[Category("Appearance")]
[Description("The title of the log data.")]
[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Visible)]
[Localizable(true)]
[HelpKeywordAttribute("AttributesDemoControlLibrary.AttributesDemoControl.TitleText")]
public string TitleText
{
    get
    {
        return this.label1.Text;
    }

    set
    {
        this.label1.Text = value;
    }
}

<Category("Appearance"), _
Description("The title of the log data."), _
DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Visible), Localizable(True), _
HelpKeywordAttribute("AttributesDemoControlLibrary.AttributesDemoControl.TitleText")> _
Public Property TitleText() As String
    Get
        Return Me.label1.Text
    End Get

    Set(ByVal value As String)
        Me.label1.Text = value
    End Set
End Property

AmbientValue 属性

次の例は AmbientValueAttribute を示し、デザイン環境との相互作用をサポートするコードを示しています。 この相互作用は "アンビエンス" と呼ばれています。

[AmbientValue(typeof(Color), "Empty")]
[Category("Appearance")]
[DefaultValue(typeof(Color), "White")]
[Description("The color used for painting alert text.")]
public Color AlertForeColor
{
    get
    {
        if (this.alertForeColorValue == Color.Empty &&
            this.Parent != null)
        {
            return Parent.ForeColor;
        }

        return this.alertForeColorValue;
    }

    set
    {
        this.alertForeColorValue = value;
    }
}

// This method is used by designers to enable resetting the
// property to its default value.
public void ResetAlertForeColor()
{
    this.AlertForeColor = AttributesDemoControl.defaultAlertForeColorValue;
}

// This method indicates to designers whether the property
// value is different from the ambient value, in which case
// the designer should persist the value.
private bool ShouldSerializeAlertForeColor()
{
    return (this.alertForeColorValue != AttributesDemoControl.ambientColorValue);
}

<AmbientValue(GetType(Color), "Empty"), _
Category("Appearance"), _
DefaultValue(GetType(Color), "White"), _
Description("The color used for painting alert text.")> _
Public Property AlertForeColor() As Color
    Get
        If Me.alertForeColorValue = Color.Empty AndAlso (Me.Parent IsNot Nothing) Then
            Return Parent.ForeColor
        End If

        Return Me.alertForeColorValue
    End Get

    Set(ByVal value As Color)
        Me.alertForeColorValue = value
    End Set
End Property

' This method is used by designers to enable resetting the
' property to its default value.
Public Sub ResetAlertForeColor()
    Me.AlertForeColor = AttributesDemoControl.defaultAlertForeColorValue
End Sub

' This method indicates to designers whether the property
' value is different from the ambient value, in which case
' the designer should persist the value.
Private Function ShouldSerializeAlertForeColor() As Boolean
    Return Me.alertForeColorValue <> AttributesDemoControl.ambientColorValue
End Function

データバインディングの属性

次の例は、複合データ バインディングの実装を示します。 前に示したクラスレベルの ComplexBindingPropertiesAttribute では、データ バインディングに使用する DataSource プロパティと DataMember プロパティを指定します。 AttributeProviderAttribute では、DataSource プロパティがバインドされる型を指定します。

[Category("Data")]
[Description("Indicates the source of data for the control.")]
[RefreshProperties(RefreshProperties.Repaint)]
[AttributeProvider(typeof(IListSource))]
public object DataSource
{
    get
    {
        return this.dataGridView1.DataSource;
    }

    set
    {
        this.dataGridView1.DataSource = value;
    }
}

<Category("Data"), _
Description("Indicates the source of data for the control."), _
RefreshProperties(RefreshProperties.Repaint), _
AttributeProvider(GetType(IListSource))> _
Public Property DataSource() As Object
    Get
        Return Me.dataGridView1.DataSource
    End Get

    Set(ByVal value As Object)
        Me.dataGridView1.DataSource = value
    End Set
End Property

[Category("Data")]
[Description("Indicates a sub-list of the data source to show in the control.")]
public string DataMember
{
    get
    {
        return this.dataGridView1.DataMember;
    }

    set
    {
        this.dataGridView1.DataMember = value;
    }
}

<Category("Data"), _
Description("Indicates a sub-list of the data source to show in the control.")> _
Public Property DataMember() As String
    Get
        Return Me.dataGridView1.DataMember
    End Get

    Set(ByVal value As String)
        Me.dataGridView1.DataMember = value
    End Set
End Property
