Examples

The following code example demonstrates accessing the DesignerOptionService to display the current values of the standard options.

using System.Drawing;
using System.Data;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Windows.Forms.Design;

    // designer option service values in design mode.

Remarks

The DesignerOptionService class provides a collection of options. Each of these option collections has an indexer that enables it to be further filtered. Each option collection contains its own set of options, as well as a rollup of all of its child options. In the event of a naming conflict between properties, the outermost options object takes precedence. The following Tools | Options user interface (UI) structure shows how the outermost options object takes on greater importance:

WindowsFormsDesigner | General

  • SnapToGrid

  • ShowGrid

  • GridSize

Given a IDesignerOptionService named service, to get to the value of the GridSize property, you would make the following call:

// Obtains and shows the size of the standard design-mode grid square.
System::Drawing::Size size =  *dynamic_cast<System::Drawing::Size^>(designerOptionService->GetOptionValue( "WindowsFormsDesigner\\General", "GridSize" ));
// Obtains and shows the size of the standard design-mode grid square.
Size size = (Size)designerOptionService.GetOptionValue("WindowsFormsDesigner\\General", "GridSize");
' Obtains and shows the size of the standard design-mode grid square.
Dim size As Size = CType(designerOptionService.GetOptionValue("WindowsFormsDesigner\General", "GridSize"), Size)

This works, until you want to move GridSize to another page. Also, IDesignerOptionService provides no discovery mechanism. If you do not know what string to pass in, the service cannot find the property value.

The DesignerOptionService class addresses these issues. You can query collections, and there is a type converter defined on the DesignerOptionService.DesignerOptionCollection object that marks the collection as expandable. With this type converter, you can pass the entire designer option service to a property window and visually inspect the service.
