CustomControls Sample Application (Editor Controls)

Programming languages

VB.NET, C#

Overview

This sample explorer allows you to browse through various custom editors and view the code that was required to create them.

These samples demonstrate how to:

Custom Calendar

Derive from the WinCalendar class
Override the DefaultShowPreviewDays property to prevent, by default, preview days from being displayed in the calendar months.
Override the OnPaintDayBackground method to paint an image in the background of specific days.
Override the OnPaintDay method to (optionally) paint the text of the day.

Custom DatePicker

This class demonstrates how to create a custom UserControl which shows the WinDatePicker control using a WinCheckBox control to choose a null date.

Optional TextBox

Create a custom UserControl which allows text to be entered in a WinTextBox control only when the WinCheckBox control contained in the WinTextBox control is enabled.
Handle the CheckChanged and Click events of the WinCheckBox control.

Option Picker

Create a custom dropdown control using the WinCheckBox and WinTextBox classes.

PictureViewer - ISupportIntegralResizing Interface Implementation

Create a custom UserControl which implements the ISupportIntegralResizing interface. The ISupportIntegralResizing interface implementation allows for the DropDownControl to be resized picture by picture rather than pixel by pixel.

Scrolling TextBox

Create a custom UserControl which allows text to be entered and scrolled through using the embedded WinButton controls.

Spin Edit

Create a custom UserControl which mimics the NumericUpDown control using a WinTextBox control which contains 2 WinButton controls.

Customized WinComboBox DropDown Control

Customize the WinComboBox control's dropdown control (Xceed.Grid.GridControl) to allow grouping and sorting.
