Fontinfo expand/collapse

[Shawn Meyer]

I added a fontinfo property to a custom control

public FontInfo TitleFont
{
get { return _title_font; }
set { _title_font = value; }
}

In the designer TitleFont it is not expandable like on all other controls
Font properties.
Instead it is just a blank text box that you can type text into.
How do I make it expandable to set the sub properties from the designer.

Thanks,
Shawn

Hi Shawn,

Where/How is _title_font being instantiated? Also you should only offer a
get accesor for this property, there is no really a need for a set accesor.

I'm assuming you have an Style instance in your type for which you want to
expose its Font property. You could code the TitleFont property like this:
[C#]
[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)]
[NotifyParentProperty(true)]
public FontInfo TitleFont {
get {return _style.Font;}
}

Assuming you have instantiated _style properly, this will show up properly
in the Properties window,
