如何创建一个可以将其他控件放入其中的 UserControl? [英] How to create a UserControl that you can drop other controls in it?

问题描述

In WinForms, how can I create a UserControl that when I put on my form I can then add other controls inside by dragging them from the toolbox, the same way as with all containers controls (panels, group boxes, etc)? I've tried to add controls by dropping them in my control but then when I move my control the controls I added stay right where they are, which wouldn't happen if instead of my control I would use a Panel (the other controls would move with the panel).

解决方案

Unlike a Panel control for example, a UserControl does not act as a container control once it is placed on another form. There is full design-time support while you are designing the UserControl itself, but its default behavior does not allow it to act as a constitutent control after it has been placed on another form. This is why you are unable to add other controls to it by dragging them from the toolbox.

In order to add this type of behavior to a UserControl, you need to add the DesignerAttribute to the definition of your custom UserControl class. For example:

using System.ComponentModel;
using System.ComponentModel.Design;

[Designer("System.Windows.Forms.Design.ParentControlDesigner, System.Design", typeof(IDesigner))]
public class MyUserControl : System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
{
    //...your code here
}

(See the relevant MSDN article for further reading.)

If you want to implement full designer support for nested controls inside your UserControl, this is slightly more difficult. For a more comprehensive discussion, see this article on CodeProject.
