I am creating my first custom control for the top level act! entities. I have created hundreds of custom controls for custom entities in my own designer where I pick up the drop events then do my own serialization.
// Create a new HostSurface
_hostSurfaceManager = new HostSurfaceManager();
// IDesignerSerializationService
_hostSurfaceManager.AddService(
typeof(System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerSerializationService), newDesignerSerializationService(_hostSurfaceManager));
Now I am creating custom controls for the ACT! Ui designer.
How do you implement the component editor when the control is dropped onto the act form designer?
I need to open the act UI so the user can select the desired field.
How do you implement serialization on that control?
I need to store the desired field and have it set when the form loads.
I have implemented both IComponentDisplayNameSupport and IComponentEditorPageSite but none of the functions ( GetInstanceNameProperty and GetControl) are raised.
Thanks in advance.
