Custom Control with Standard Properties

You can create a custom control with a standard property.

The Data Lookup property can be used for consuming the Data Lookups

1. Create a custom control (Tree).

   1. To use the DataLookupProperty as a property (Configuration Details) for the Tree View control, code in the Tree.cs control initialization file
      as follows:
      private DataLookupProperty dataLookupDetails = null;/// <summary>
      /// Gets or Sets the configurationDetails property that holds lookup name and the parameter collection
      /// </summary>
      [DefaultValue(null)]
      [DesignerProperty(775000, Categories.Behaviour,
      [BindingAttribute(882700, "Skelta.Forms.Core.CommonObjects.DataLookupBindingProperty")]
      public DataLookupProperty DataLookupDetails
      {
      get
      {
      return dataLookupDetails;
      }
      set
      {
      dataLookupDetails = value;
      }
      }

2. Build the custom control.

3. In Forms Designer, add the TreeView control to the form.

4. Modify the properties of the TreeView control as follows:

   1. In the Basic tab, click the Data Source icon. The Lookup Source Configuration page appears.

   2. In the Data Source Type drop-down, select a database.

   3. In the Data Source drop-down, select a lookup.

   4. Save the form.

5. Preview the form.
   You can see the the data lookup name and the parameter collection in the preview.

   Note: The Tree control is available as a standard control in Forms. This example is given to demonstrate the use of DataLookupBindingProperty.
