Create Custom Properties

Create a custom property to define a new property.

To create a custom property

1. Create a class property with a getter and setter section along with the user defined logic.

2. Decorate the class property with the DesignerProperty property attribution.

   (For more information, see Designer Property in Attributing Properties.)

   // Setting the location of the custom property

   // in the Behaviour tab of the Property page.

   [DesignerProperty(773000, Categories.Behaviour, CoreDesigner.NextGenDesigner)]

   OR

   [DesignerProperty(773000, Categories.Behaviour, typeof(GridProperty), "DataFormXml")]

3. If you want the custom property to be a part of the View Model, then you must decorate the class property with the BindingAttribute property attribution.

   / Custom binding is defined under IntegerBindingProperty class

   // located at Skelta.Forms.Core.CommonObjects.IntegerBindingProperty class path.

   [BindingAttribute(882995, "Skelta.Forms.Core.CommonObjects.IntegerBindingProperty")]

4. Provide a default value for the custom property, if required, by decorating the class property with the DefaultValue property attribution.

Example

private string _step = "0";

/// <summary>

/// Get/set the step value for the slider.

/// </summary>

[DefaultValue("1")]

[DesignerProperty(775000, Categories.Behaviour, CoreDesigner.NextGenDesigner)]

[BindingAttribute(882998, EFormMode.NextGenMode, "Skelta.Forms.Core.CommonObjects.IntegerBindingProperty")]

public string Step

{

 get { return _step; }

 set

 {

 _step = value;

 }

}
