Thread: Custom Control - Performing action ONLY during Design time

    I am in the process of making a custom button, and in the resize event, I only want to perform a redraw when in design time. If the button is running in the compiled program, I want it to ignore the command. Is there any way to distinguish between design time and run time in a control?

    Thanks,
    Jordan

    hmm, sounds stupid but can't you just comment out the sub before compiling it and decomment it when using in runtime eviroment?

    Yes, but I was just wondering if there was any way to distinguish between design time and runtime in a control so that I don't have to manually comment and decomment every time.

    Code:
    If UserControl.Ambient.UserMode then
  'Runtime code
else
  'Designtime code
end if
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
