Color property for a usercontorl... how do you define a default value.

[MrPolite]

I have a TitleColor property declared in my usercontrol. I can't apply the DefaultValue attribute to my property however because it says the color value is not constant:

<DefaultValue(Color.Beige)> _
    Public Property TitleColor() As Color
        Get
 
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As Color)
 
        End Set
    End Property

how do I get around this because I know it is possible. If you change a color value of a windows form then right click on the color in the properties window, there is a Reset option available... so there must be a way to set the default value, but how

Hi.

You need to tell it what type of object it is.

<DefaultValue(GetType(Color),"Beige")> _
    Public Property TitleColor() As Color
        Get
 
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As Color)
 
        End Set
    End Property

This will cause it to look up the "Beige" name in the Color enum.

Hope it helps.

Hi.

Any time .
The great thing is, that you can use it on your own enums as well.

Public Enum MyEnums
  A
  B
  C
End Enum
 
<DefaultValue(GetType(MyEnums),"B")> Public Property MyProp as.....
