Called when the control designer draws the associated control on the design surface, if the ViewFlags.CustomPaint value is true.
- e
- A System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs object that specifies the graphics and rectangle boundaries used to draw the control.
The IControlDesignerView.ViewEvent event is raised by the design host for certain actions on a control in the design surface. For example, an event is raised for the following conditions:
The user clicks the control.
The design host requests HTML markup to render the associated control on the design surface.
The user enters or exits template editing mode for the control.
The System.Web.UI.Design.ControlDesigner class supplies a default delegate to handle the IControlDesignerView.ViewEvent event. Classes deriving from System.Web.UI.Design.ControlDesigner should set the ViewFlags.CustomPaint value and override the ControlDesigner.OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) method to process events that are raised when the design host draws the control on the design surface.
The ControlDesigner.OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) method allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.
The default implementation of the ControlDesigner.OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) method returns without performing any processing.
