ContextMenuPropertiesTypeConverter

A type converter that lets the Properties window expand an object into its individual properties.

public class ContextMenuPropertiesTypeConverter : System.ComponentModel.ExpandableObjectConverter

Inherits from / implements: System.ComponentModel.ExpandableObjectConverter

Remarks

Part of this assembly for compatibility with the .NET Framework edition of SmartButton, where it lets the drop-down menu's drawing settings be edited in the Properties window. Apply it with TypeConverterAttribute to a settings class of your own for the same expandable editing.

Examples

[TypeConverter(typeof(ContextMenuPropertiesTypeConverter))]
public class PrintSettings
{
    public bool Landscape { get; set; }
    public int Copies { get; set; } = 1;
