Verbs Property

Description

The Verbs property is a collection of PropertyGridVerb objects that are displayed in the verb panel.

Property Type

Read-only property

Syntax (Visual Basic)

Public Property Verbs() As [PropertyGridVerbs](XtremePropertyGrid~PropertyGridVerbs.md)

Remarks

Verbs will be displayed in a separate panel just below the property grid. Verbs are links that can be used to perform actions in your application. When a verb is clicked, the VerbClick event occurs. If both the verb panel and help panel are visible at the same time, the verb panel is displayed above the help panel.

A PropertyGridVerb is a link similar to what is seen in Visual Studio .NET. For example, when the DataGrid control is selected at design time in VS .NET, an AutoFormat link button appears in the Properties window just below the property grid and above the help panel.

The verb panel is displayed when the first verb is added to the property grid's verb collection. To hide the verb panel, all verbs must be removed from the verb collection.

Adding Verbs to the Property Grid (Visual Basic)

This sample illustrates how to add verbs to the property grid.

' Verb Ids  
Const VERB_PROPERTIES = 100  
Const VERB_EDIT = 101  
Const VERB_ABOUT = 102  

Private Sub Form_Load()  
    ' Adds a verb to the property grid's verb collection. This will cause the verb  
    ' panel to be displayed.  
    wndPropertyGrid.Verbs.Add "ActiveX - Properties...", VERB_PROPERTIES  
    wndPropertyGrid.Verbs.Add "ActiveX - Edit", VERB_EDIT  
    wndPropertyGrid.Verbs.Add "ActiveX - About...", VERB_ABOUT  

    ' Changes the caption of the first verb.  
    wndPropertyGrid.Verbs(1).Caption = "ActiveX - Properties..."  

    ' Set the height of the verb panel to 50 pixels  
    wndPropertyGrid.VerbsHeight = 50  
End Sub  

' The VerbClick event occurs when a verb is clicked.  
Private Sub wndPropertyGrid_VerbClick(ByVal Verb As XtremePropertyGrid.IPropertyGridVerb)  
    ' Determines which verb was clicked  
    Select Case Verb.Id  
        ' Displays a message box if this verb was clicked.  
        Case VERB_PROPERTIES:  
            MsgBox "Xtreme Property Grid Properties", , "Verb Clicked - " & Verb.Caption  
        Case VERB_EDIT:  
            MsgBox "Xtreme Property Grid Edit", , "Verb Clicked - " & Verb.Caption  
        Case VERB_ABOUT:  
            MsgBox "Xtreme Property Grid" & vbCrLf & "Version " & App.Major & "." & App.Minor & "." & App.Revision, , "Verb Clicked - " & Verb.Caption  
    End Select  
End Sub
