Hiding custom properties in property sheet of Visual Designe

Posted by keesvlasblom on 19-Feb-2009 08:16

Hi all,

My question concerns 10.2A. I've created a custom control, inheriting from an infragistics control and added some properties to it. When I use this control on a form or open it in the Designer, these new properties show up in the property sheet, even if they are read-only.

Is there any way, maybe by using some annotation, to hide these properties in the property sheet?

The short answer is no. The ABL does not support annotations as real objects; the annotations it does support are treated as comments. Only ABL properties that are scalar types (int, character, decimal, boolean...) are enabled in the properties view. Any other type of property is disabled, but will still show in the properties view.

Regarding the read-only properties. There's a bug in 10.2A that causes read-only ABL properties to show up in the properties grid and a value also may get written to the source code (if different from default).

This issue is supposed to be fixed in 10.2A01.
