I want to be able to add a DatePicker to one of my Ribbon's tabs and have the space and size managed by the Ribbon. Particularly, I want to create a custom Ribbon control that will have a Ribbon control Label attribute available. I'm not sure how to solve this without multiple inheritance (inheriting from DatePicker and RibbonControl).
Is there a RibbonControl interface that will grant me access to the Label attribute of the control without having to define custom formatting? Will I have to abandon the ribbon and create a custom tabbed interface instead?
I dont know why you would like to create a custom ribbon, whether you want a ribbon with which you could interact. i am proving you a link here, you could download the source code and modify it as you want. here it show they have added a drop down list. you could add a date picker too.

i used PropertyGrid control to display properties on gridview.
i have taken an reference of this link http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/using-property-grid-in-c-sharp/
which is showing like this
But i need checkbox just before the property name shown in red mark on check/uncheck for any property i need to build expression.
I recommend reading this: How do I change boolean properties with one click in PropertyGrid.
It extends the PropertyGrid control and defines its checkbox controls using UITypeEditor.
As Reza mentioned, your choice of control does not appear optimal. You should probably create a form with TextBox, CheckBox, ComboBox etc. Or make use of DataGridView if your display is catering for multiple records at same time.
If you most definitely want to customize PropertyGrid, here is my another answer which might help you start with.
Linked answer:
You can make use of TrackBar. Note that PropertyGrid by default does
not allow you to add controls like these to it. So, you will need to
do some work here. You will need to create a class that inherits from
System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor. Next you will have to set the
editor attribute for the property that has to display track bar as
control. Note that unless you do custom paint, it will be shown as
modal dialog or as dropdown editor.
I am trying to modify a custom content control I've created. Specifically I want to add a minibar containing one or two buttons to a quick and short modification of the text included in my content control. The image below shows the outcome I want to have - the problem is that these buttons are only shown in built-in table content control and I can't find any useful information on the web about how to create something like that myself... Could you help me?
Unfortunately, the commands shown next to the content control title are not customizable; it's definitely something we've thought about, but this isn't possible today.
You could use the ContentControlOnEnter and ContentControlOnExit events to show buttons on the context menu or the ribbon; depending on your scenario, that might work?
I have created a custom control that inherits System.Windows.Forms.Panel, and adds a few extra properties. I then intend to create child classes that inherit this custom-panel class, and add content to them.
The custom-panel class will be passed to a "Wizard" framework (with back/next buttons) as the content for the various steps. I intend to make extensive use of this, creating 40-50 different pages for Wizards to handle various things in my project.
Question: Is there a way to view just the panel in the Designer, and modify its layout and design from there? I could code everything the hard way, but I really don't want to.
I did some searching and found this article, but that discusses creating a custom control and adding it to a library. I don't need to do this, I just want to view/edit the control in Designer directly, without adding it to a Form.
Obvious Answer to the rescue again.
Create a custom control, add the layout/split panel as desired, and change it's property to DockStyle.Fill.
This makes your custom control "behave" like the layout control, as long as you add all other controls to the layout control.
add first this name space
using System.ComponentModel.Design;
Apply the System.ComponentModel.DesignerAttribute attribute to the control as follows:
[Designer("System.Windows.Forms.Design.ParentControlDesigner, System.Design", typeof(IDesigner))]
public class UserControl1 : System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
{
...
}
now you can edit your custom user control in designer environment
I'm working on something like a download manager on C#, and I need to implement a download list that has to support the following features:
1] The list should support scrolling2] All the list elements have a url, and some other data + icon
3] Selection, and multiple selection.
How can I implement this kinda of list? I there an already created control I can use?
I started to implement it using a flowLayoutPanel and custom controls for all the list items and handling the Click events of the custom control. I'm not sure that custom creating this would be the right way to go.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
If you're using WinForms, you can use a ListView control, which supports these features as standard.
Use DataGridView and implement custom cells/columns for it by inheriting from DataGridViewColumnand DataGridViewCell.
If you decide to use WPF, you can use a ListView, with scrolling options enabled, with a GridView on top of it.

I am attempting to create my own custom Autocomplete style dropdown control in c# .net2.0. For speed of development I have built my control as a UserControl but have hit on an issue of doing it this way.
When the custom drawn dropdown gets drawn I have to resize the UserControl area to be able to display the list of options.
Ideally I want to be able to mimic the drodpown list behaviour in that the list of options is drawn 'floating' and is not constrained by the UserControls height and width (nor even the parent forms boundaries). A tooltip is another example of the unconstrained 'floating' that I desire.
The only way I can think of achieving this is to create on the fly a new form with no border or title bar and display this when the popup is required.
Is there a better (but also quick) way of doing this?
TIA
You would need to use a Form or NativeWindow to allow the control to float correctly. To make a form follow the control is easy enough but it is more difficult to implement and handle all of the focusing/hiding issues especially if you need seamless tabbing/key navigation.
You can try creating a control that is based off the ToolStrip Drop Down Button control. I believe that this control has the functionality that you are looking for. I found this reference for creating controls based off the ToolStrip, you might try starting with this.
