Disable 'Quick Start' dialog
posted

We have a user-defined form editor in our app based on the standard MS DesignSurface component. I am trying to implement a simple grid-based component derived from UltraWinGrid.

Unfortunately whenever the WinGrid is dropped on a design surface it pops up the 'quick start' dialog.

This is fine for Visual Studio (especially as you can change the preferences to stop it) but not to useful in runtime design (end user) environment.

Is there a way to programatically disable/inhibit the quick start dialog?

(I want to avoid embedding it in a user control if possible)

    The Designer dialog comes from the Infragisticss.Win.Design assembly. So if that dialog is displaying on your users machines, it means that either they have an installed copy of NetAdvantage or else you are distributing the Design dll. The first case is all right, but the second is something you should not do and will violate your license agreement.

    Assuming that your users are developers who also own NetAdvantage, then you can get around this using the Designer attribute. The designer is provided by a Designer attribute on the UltraGrid class. So if you place this attribute on your derived grid and point it to a designer of your own that doesn't do anything, that should take care of it.
