Is there a way to add a button to the header of the Ultra Expandable Group Box Control? We would like to have buttons always visible in the headers, preferably right-aligned, on the same level as the header text.
Thanks,Janette
Hi Janette,
In the absence of a property such as ButtonsRight collection on the piece you want to augment you can always use a CreationFilter to add the pieces you want to include. Make a CreationFilter that adds a ButtonUIElement to the GroupBoxHeaderUIElement and positions itself accordingly.
You can read more about CreationFilters here: http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/WinForms/2011.2/CLR2.0/?page=Win_Creation_Filter.html.
Some pseudocode to get you started if this is new:
public void AfterCreateChildElements(Infragistics.Win.UIElement parent) { if (parent is Infragistics.Win.Misc.GroupBoxHeaderUIElement) { Infragistics.Win.Misc.GroupBoxHeaderUIElement header = (Infragistics.Win.Misc.GroupBoxHeaderUIElement) parent; Infragistics.Win.ButtonUIElement button = new ButtonUIElement(parent); Rectangle parentRect = parent.RectInsideBorders; button.Rect = new Rectangle(parentRect.X + parentRect.Width - 20, parentRect.Y, 20, 20); button.Text = "C"; button.ElementClick += new UIElementEventHandler(button_ElementClick); parent.ChildElements.Add(button); } }
void button_ElementClick(object sender, UIElementEventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show("Button clicked"); }
public bool BeforeCreateChildElements(Infragistics.Win.UIElement parent) { return false; }
