GenericPartClass Class


	GenericPartClass Class	Softel vdm, Inc.

GenericPartClass Class (Softelvdm.Controls Namespace)

An instance of the GenericPartClass abstract class represents one part in the parts collection of a cell.

All parts implemented by a control are derived from the GenericPartClass abstract class.

Currently, these classes implementing various parts are available:

TextPartClass - A single or multiline text string
ImagePartClass - An image
GapPartClass - A gap (used between other parts)
ButtonPartClass - A push button
DropDownButtonPartClass - A dropdown button
CheckBoxPartClass - A checkbox
RadioButtonPartClass - A radiobutton
ProgressBarPartClass - A progressbar

Each cell has an optional parts collection, which can be accessed using the cell's CellBaseClass.Parts property.

Public Properties	Description
Angle	Defines the rotation of the part.
HAlign	Defines the horizontal alignment within the part's available space.
Orientation	Returns the orientation of parts within a cell. This is defined by the cell or the owner of the cell.
PartAlignment	Defines the part alignment of this part relative to its container and other parts.
PartOwner	Returns the owner of the part, usually an object derived from CellBaseClass.
TagObject	Defines application-specific data.
TagString	Defines an application-specific string.
VAlign	Defines the vertical alignment within the part's available space.
VisibleAppearance	Returns the visibility status of the part.

Public Methods	Description
Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. GetHashCode is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance.
ReferenceEquals	Determines whether the specified Object instances are the same instance.
ToString	Returns a String that represents the current Object.

Public Event	Description
Action	Occurs when a part's action is triggered by the user.

Protected Constructors	Description
GenericPartClass Constructor	Standard constructor.

Protected Methods	Description
CalcRotatedSize	Calculates the size of the smallest rectangle that can contain the rotated rectangle of a given size, based on the part's Angle property.
CalcSize	Calculates the size of the part.
CalcUnrotatedBaseWidth	Calculates the actual width of the part, based on the width of the rotated part's containing rectangle.
ConsiderForOutline	Defines whether the part is considered when calculating the outline rectangle of a cell.
Copy	Creates an identical copy of the part.
CopyPart	Copies information from one part to another.
Finalize	Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.
GetVisible	Returns the current visibility status of a part, based on the part's VisibleAppearance property.
MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
OnContentChanged	Called when the contents of the part changed.
StrategyRoutine	Used to perform various actions the part supports, like rendering the part, hit-testing, determining its position and responding to mouse button clicks.
