Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ HelpContextType

enum System.ComponentModel.Design.HelpContextType

strong

Defines identifiers that indicate information about the context in which a request for Help information originated.

Enumerator
Ambient	A general context.
Window	A window.
Selection	A selection.
ToolWindowSelection	A tool window selection.

Definition at line 4 of file HelpContextType.cs.

◆ HelpKeywordType

enum System.ComponentModel.Design.HelpKeywordType

strong

Defines identifiers that indicate the type of a Help keyword.

Enumerator
F1Keyword	A keyword that F1 was pressed to request help about.
GeneralKeyword	A general keyword.
FilterKeyword	A filter keyword.

Definition at line 4 of file HelpKeywordType.cs.

◆ SelectionTypes

enum System.ComponentModel.Design.SelectionTypes

strong

Defines identifiers that indicate the type of a selection.

Enumerator
Auto	Represents a regular selection. The selection service responds to the CTRL and SHIFT keys to support adding or removing components to or from the selection.
Normal	Represents a regular selection. The selection service responds to the CTRL and SHIFT keys to support adding or removing components to or from the selection.
Replace	Represents a selection that occurs when the content of a selection is replaced. The selection service replaces the current selection with the replacement.
MouseDown	Represents a selection that occurs when the user presses on the mouse button while the mouse pointer is over a component. If the component under the pointer is already selected, it is promoted to become the primary selected component rather than being canceled.
MouseUp	Represents a selection that occurs when the user releases the mouse button immediately after a component has been selected. If the newly selected component is already selected, it is promoted to be the primary selected component rather than being canceled.
Click	Represents a selection that occurs when a user clicks a component. If the newly selected component is already selected, it is promoted to be the primary selected component rather than being canceled.
Primary	Represents a primary selection that occurs when a user clicks on a component. If a component in the selection list is already selected, the component is promoted to be the primary selection.
Toggle	Represents a toggle selection that switches between the current selection and the provided selection. If a component is already selected and is passed into Overload:System.ComponentModel.Design.ISelectionService.SetSelectedComponents with a selection type of F:System.ComponentModel.Design.SelectionTypes.Toggle, the component selection will be canceled.
Add	Represents an add selection that adds the selected components to the current selection, maintaining the current set of selected components.
Remove	Represents a remove selection that removes the selected components from the current selection, maintaining the current set of selected components.
Valid	Identifies the valid selection types as F:System.ComponentModel.Design.SelectionTypes.Normal, F:System.ComponentModel.Design.SelectionTypes.Replace, F:System.ComponentModel.Design.SelectionTypes.MouseDown, F:System.ComponentModel.Design.SelectionTypes.MouseUp, or F:System.ComponentModel.Design.SelectionTypes.Click.

strong

Defines identifiers for a set of technologies that designer hosts support.

Enumerator
Passthrough	Represents a mode in which the view object is passed directly to the development environment.
WindowsForms	Represents a mode in which a Windows Forms control object provides the display for the root designer.
Default	Specifies the default view technology support.
