Element that hosts a WinForms Control.

Inheritance

TextBoxElement

Implements

ISupportUia

IControlHostElement

Namespace: C1.Framework

Assembly: C1.Win.4.8.dll

Syntax

public class ControlHostElement : Element, ISupportUia, IControlHostElement

Remarks

In principle, this class allows hosting any WinForms control. In practice, not all controls work well in this scenario. For example, some controls cannot be freely resized, so the element should account for that.

** Important Note: to allow hosting generic controls, this class stores a reference to itself in the contained control's Tag property. That means hosted controls cannot use their Tag property for anything else.
