Display UserControl properties in the Property Window
At design-time, when you set a control's property value, Visual
Basic often provides a list of valid settings in a dropdown list.
To display such a list for your own custom UserControl property
settings, you'll need to add an enumerated property to your
ActiveX Control project. To do so, declare the property's
potential values with the Enum statement, like soPublic Enum UCBorderStyles
UCBorderNone = 0
UCBorderFlat = 1
UCBorderThin = 2
UCBorderFrame = 3
UCBorderThick = 4
End Enum
Once you've established the potential values, you'll need to use
the enumerated type in the Property Let and Get statements, as inPrivate mintBorderStyle As UCBorderStyles
Public Property Get BorderStyle() As UCBorderStyles
BorderStyle = mintBorderStyle
End Property
Public Property Let BorderStyle(val As UCBorderStyles)
mintBorderStyle = val
End Property
Now, when Visual Basic instantiates the control at design time,
the valid UCBorderStyles will appear in the Property Window's
dropdown list for the BorderStyle property.
