StructuredCompositeActivityDesigner.ContainedDesigners Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Design

Assembly:

System.Workflow.ComponentModel.dll

Gets a generic read-only collection that contains all activity designers that are children of the StructuredCompositeActivityDesigner.

public:
 virtual property System::Collections::ObjectModel::ReadOnlyCollection<System::Workflow::ComponentModel::Design::ActivityDesigner ^> ^ ContainedDesigners { System::Collections::ObjectModel::ReadOnlyCollection<System::Workflow::ComponentModel::Design::ActivityDesigner ^> ^ get(); };

public override System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection<System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Design.ActivityDesigner> ContainedDesigners { get; }

member this.ContainedDesigners : System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection<System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Design.ActivityDesigner>

Public Overrides ReadOnly Property ContainedDesigners As ReadOnlyCollection(Of ActivityDesigner)

Property Value

ReadOnlyCollection<ActivityDesigner>

An ActivityDesigner read-only collection that contains the child designers.

Examples

The following example demonstrates the addition of a new branch using a designer based off of the CompositeActivityDesigner class. If CanInsertActivities returns true, a new branch is created using the InsertActivities method. A ConnectorHitTestInfo object is created as a parameter to the InsertActivities method. When this is finished, the EnsureVisibleContainedDesigner method is used to ensure that the newly added branch is displayed in the workflow designer by accessing a single object in the ContainedDesigners collection.

protected override CompositeActivity OnCreateNewBranch()
{
    return new ParallelIfBranch();
}

private void OnAddBranch(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    CompositeActivity activity1 = this.OnCreateNewBranch();
    CompositeActivity activity2 = base.Activity as CompositeActivity;

    if ((activity2 != null) && (activity1 != null))
    {
        int num1 = this.ContainedDesigners.Count;
        Activity[] activityArray1 = new Activity[] { activity1 };

        if (CanInsertActivities(new ConnectorHitTestInfo(this, HitTestLocations.Designer, activity2.Activities.Count),
            new List<Activity>(activityArray1).AsReadOnly()))
        {
            CompositeActivityDesigner.InsertActivities(this,
                new ConnectorHitTestInfo(this, HitTestLocations.Designer, activity2.Activities.Count),
                new List<Activity>(activityArray1).AsReadOnly(),
                string.Format("Adding branch {0}", activity1.GetType().Name));

            if ((this.ContainedDesigners.Count > num1) && (this.ContainedDesigners.Count > 0))
            {
                this.ContainedDesigners[this.ContainedDesigners.Count - 1].EnsureVisible();
            }
        }
    }
}
