Properties in Windows Forms Controls

  • Artykuł

 

A Windows Forms control inherits many properties form the base class System.Windows.Forms.Control. These include properties such as Font, ForeColor, BackColor, Bounds, ClientRectangle, DisplayRectangle, Enabled, Focused, Height, Width, Visible, AutoSize, and many others. For details about inherited properties, see System.Windows.Forms.Control.

You can override inherited properties in your control as well as define new properties.
