Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Type	null	The type of a control passed to the document as content.

Remarks

The ControlType property allows you to assign a control as document content:

1. Click the Assign Control button in the form designer.
2. In the invoked window, open the drop-down ControlType property list. The drop-down displays UserControl / Form class descendants available in the solution.
3. Select a control from the list.

The assigned control type is used to initialize the control during Deferred Loading.

Usage Notes

• The ControlType property accepts Control class descendants with parameterless constructors.
• The BaseView.QueryControl event has a higher priority than the ControlType property.
• The ControlType property drop-down displays Form class descendants in MDI mode only.
