Property Value

Type	Description
Object	An object that represents the current View’s control.

Remarks

Since the controls which represent a View are arranged via the Layout Control on a Template, the value returned by this property is the Layout Manager’s Container. You may need to access this container when implementing a custom Template. Add the View’s control to the Template’s View site. To learn how to implement custom Templates, refer to the How to: Create a Custom WinForms Ribbon Template.
