problem with Command1.visible property in UserControl
Dear friends,
I am having a weird problem, i hope someone can tell me where i am going wrong.
My requirements are one simple usercontrol with a command button and a property "visible" for the command button. My code for the usercontrol are as below:
__________________________
Public Property Get showButton() As Boolean
showButton = cmdButton.Visible
End Property
Public Property Let showButton(ByVal New_showButton As Boolean)
cmdButton.Visible() = New_showButton
PropertyChanged "showButton"
End Property
Private Sub UserControl_ReadProperties
cmdButton.Visible = PropBag.ReadProperty("show
End Sub
Private Sub UserControl_WritePropertie
Call PropBag.WriteProperty("sho
End Sub
__________________________
The code above works fine, if i have a standalone project with one form and one usercontrol but if i copy and paste this code in one of my usercontrol in the project where i am using visual sourcesafe, it gives me weird results.
In this project, if i put the usercontrol on one of the form and change the "showbutton" property, it works fine if i close and open the form but once i save the project and open it again the property is lost and it changes to false.
Its not that the project is not saved, the changes other than the property are changed.
I am tired of this error. Does anyone have idea about what i am doing wrong......
Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I believe you will need to use the InitProperties Event in addition to the ReadProperties and WriteProperties events.
See the VB documentation on creating custom controls for more details.

I found something just now.
I copied the whole of my Project on Visual sourcesafe and made a local copy.
Now this time i do not connect to visual sourcesafe and work with the local copy .. and the same code works fine.
Amazing.. why is it happening like this.
any VISUAL SOURCESAFE experts here..
Am i doing something wrong while checking in the form ... ummm i think no, because i have created other properties too in this control and they are working fine except this visible property.
Still waiting for a solution. :(

It might be that an earlier version of the control is in Visual SourceSafe. When you then create a new one, and not update the control in sourcesafe, it might give you that effect since it will try to use that one. This only goes when you are also using the visual component manager.
