Visual Basic: When making an ActiveX control, how do you add comments to properties without using the wizard?

I've made ActiveX controls using the wizard before, but I want to do it without now. How do I add comments which appear in the Properties pane when using the control on a form?Visual Basic: When making an ActiveX control, how do you add comments to properties without using the wizard?
Hello good question!





Lets say you have a property that gets and sets a variable that is a boolean ( for this example we will introduce a property that checks if the User is in university or not, just a simple bool).





You can do this:





===========================


[Category(';My New Category';),


Description(';Indicates whether the person is in University';),


DefaultValue(false)]


public bool InUniversity


{


get { return _universityStatus; }


set { _universityStatus = value; }


}


private bool _universityStatus;


===========================





We introduced META tags which will describe this property.


Category: Creates a category subpanel that your component/control property will be visible.


Description: The description of that property will be visible on the bottom as a help (which you need)


DefaultValue: The default value that is active on that properties panel








That is it. Very nice and simple, yet quick way to add description attribute to your public properties.





I hope that helped. Good LuckVisual Basic: When making an ActiveX control, how do you add comments to properties without using the wizard?
so you want to see the active X's code? did you try importing the active X control using another project?
