WinForms, NetAdvantage 10.1
I have built a custom control with an UltraFormattedTextEditor and an UltraToolTipManager. The UltraToolTipManager provides the UltraToolTip property on the UltraFormattedTextEditor. If I go into DataBinding, I see that the UltraToolTip is a bindable property (it's in the list). In the object that I'm binding to, I've created a property with type UltraToolTipInfo. When I try to bind the UltraToolTip property of the UltraFormattedTextEditor control to the UltraToolTipInfo property of the object, when I run the code I get 'cannot bind to property blah blah blah'. So, how do I bind to the UltraToolTip property? If it is not bindable, then why does it show up in the list for binding?
Hello Kyle,
I've created a feature request on your behalf. The feature request ID is FR12521.
Ok, that's what I was thinking also. I think it would be a nice feature to expose a string ToolTipText property so that one could bind the ToolTipText as this is not available in WinForms either.
Thanks.
I'm guessing that extender properties (properties exposed via the component's IExtendedProvider implementation) are by default bindable, in which case the fact that we didn't decorate the extended property with the Bindable attribute to prevent this is a minor bug. Suffice to say you cannot bind the UltraToolTip property because it returns an object, not a native type like string or integer.
