'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Property ControlType As ControlType

public virtual ControlType ControlType {get; set;}

Property Value

ControlType setting that determines how contents are handled

Remarks

Use this property to determine how the contents of the edit control are handled.

Note: The same events occur for read-only controls as for normal controls. For static controls, only the following events occur: Click, DoubleClick, DragDrop, DragOver, MouseDown, MouseMove, and MouseUp.

When the this property is set to ControlType.Static, the TabStop property is automatically set to false.

Setting ControlType.ButtonEdit has an effect only when the ButtonStyle property is set to a value other than ButtonStyle.None.

Example

control.EditModeCursorPosition = FarPoint.Win.EditModeCursorPosition.LastKnownPosition;
control.Text = "This is a test for HideSelection";
control.ControlType = FarPoint.Win.ControlType.Normal;
control.SelectionStart = 2;
control.SelectionLength = 5;
control.Selectable = true;
control.HideSelection = false;
control.AutoMenu = true;
textBox1.Text = control.SelectedText();
control.MaxLength = 9;
