hi all,

would appreciate if somebody can point me to the right direction in writing
a designer surface for my document.
just like .resx, xml, xsd files have designers associated with them, i've
got a file type .xsx in which needs a designer for it.

1) what kind of designer interface to implement ?
2) how is the designer associated with the file ?

thanks,

Hi,

the designer isn't associated with the files, designers are associated with
types (classes) with the [Designer] attribute. The files are created by the
DesignerHost, that is, the design time environement (such as VS).

If you need a document designer, you need a Designer that implements
IRootDesigner (at least).

This area is not very well documented, I am currently digging myself in the
topics. If you still want go continue, I'd really like to support you where
I can.

hth, urlich
