ShouldSerializeActiveAppearance Method (UltraExplorerBarGroupAppearances)

Returns a Boolean value that determines whether the ActiveAppearance property is set to its default value.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Protected Function ShouldSerializeActiveAppearance() As Boolean

C#

protected bool ShouldSerializeActiveAppearance()

Return Value

Returns true if this property is not set to its default value

Remarks

Returns True if the ActiveAppearance property is not set to its default value; otherwise, it returns False.

Use this method to determine if an Appearance object has been created and contains data that needs to be serialized.

Invoke the ResetActiveAppearance method to reset this property to its default value.

Example

Visual Basic

' Each settable property on an Infragistics controls and sub-object has an
' associated ShouldSerializeXXX method (where XXX is the property name)
' that returns true if the property has been modified and needs to be
' serialized.  Since this method is protected, it is only available to
' classes derived from Infragistics controls or sub-objects.
'
' The following example shows how to create a class derived from an
' Infragistics UltraToolbarsManager control and expose a property that
' calls UltraToolbarManager's protected ShouldSerializeStyle method
' to return whether the Style property is set to its default value.

Public Class MyToolbarsManager
      Inherits UltraToolbarsManager
 
      Public ReadOnly Property IsStyleSetToDefaultValue() As Boolean
            Get
                  ' Call our UltraToolbarManager base class protected method
                  ' ShouldSerializeStyle to determine if the Style property
                  ' is currently set to its default value.
                  If Me.ShouldSerializeStyle() = True Then
                        return False
                  else
                        return True
                  End If
            End Get
      End Property
End Class
