ComparesByValue Method (EmbeddableEditorBase)

Returns whether the owner should compare items based on their underlying value rather than their display text.

Syntax

Visual Basic

public virtual bool ComparesByValue( 
   EmbeddableEditorOwnerBase owner,
   object ownerContext
)

C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Function ComparesByValue( _
   ByVal owner As EmbeddableEditorOwnerBase, _
   ByVal ownerContext As Object _
) As Boolean

 

Parameters

owner

The EmbeddableEditorOwnerBase-derived owner

ownerContext

The context that was passed into the GetEmbeddableElement(UIElement,EmbeddableEditorOwnerBase,Object,EmbeddableUIElementBase) method.

Return Value

True if the owner should compare items based on their underlying value.

Remarks

The default implementation returns true, implying that the owner should sort by the underlying data value.

Editors that support ValueLists will look at the owner's return from GetValueList; if an IValueList is supplied, the value of the SortByValue property will be returned.
