Hi,

Please help me.

How do I add a new Button into the TextBox Control?
If you click the button the system will show a new Filter Windows?

If you know how to achieve the requirement, please let me know.

Thanks

A speculative way...you can put a TextBox and Button into a UserControl, change the size and location of it then write some thing like "public event EventHandler"...

Solution 1

You can add existing button in textbox like this.

Button Button1 = new Button();
Button1.Dock = Forms.DockStyle.Right;
TextBox1.Controls.Add(Button1);

You have to bind button's event as required.

Button1.Click += new EventHandler(this.Button1_Click);

One problem: Some text may hide behind button with this approach. Better you place both side by side.

Tks,i used method is same as you ,i have overrided the method which name is "InitLayout" Like this:
protected override void InitLayout()
{
base.InitLayout();
this.Controls.Clear();
_Button.Size = new Size(30, this.Height);
_Button.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
_Button.Dock = DockStyle.Right;
if (FilterIcon != null)
{
_Button.BackgroundImage = FilterIcon;
}
this.Controls.Add(_Button);
}

but i haven't found the solution to solve this problem

Then you just have to bind button's click event.
Button1.Click += new EventHandler(this.Button1_Click);
