Update container control from inspector

General
1
  1. I have created a container control that contains a Label control.
  2. I have added a computed property Caption that simply wraps the label’s .Text property.
  3. In the Inspector Behaviour dialog i have checked Caption to publish the property of the container control to the Inspector.
  4. I have added an instance of the container control to a window.

Is there anyway to get the contents of the label to update in the window designer when the Caption property is changed in the inspector?

No

I’ll stop trying then.

Thanks

To elaborate (you only asked a Boolean question :winking_face:), custom controls built with Containers do not execute code to draw into the designer the way Plugins and WebSDK controls do/can.

Tbh I only needed a boolean answer.

Plugins and WebSDK is a whole new learning curve I don’t have time for :slight_smile:

It’s a little irritating to have to compile to see changes but it’s a cosmetic issue end users do not see. I’ve been putting up with it for years. Just everytime I create a container control I’m looking at it and wondering, what am I missing. Apparently nothing, which is useful to know.

Thanks again.
