ComponentDesigner.PreFilterProperties

Allows a designer to filter the set of properties the component it is designing will expose through the TypeDescriptor object. This method is called immediately before its corresponding "Post" method. If you are overriding this method you should call the base implementation before you perform your own filtering.

[Visual Basic]
Overridable Public Sub PreFilterProperties( _
   ByVal properties As IDictionary _
)
[C#]
public virtual void PreFilterProperties(
   IDictionary properties
);
[C++]
public: virtual void PreFilterProperties(
   IDictionary* properties
);
[JScript]
public function PreFilterProperties(
   properties : IDictionary
);

Parameters

properties
The properties for the class of the component.

Return Value

The augmented set of properties. If the method does not modify any properties, it may just return a reference to its input parameter. If you do make a change to the properties, you must create a new array.
