DesignTimeControlSet Property

Returns the ProgID of a DTC that provides a shared implementation of global choices available to all controls on a page. Read-only.

Syntax

[cID = ]object.DesignTimeControlSet

Parameters

cID

The DTC class to use. If this string is empty, then no DTC class is required.

object

DTC object

Remarks

Use this property to specify the shared class you create that publishes shared choices and types but does not have a user interface. When queried for the DesignTimeControlSet property, the DTC returns a string that contains multiple ProgIDs separated by semicolons. Each ProgID specifies a shared DTC object. The Choices engine collects this property from each DTC object it manages and ensures that exactly one instance of each shared DTC is created. The shared object has no user interface but is available to the Choices mechanism.

This property does not apply to a shared DTC object itself. It does not need to implement this property.
