Ajax Control Toolkit这个控件库内包含一些扩展控件,利用这些扩展控件,可以非常方便的为普通的控件添加Ajax效果,例如,利用AutoCompleteExtender控件,可以为文本框添加自动完成的ajax效果。当然,这并不是本文想讨论的内容。
将Ajax Control Toolkit加入到Visual Studio 2008的工具箱中,并打开一个新的aspx文件,向里面拖入一个TextBox。这时,有趣的事情发生了,在TextBox的SmartTasks面板里,竟然出现了一个“添加扩展程序…”的链接!我又试着拖入一个Button,一个Panel,无一例外的,每个控件的SmartTasks面板的底部都出现了“添加扩展程序…”的链接。
最近我正打算把保存、删除、关闭页面等功能抽象成动作,每一种动作对应一个自定义的Web控件,将某个动作控件附加到目标控件(例如Button)上面之后,目标控件就拥有了诸如保存、删除、关闭页面的功能。如何在WebForm设计器里为一个Button控件方便地附加动作?我想要的正是类似“添加扩展程序…”这样的效果。
开发过自定义服务器控件的朋友应该知道,如果想给控件添加SmartTasks,需要重写ControlDesigner的ActionLists属性,并实现自己的DesignerActionList。显然,一个TextBox并不知道AjaxControlToolkit的存在,所以“添加扩展程序…”这么一个DesignerActionMethodItem并不是它加进来的。那么,.net framework是否提供了某种接口,可以让我们为别的控件“动态的注入”DesignerActionItem呢?
通过对AjaxControlToolKit.dll的研究,我发现这些扩展控件的Designer并不负责提供“添加扩展程序”这个Action,他们只负责提供相应扩展程序对应的扩展内容,所以只能从Visual studio的webform designer作为入口来研究。用reflector打开Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Microsoft.Web.Design.Client.dll,找到了IWebSmartTasksProvider接口,该接口有一个GetDesignerActionLists的方法,这个方法的返回值应该就是SmartTasks面板里显示的内容了。这个接口有3个实现类,DataFormDesigner、DataFormXslValueOfDesigner、ElementDesigner。从这三个类的命名上可以推断,ElementDesigner应该是用的最多的实现类了。ElementDesigner的GetDesignerActionLists的方法实现如下:
1: DesignerActionListCollection IWebSmartTasksProvider.GetDesignerActionLists() 2: {3: DesignerActionListCollection componentActions = null;
4: if (this.Designer != null)
5: {6: DesignerActionService service = (DesignerActionService) base.DesignerHost.GetService(typeof(DesignerActionService));
7: if (service != null)
8: {9: componentActions = service.GetComponentActions(this.Designer.Component);
10: } 11: }12: if (componentActions == null)
13: {14: componentActions = new DesignerActionListCollection();
15: }16: return componentActions;
17: } 18: 19: 20: 21: 从上面代码里可以看到最终的DesignerActionListCollection是由System.Design程序集下的System.ComponentModel.Design.DesignerActionService类的GetComponentActions决定的,Microsoft.Web.Design.Client.dll下的Microsoft.Web.Design.WebFormDesigner+WebDesignerActionService继承了该类,他的实现如下:
1: protected override void GetComponentDesignerActions(IComponent component, DesignerActionListCollection actionLists)
2: {3: Control control = component as Control;
4: ElementDesigner parent = null;
5: if (control != null)
6: { 7: parent = ElementDesigner.GetElementDesigner(control); 8: }9: if ((parent == null) || !parent.InTemplateMode)
10: {11: base.GetComponentDesignerActions(component, actionLists);
12: if ((parent != null) && (parent.Designer != null))
13: {14: ControlDesigner designer = parent.Designer as ControlDesigner;
15: if ((designer != null) && (designer.AutoFormats.Count > 0))
16: {17: actionLists.Insert(0, new AutoFormatActionList(parent));
18: } 19: }20: if ((parent != null) && (parent.Element != null))
21: { 22: IWebDataFormElementCallback dataFormElementCallback = parent.Element.GetDataFormElementCallback();23: if (dataFormElementCallback != null)
24: {25: DataFormElementActionList list = new DataFormElementActionList(parent, parent.Control, dataFormElementCallback);
26: actionLists.Add(list); 27: DataFormElementActionList.ModifyActionListsForListControl(actionLists, list); 28: } 29: }30: if (((parent != null) && (parent.Designer != null)) && parent.DocumentDesigner.ExtenderControlHelper.ProvidesActionLists)
31: { 32: parent.DocumentDesigner.ExtenderControlHelper.AddActionLists(parent, actionLists); 33: } 34: }35: if ((parent != null) && (parent.TemplateEditingUI != null))
36: {37: actionLists.Add(new TemplateEditingActionList(parent.TemplateEditingUI, parent.Element));
38: } 39: } 40: 41: 42: 43: 这个方法里,有这么一段:
1: if (((parent != null) && (parent.Designer != null)) && parent.DocumentDesigner.ExtenderControlHelper.ProvidesActionLists)
2: { 3: parent.DocumentDesigner.ExtenderControlHelper.AddActionLists(parent, actionLists); 4: }看来“添加扩展程序”这个action就是在这里加进去的了。继续查看ExtenderControlHelper.AddActionLists的实现:
1: public void AddActionLists(ElementDesigner element, DesignerActionListCollection lists)
2: {3: lists.Add(new ControlExtenderActionList(element));
4: ExtenderControl component = element.Designer.Component as ExtenderControl;
5: Control control = element.Designer.Component as Control;
6: if ((component == null) && (control != null))
7: {8: IExtenderInformationService service = (IExtenderInformationService) control.Site.GetService(typeof(IExtenderInformationService));
9: if (service != null)
10: {11: foreach (Control control3 in service.GetAppliedExtenders(control))
12: {13: lists.Add(new HoistedExtenderActionList(element.Designer, control3));
14: } 15: } 16: } 17: } 18: 19: 20: 21: 这个方法里的第一句是lists.Add(new ControlExtenderActionList(element)),ControlExtenderActionList继承了System.ComponentModel.Design.DesignerActionList,他的GetSortedActionItems方法定义如下:
1: public override DesignerActionItemCollection GetSortedActionItems()
2: {3: Control component = (Control) this._htmlDesigner.Component;
4: DesignerActionItemCollection items = new DesignerActionItemCollection();
5: IExtenderInformationService service = (IExtenderInformationService) component.Site.GetService(typeof(IExtenderInformationService));
6: string category = SR.GetString(SR.Ids.SmartTasksLabelExtenderSection, CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture);
7: if (service.IsControlExtendible(component))
8: {9: string displayName = SR.GetString(SR.Ids.SmartTasksAddExtender, CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture);
10: items.Add(new DesignerActionMethodItem(this, "AddExtender", displayName, category, true));
11: }12: if (service.IsControlExtended(component))
13: {14: string str3 = SR.GetString(SR.Ids.SmartTasksRemoveExtender, CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture);
15: items.Add(new DesignerActionMethodItem(this, "RemoveExtender", str3, category, true));
16: }17: return items;
18: } 19: 这下清楚了,“添加扩展程序”这个action,是在Visual studio的web form设计器里,写死进去的,.net framework并没有提供相应接口来供我们添加类似的action。但是我想要的效果是增加一个“添加动作”的action,所以我不能参考AjaxControlToolkit的方法去实现,应该要寻找别的方法。
回过头来,重新查看Microsoft.Web.Design.WebFormDesigner+WebDesignerActionService类的GetComponentActions方法,找到基类System.Web.UI.Design.WebFormsDesignerActionService(在System.Design程序集下)的定义,如下:
1: protected override void GetComponentDesignerActions(IComponent component, DesignerActionListCollection actionLists)
2: {3: if (component == null)
4: {5: throw new ArgumentNullException("component");
6: }7: if (actionLists == null)
8: {9: throw new ArgumentNullException("actionLists");
10: }11: IServiceContainer site = component.Site as IServiceContainer;
12: if (site != null)
13: {14: DesignerCommandSet service = (DesignerCommandSet) site.GetService(typeof(DesignerCommandSet));
15: if (service != null)
16: { 17: DesignerActionListCollection lists = service.ActionLists;18: if (lists != null)
19: { 20: actionLists.AddRange(lists); 21: } 22: }23: if ((actionLists.Count == 0) || ((actionLists.Count == 1) && (actionLists[0] is ControlDesigner.ControlDesignerActionList)))
24: { 25: DesignerVerbCollection verbs = service.Verbs;26: if ((verbs != null) && (verbs.Count != 0))
27: {28: DesignerVerb[] array = new DesignerVerb[verbs.Count];
29: verbs.CopyTo(array, 0);30: actionLists.Add(new DesignerActionVerbList(array));
31: } 32: } 33: } 34: } 35: 36: 37: 38: 通过研究上述代码,可以看到DesignerActionListCollection是由DesignerCommandSet这个service的ActionLists属性负责返回的,而这个service是从component的Site里面取得的,只要我另外写一个DesignerCommandSet,并且保证从Site里面取出的DesignerCommandSet是我写的这个service就可以了。终于找到了切入点,下面是具体做法。
首先,创建一个类继承DesignerCommandSet,如下:
1: public class MyDesignerCommandSet : DesignerCommandSet
2: {3: private ComponentDesigner _componentDesigner;
4: 5: public MyDesignerCommandSet(ComponentDesigner componentDesigner)
6: { 7: _componentDesigner = componentDesigner; 8: } 9: 10: public override ICollection GetCommands(string name)
11: {12: if (name.Equals("ActionLists"))
13: {14: return GetActionLists();
15: }16: return base.GetCommands(name);
17: } 18: 19: private DesignerActionListCollection GetActionLists()
20: {21: //先取得控件原有的DesignerActionLists
22: DesignerActionListCollection lists = _componentDesigner.ActionLists; 23: 24: //增加“添加动作”这个DesignerActionList
25: lists.Add(new ActionList(_componentDesigner));
26: return lists;
27: } 28: 29: internal class ActionList : DesignerActionList
30: {31: private DesignerActionItemCollection _actions;
32: 33: public ActionList(IDesigner designer)
34: : base(designer.Component)
35: { 36: }37: public override DesignerActionItemCollection GetSortedActionItems()
38: {39: if (_actions == null)
40: {41: const string actionCategory = "Actions";
42: _actions = new DesignerActionItemCollection();
43: _actions.Add(new DesignerActionMethodItem(this, "AddAction", "添加动作...", actionCategory, true));
44: }45: return _actions;
46: } 47: 48: public void AddAction()
49: {50: //添加动作的逻辑,略
51: } 52: } 53: }下一步就是如何使component的Site这个ServiceProvider返回自己的这个service。方法是自己写一个Site,并使Component的Site变成自己写的SIte类的对象。
自己写的Site类的定义如下:
1: public class SiteProxy : ISite, IServiceContainer
2: {3: private ISite _site;
4: private ComponentDesigner _designer;
5: 6: public SiteProxy(ISite site, ComponentDesigner designer)
7: { 8: _site = site; 9: _designer = designer; 10: 11: } 12: 13: #region ISite 成员
14: 15: public IComponent Component
16: {17: get { return _site.Component; }
18: } 19: 20: public System.ComponentModel.IContainer Container
21: {22: get { return _site.Container; }
23: } 24: 25: public bool DesignMode
26: {27: get { return _site.DesignMode; }
28: } 29: 30: public string Name
31: {32: get { return _site.Name; }
33: set { _site.Name = value; }
34: } 35: 36: #endregion
37: 38: #region IServiceProvider 成员
39: 40: public object GetService(Type serviceType)
41: {42: object service = _site.GetService(serviceType);
43: 44: if (serviceType == typeof(DesignerCommandSet) && !(_designer.Component is ExtenderControl))
45: {46: if (service == null || !(service is MyDesignerCommandSet))
47: {48: if (service != null)
49: {50: RemoveService(typeof(DesignerCommandSet));
51: }52: //返回自己写的DesignerCommandSet
53: service = new MyDesignerCommandSet(_designer);
54: AddService(typeof(DesignerCommandSet), service);
55: } 56: }57: return service;
58: } 59: 60: #endregion
61: 62: #region IServiceContainer 成员
63: 64: public void AddService(Type serviceType, ServiceCreatorCallback callback, bool promote)
65: {66: (_site as IServiceContainer).AddService(serviceType, callback, promote);
67: } 68: 69: public void AddService(Type serviceType, ServiceCreatorCallback callback)
70: {71: (_site as IServiceContainer).AddService(serviceType, callback);
72: } 73: 74: public void AddService(Type serviceType, object serviceInstance, bool promote)
75: {76: (_site as IServiceContainer).AddService(serviceType, serviceInstance, promote);
77: } 78: 79: public void AddService(Type serviceType, object serviceInstance)
80: {81: (_site as IServiceContainer).AddService(serviceType, serviceInstance);
82: } 83: 84: public void RemoveService(Type serviceType, bool promote)
85: {86: (_site as IServiceContainer).RemoveService(serviceType, promote);
87: } 88: 89: public void RemoveService(Type serviceType)
90: {91: (_site as IServiceContainer).RemoveService(serviceType);
92: } 93: 94: #endregion
95: }在这个Site的GetService方法中,判断要get的service类型,如果是DesignerCommandSet,就返回自己创建的MyDesignerCommandSet。
下一步是如何使component的Site变成自己写的SiteProxy。一种方法是新增一种自定义控件,在该控件的ControlDesigner的Initialize方法中改变Container中其他控件的Site,只需要向WebForm中拖入该控件,就可以改变其他控件的Site;另外一种方法是写一个vs package,在package中捕获web form designer的相应事件。下面介绍第一种做法:
新增一个继承自Control的控件,叫做ActionManager,这个控件不用添加任何功能,只需要为它制作ControlDesigner。它的ControlDesigner类主要代码如下:
1: public class ActionManagerDesigner : ControlDesigner
2: {3: private IDesignerHost _host;
4: private IDictionary<IComponent, ISite> _components;
5: 6: public override void Initialize(IComponent component)
7: {8: base.Initialize(component);
9: 10: _components = new Dictionary<IComponent, ISite>();
11: 12: _host = GetService(typeof(IDesignerHost)) as IDesignerHost;
13: if (_host != null)
14: {15: //替换已有控件的Site
16: ProcessComponent(); 17: 18: IComponentChangeService service =19: _host.GetService(typeof(IComponentChangeService)) as IComponentChangeService;
20: if (service != null)
21: { 22: service.ComponentAdded += ComponentAdded; 23: service.ComponentRemoving += ComponentRemoving; 24: } 25: } 26: } 27: 28: #region ProcessComponent
29: 30: private void ProcessComponent()
31: { 32: ComponentCollection components = _host.Container.Components;33: foreach (IComponent component in components)
34: {35: if (component is ActionControl)
36: continue;
37: ProcessComponentSite(component); 38: } 39: } 40: 41: #endregion
42: 43: #region 替换Site
44: 45: /// <summary>
46: /// 替换Component原来的Site,换成SiteProxy
47: /// </summary>
48: private void ProcessComponentSite(IComponent component)
49: {50: ComponentDesigner designer = _host.GetDesigner(component) as ComponentDesigner;
51: _components[component] = component.Site;52: component.Site = new SiteProxy(component.Site, designer);
53: } 54: 55: /// <summary>
56: /// 恢复Component原来的site
57: /// </summary>
58: /// <param name="component"></param>
59: private void RestoreComponentSite(IComponent component)
60: {61: if (_components.ContainsKey(component))
62: { 63: ISite site = _components[component]; 64: component.Site = site; 65: _components.Remove(component); 66: } 67: } 68: 69: #endregion
70: 71: #region on Component Add, remove, change
72: 73: private void ComponentRemoving(object sender, ComponentEventArgs e)
74: {75: if (e.Component is ActionControl)
76: {77: return;
78: }79: //在删除Component的时候,要把他的Site属性还原回去,否则DesignerHost中还会保留原来的Site,
80: //这样再添加同名的Component的时候,会报“重复的组件名称”错误
81: RestoreComponentSite(e.Component); 82: } 83: 84: 85: private void ComponentAdded(object sender, ComponentEventArgs e)
86: {87: if (e.Component is ActionControl)
88: {89: return;
90: } 91: ProcessComponentSite(e.Component); 92: } 93: 94: #endregion
95: 96: #region dispose
97: 98: protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
99: {100: if (_host != null)
101: { 102: IComponentChangeService service =103: _host.GetService(typeof(IComponentChangeService)) as IComponentChangeService;
104: if (service != null)
105: { 106: service.ComponentAdded -= ComponentAdded; 107: service.ComponentRemoving -= ComponentRemoving; 108: } 109: }110: base.Dispose(disposing);
111: } 112: 113: #endregion
114: }至此,只要把一个ActionManager控件拖入到web form designer中,就可以在其他控件的smart task面板上看到“添加动作…”这个链接了。但是这种方式需要在webform designer中放入额外的一个控件,该控件只在设计时有用,在运行时则无用,看起来比较奇怪,所以最好的做法是第二种做法,即开发一个vs package,在package的Initialize方法中,注册IDesignerEventService的DesignerCreated事件,进而通过IDesignerHost和IComponentChangeService达到更改控件Site的目的,具体实现和上面差不多,就不再写了。
