Developing a new support set

The first step in creating support for a custom control is to create a new Custom Server project. This project will create support for the TrackBar control.

To create a new Custom Server project:

1. Open Microsoft Visual Studio.

2. Open the New Project dialog box.

3. Locate and open the Visual C# > Windows CustomServer template.

   • In the Name box, specify the project name MyCustServer.

   • Accept the rest of the default settings.

4. Click OK. The Custom Server Settings wizard opens.

   

5. In the Application Settings page, specify the following settings:

   • In the Server class name box, enter TrackBarSrv.

   • Select the Customize Record process check box.

   • Select the Customize Run process check box.

   • Accept the rest of the default settings.

6. Click Next. The XML Configuration Settings page opens.

   

7. In the XML Configuration Settings page, specify the following settings:

   • Make sure the Auto-generate the XML configuration segment check box is selected.

   • In the Customized Control type box, enter System.Windows.Forms.TrackBar.

   • Accept the rest of the default settings.

8. Click Finish. In the Class View window, you can see that the wizard created a TrackBarSrv class derived from the CustomServerBase class and ITrackBarSrvReplay interface.

   

To begin implementing the Custom Server, proceed to the next step: Implementing test record logic.
