event CreateElement (Element as Element)
The user creates at runtime a new element.

TypeDescription
Element as Element An Element object being created.
The CreateElement event occurs when the user creates the element on the surface. The AllowCreateObject property specifies the keys combination to let the user creates the elements at runtime. Prior to CreateElement event the AddElement event is fired to notify that the element has been added to the Elements collection. The CreateElement event is not fired when you add programmatically the element calling the Add method. For instance, you can call the Element.Edit method during the CreateElement to let the user edits the element's caption once a new element is created. You can call the Remove method to remove the newly created element.

The order of the events when the user creates the element at runtime is:

The CreateElement event is not called during the LoadXML method.

The following VB sample calls the Edit method once a new element is created:

Private Sub Surface1_CreateElement(ByVal Element As EXSURFACELibCtl.IElement)
    With Element
        .AutoSize = True
        .Caption = "new " & Surface1.Elements.Count
        .Edit exEditCaption
    End With
End Sub

The following VB sample creates an element that hosts the Exontrol.Button control:

Private Sub Surface1_CreateElement(ByVal Element As EXSURFACELibCtl.IElement)
    With Element
        .Type = exElementHostControl
        .ElementFormat = """client"""
        .Control = "Exontrol.Button"
        With .Object
            .Caption = "<sha ;;0>Button " & Surface1.Elements.Count
        End With
    End With
End Sub
