I have a collection class, which has windows forms panels as the collection
items.

I am adding the collection class to a control, which gets added to a form.

I have tried countless examples, but when I click on the collection button
in the property designer, the next collection property designer shows my
panels as type "Object" not as proper panels.

Thanks in advance for any help on this one, as it is sending me insane.

This is not what I am after.

If I have a listview on a form, I can click on the items collection property
grid button, and I have a nice form with all of the properties associated
with a listviewitem.

On my form I have a custom collection object, and I want to add custom
collection items (in this case panels) from the propertygrid control at
design time.
