Design of a suer interface similar to visual studio

[m.a]

Hello,

I want to design a user interface similar to visual studio in win form. I
am very interested in the property window. Is there any tool that can help
me in designing such user interface?



Any help is much appreciated.

Well, you are going to need some controls for docking and multiple
document interface tabs. Most likely, you are going to be using commercial
controls (there are some that offer a VS feel).

The property grid is a standard .NET control though. You can use the
System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid class. You can right click on your
toolbox and then add it through the "Add Item" (I believe that is what it is
called) feature there.

The tool of choice is VS

Besides that, you need a good third party control toolkit, take a look
at Infragistics for example.
Beware though. creating an interface as complex as VS is not an easy
task at all.

Property window is not too complex to implement I think, from the
outside it looks like a GridView with two columns, one is a Label and
the other change depending of the type of the property DropDown,
textbox, numeric textbox, etc)

I've actually had decent results with this:

Documentation isn't really great, but you can pretty much figure it out from
the example applciation code that comes with the project.

Depending of the type of app you're developing, you might be able to
use the VS 2008 shell! Check this link:
