Invalid property value window

[Guest]

Is there any way to have a custom property display the window that appears when an invalid property value is entered in a PropertyGrid control? I'm refering to the window that has the title "Properties Window" and displays the message "Invalid property value." The window also has the "Details" button

Thanks
Lance

I believe if you throw an exception in your set access modifier, it will
happen automatically.

Hi Lance,

Thanks for posting in the community. My name is Peter, and I will be
assisting you on this issue.

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue.
From your description, I understand that you wants to customize the the
window that has the title "Properties Window" and displays the message
"Invalid property value."
Have I fully understood you? If there is anything I misunderstood, please
feel free to let me know.

Based on my researching, I think this can not be achieved so far.

To achieve your aim will alter the internal behavior of Windows Forms
classes is not supported by Microsoft. We strongly recommend not to do so.

We have a similar issue before, and the answer is same.
