Property Grid

[Guest]

Hi

Is there any way to stop some properties of the parent classes from
appearing in the propertygrid?

Thanks

Will using BrowsableAttribute be of any help?

Sure, you would need to write a designer class to do it.
Let's see...

You would create a designer class like so:
using System;

using System.Windows.Forms.ComponentModel;

using System.Windows.Forms.Design;

namespace MyDerivedCtrlProjectNameSpace

{

public class MyDerivedCtrlDesigner : ControlDesigner

{

// If you want to remove properties from designer, you overrid
PostFilterProperties

protected override void PostFilterProperties(System.Collections.IDictionary
properties)

{

properties.Remove("AccessibleDescription");

properties.Remove("AccessibleName");

properties.Remove("AccessibleRole");

}

Then you would link the designer class to the control, like so:
namespace MyDerivedCtrlProjectNamespace

{

[Designer(typeof(MyDerivedCtrlDesigner))]

public class MyDerivedControl : System.Windows.Forms.<whatever>

{

// control definition here

}

}



For more info, look at the help for "ControlDesigner".
