Is there a way to pull up a windows registry editor within the propertygrid?
I only want to look at the keys and values, not change them.
 
Steve,

If you have a control that does it, or want to create a tree view that
does it, then yes, you can do it. You will need to use the designer
services in order to do this. For more information, check out the article
on MSDN titled "Building Windows Forms Controls and Components with Rich
Design-Time Features", located at (watch for line wrap):

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/04/design-timecontrols/

Hope this helps.
 
Thanks for responding. I'd like to use a TreeView to show the key values.
Is there some example of how to create such a custom control that can be used
in the PropertyGrid?
