PropertyGrid and the little [+]

[Phil Jones]

I'm using the PropertyGrid within a test harness I've whacked out to test
some controls I'm creating. [and it's really cool].

One thing I was wondering was if the control that is passed to the
PropertyGrid (SelectedObject) it loads itself up, exposing all the
properties.

If one of those properties is of type Control or Rectangle for example a
little [+] is displayed allowing you to drill down into that object's
properties too.


Q: I was wondering - what do you have to do to an object so taht when it is
exposed as a property the PropertyGrid [+] symbol is displayed, and it can
be editable. Is it an Attribute I need to implement.


Many thanks everyone.
