PropertyGrid Control - Accessing Collections

[Guest]

Hi,

I have been trying to use the property grid control as a means of editing an
object, one of the properties of the objet is a collection of another of my
classes. to create the collection i have inherited CollectionBase.

When the PropertyGrid is displayed the collection has the elipses as
expected, but when i click on this the pop-up editor any try to add a new
item to the collection the item is of type System.Object (with no properties)
rather than my own object?

Any help appriciated

Hi,

You need to make a UITypeEditor for that. Take a look at the
vbpowerpack for some examples.
