Mike,
Can you tell me how you envoke the editor you created. I tried your example
as I've been trying to get such an editor for over a week. I invoke it
within my PropertyGrid with the following code but it isn't invoked. The
default String Collection Editor appears each time.
[Description("A test string collection."),
Category(TestCaseStrings.strTestComponent),
Editor(typeof(CheckIt.StringCollectionEntry),
typeof(CheckIt.StringCollectionEditor))]
public StringCollection StrCol
{
get { return this.scoll; }
set { this.scoll = value; }
}

I just wrote a simple editor to do this so I can change it as required...This
will give you an example to work from...You can just add a property for the
Form.Text to change it..
