Using PropertyGrid to display a struct type attribute

[Jinlin]

I am using PropertyGrid to display some attributes, one of them is a
key/value pair struct.

When you click on the attribute, a standard dialog box will popup that I can
edit the values.

My question is how can I access this dialog box? For example, there is a
help button on this dialog box and I'd like to link some help information
to.

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks,
-Jinlin

Jinlin,

In order to do this, you can provide your own dialog that will pop up
when you click on the button. Check out the two-part MSDN magazine article
titled "Building Windows Forms Controls and Components with Rich Design-Time
Features", located at (watch for line wrap):

and

Hope this helps.
