Hi All,

It may be seem easy, but:

How do I implement a public property that I want to be able to select from a
list of predefined values (at design time)?
Like, for example, "BackColor" in "Apperance" section.( Even without any
extras as a dialog or populating from DB)
Thanks,

Oleg

Thank you, Teemu


I userd the first approach and achieved what I wanted so far.

I'll investigate the "design.time features" topic deeper when I need it.

Regards,
Oleg

Either,

a) specify an enumeration and assign it as the type of the property. This
way it is automatic.

b) If you need more dynamic way you can create a custom typeconverter.

See: Type Converters That Provide a List of Standard Values to a Property
Grid

c). The most powerful way is to create custom editor. See documentation for
design.time features.
