PropertyGrid and Registry Editor

Is there a way to pull up a windows registry editor within the propertygrid?
I only want to look at the keys and values, not change them.

Steve,

If you have a control that does it, or want to create a tree view that
does it, then yes, you can do it. You will need to use the designer
services in order to do this. For more information, check out the article
on MSDN titled "Building Windows Forms Controls and Components with Rich
Design-Time Features", located at (watch for line wrap):

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...Dtimecontrols/

Hope this helps.

Thanks for responding. I'd like to use a TreeView to show the key values.
Is there some example of how to create such a custom control that can be used
in the PropertyGrid?

I am using the PropertyGrid and I have set the SelectedObject property to an instance of my custom class. One of the properties of the custom class is a bitmap. The PropertyGrid lets me assign a bitmap ok, but when I want to delete it, I cannot do it. For example, in Visual Studio when you set the background image for a form, you can highlight it and press delete to clear the property. But for my own class and the PropertyGrid, it...

I added a PropertyGrid control to my form and set its SelectedObject property to one of my objects which exposes a lot of properties of type System.Drawing.Color. The System.Drawing.Color display fine, but they don't have a dropdown where I can select a new color, like in the VS.NET. How can I help the PropertyGrid display dropdowns for System.Drawing.Color properties? Thanks

How can I set the browsableattributes of the control that has been selected (selectedobject) by the propertygrid? Here's what I'm after - I want to open a form with a propertygrid in it.

This works fine, but what I really want is to take the changes and lock them into a config file, such that this pc will then display all...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
