Custom UITypeEditor focus problem

I have created an image selection dropdown editor for use in a
PropertyGrid. My selector form is called dropdown by a
IWindowsFormsEd itorService and so far it's all sweet.

On my selector form I have placed a lot of pictures the user can select
from. I have also placed a button with "From File..." that opens an
OpenFileDialog (Remember that this is still in the dropdown dialog form
of the PropertyGrid). The problem is that when the "From File..."
button is clicked, ShowDialog() is called, the OpenFileDialog opens and
gets focus, and the selector form DISAPPEARS. As a second effect, the
OpenFileDialog stays topmost, yet the application can be used
underneath.

How can I keep the dropdown UITypeEditor visible after the
OpenFileDialog. ShowDialog() call, and yet make both controls disappear
if the user clicks somewhere else on the screen or presses esc?

Thanks!

I have a series of simple controls that I created to make some aspects of Tablet PC programming a little easier. The "Tablet PC" aspects of the controls are irrelevant to the problem I'm having, but I feel compelled to mention it because it can be hard for someone to imagine my challenge when I talk in hypotheticals. Anyway, these controls each have an Ink property. For non-Tablet developers, Ink is a class defined in the Tablet PC...

In building controls we need to create Custom UITypeEditor classes, most of this classes (in my case) doing the same job, its used to support the controls properties with a drop down list contains some string values. My question is, can I summarize all of this classes in one class that takes an array of string as a parameter and used for all controls properties? Thanks Ahmed

I have included below virtually all the code to a control I'm trying to build.

For some reason, if I changed update the Tab property of the control through the GUI at design...

I have worked with application settings in VS2005 and C# for awhile, but usually with standard types. I have been trying to store a custom container/class/type in an application setting and I have seen erratic results.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
