Property Grid Question.

[pnp]

When I use a custom class object as the selected object of a property gird
control is there a way to set custom names fro the grouped sections shown in
it?

Thanks,
Peter

When you define the property in your class.. you can specify designer
attributes in square brackets [] immediately above the property definition.
The attribute you want is "Category".
e.g.
[Category("SpecialCategory"), Browsable(true), DefaultValue(88),
MergableProperty(true),
RefreshProperties(System.ComponentModel.RefreshPro perties.All),
Description("Width of the Label")]

public int LabelWidth
{ get { return label.Width;}set {label.Width =value;textBox.Width =
this.Width - value;}

(example is from a custom contrl that contains a label plus a textbox.)

Use Category attribute for that property.
