Registry Editor and Property Grid

Steve Teeples

I have looked but can't find a way to pull up the registry editor within a
propertygrid. Is this possible? If so, can you tell me how?

Steve,

I don't know that you will be able or want to do this. You can create a
custom designer for the property on your component, but if you launch
regedit, you won't be able to get feedback from it in order to populate the
property grid correctly.

Are you just trying to select a key from the registry? If so, you can
easily do that with a tree view control, using a lazy loading scheme to load
all the keys in the registry.

Hope this helps.
