When you add a ToolTip component to a Form (or UserControl) the other
controls on the form display a ToolTip property in the property grid. This is
because it implements the IExtenderProvider interface and other bits and
pieces. I've looked at examples on the following pages, but none of them show
how to add a property that returns a class object.

By using the examples in the above pages I've managed to get most of it
working.
It now:
- Adds an addition property (that stores and returns a MyInfoSettings
object) to the property grid when a control is selected
- Displays a ... button in the property grid when the MyInfo property is
selected and displays a form to allow the user to set the property
The only thing it doesn't do is save the property value.
I get a "Visual Studio cannot save or load instances of the type
MyProject.MyInfoSettings because the type doesn't provide any supported way
of saving or loading itself."
I was hoping it would add something like the following into the code when I
saved the form, but it doesn't.
this.myInfo.SetMyInfo(this.button1, new MyInfoSettings(true, false, "Help
Button Info"));
What do I need to do to make it save?
Thanks for your help
