IntelliSense - Structure to behave like an Enumeration

[nsphelt]

Hi. I’ve noticed that in when setting a variable of type Color to something inVB.NET, that IntelliSense gives you a list of Color structures when you hit equals as though the structure were an enumeration. I am wondering if it is possible to duplicate this behaviour.

I have created a structure that has shared properties that return instances of that structure to act as though it were an enumeration, but I would like to get IntelliSense to automatically display those properties in a list when I hit equals after a variable declared as my structure.

Any ideas?

Those are all just public static properties of the Color struct I think.
So all you would need to do would be add public static properties to your struct

Yes, that is exactly what I have done, and obviously I can access them by first putting in the name of my class, but IntelliSense does not automatically display them after hitting equals like it does for the Color structure.

Hmm, that's a strange one. I don't usually work with structs. I know I get the behavior you want when I work with enums. Wish I could help.

Hmm, the color struct also has the following properties that might help it?

[Serializable]
[TypeConverter(typeof(ColorConverter))]
[Editor("System.Drawing.Design.ColorEditor, System.Drawing.Design, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a", typeof(UITypeEditor))]
