setting properties via properties window during runtime

[Patrick]

I remeber seeing a sample on th e.net (and in fact i tried this too - but
lost the source code), to achieve the following.

Dropping a control onto a form, which is exactly like the properties window,
and can be used to set the properties of a control, esp command buttom.

Anyone out there know how this is done,
I just can't remeber and its eating me.

tks

You can use VS.NET's property grid control
('System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid' class).
