Property Grid Custom Popup

I am using the PropertyGrid control, and have been trying some demos from
CodeProject, but cannot seem to find a specific item. I want to simply have
a string property, and on the property I want an ellipsis button that I will
bring up a custom winforms form. The winforms form builds a complex string.
When exiting the winforms form, I simply want to fill the string back into
the property. Specific instructions would be much appreciated!
