Displaying custom dialog editor for a cell
posted

I am working on implementing an editable property grid.  Most of the time I can simply use the stock embeddable editor, but there are a few places where I will need to display my own dialog.  I would like to stick with the standard <...> button at the right of the cell to open the custom editor dialog:

Do you have any code examples of implementing this type of feature?  I know it can be done because you do it in your custom property control during design time with your controls:)

    What you are describing here is the .NET PropertyGrid control making use of the UITypeEditor designated as the designer for a particular property. The easiest way to get that functionality is to use that very same control, and assing a reference to the object being edited to the PropertyGrid's SelectedObject property.
