Hi Michael,

it is a little bit different scenario and this will not work that easy ...
it is not only the case to remember the last selected propertyitem for an selectedobject -> when different instance is displayed in propertygrid I want to expand down to the property with the same name (in fact in the same path) programmatically as user did for first instance

lets assume you have on the left side list of an objects X, on the right the property grid
1. user selects X1 -> PropertyGrid.SelectedObject = X1
2. user expands the properties i.e RootProp -> Prop1 -> Prop2 -> and selects 'Name'
3. user selects from the list different object -> PropertyGrid.SelectedObject = X2
    here I want to expand down to the 'Name' for this instance of X, at this point the Prop1, Prop2 and Name are not yet generated

also without reflection it is not possible to get the properties path -> SourceObject of PropertyGridPropertyItem is internal as well as ParentItem property.

so the question is:
when SelectedObject is changed to different instance of an object X how to programmatically expand multiple levels down to specific property ?

P.S
either calling Select() on a PropertyGridPropertyItem or assiging PropertyGrid.SelectedItem does not work

Best regards,
Krzysztof
