Properties Windows in Visual Studio

In the "Properties Window" in the Visual Studio Environment. When you click
on Categorized View, properties are grouped by property types with an
collapsible icon next to the type name. That would be a nice feature for my
application. Is the Property Window something I have to develop or if it is
available somewhere? If I have to build it what control should I use?

Thanks for reading this message
 
Hi,

This control is part of the .NET framework. It is called the PropertyGrid and is
in the System.Windows.Forms namespace.

It is not included in the VS.NET Toolbox by default, but you can add it yourself.

Best regards,

Rodger

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