Hello,
How can I use the PropertyGrid control? Can anyone give an explanation of what it is for, how to use it, what you can do with it, etc.?
If you can't do the above, can you tell me how I can make it populate its property list to the properties of, for example, a label? Then let the user edit it, like its name, its text, etc?
This seems like a very interesting control and I really want to use it!

Basically this is like the properties window you see on the bottom right of the IDE window, it is a control that you can place onto the form to see the properties of other objects (e.g. other controls or classes).

Code: Select all

    Dim pg As PropertyGrid = New PropertyGrid()

    Private Sub NumericUpDown1_ValueChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NumericUpDown1.ValueChanged
        pg.SelectedObject = Me.Controls(Convert.ToInt32(NumericUpDown1.Value))
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        NumericUpDown1.Maximum = Me.Controls.Count
        pg.Top = NumericUpDown1.Top
        pg.Left = NumericUpDown1.Right
        pg.Width = 300
        pg.Height = 300
        Me.Controls.Add(pg)
    End Sub
