Add TrackBar to PropertyGrid - C#

Hi, Ive been trying to add a trackbar to the property grid form element in c#. Unfortanely i only find you can draw pre defined controls with UIType Editor and Control Paint. (Checkboxes, border style and little more). Does anybody have some feeling about if this is possible? To draw a trackbar on a property grid? Thank u

Look at this example: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/tutorials/aspnet/270e9432-d236-47e7-b1af-5cd3abe27a75/net-propertygrid-control.aspx[^] Copy the UIListBoxEditor class in the example, rename it to UITrackBarEditor, and replace the ListBox control with a TrackBar. Beth p.s. - A much better example is here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/dropdownproperties.aspx[^]

Hi, You are correct. The Microsoft PropertyGrid only allows a simple textbox, a textbox + button, or a textbox + dropdown button as inplace editors. Therefore you have 2 solutions: 1. Either host your trackbar in the dropdown window appearing when you click the dropdown button. You will need a UITypeEditor for that. 2. Or use a third party PropertyGrid like Smart PropertyGrid which allows many more types of inplace controls, the trackbar being one of them.
