Custom control , custom properties

udikantz

Hey everyone , i am working on a custom control, i was wondering how could i make a property which acts like a list so you could add a list of integers or strings to it through the designer. for example when you add items to a combobox you got a "..." button near items in the designer and when you click it you can add a list of items through the designer , i was wondering how could i achieve that. thank you for your time.

For every thing (turn, turn) there is a datatype, and a UITypeEditor for every editing-purpose, under Heaven. Add a reference to "System.Design" and "System.Drawing.Design".

Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports System.Drawing.Design
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.ComponentModel.Design

Public Class UserControl1

Private mMyText As String

<Editor(GetType(MultilineStringEditor), GetType(Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))> \_
Public Property MyText() As String
    Get
        Return mMyText
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As String)
        mMyText = value
    End Set
End Property

End Class

Happy Programming!
