Hi there
Id like to know you create a property Group for forms and user controls. just like you would get for size, margin, padding etc
my aim (for now at least) is to be able have a borders property consisting of left, right, top,bottom. All values would be an Integer.
I could just create 4 single properties but id would much prefer to group them under like borders or something.
Ive had a bit of a look around and i think i have to create a class with the properties set within that class and then set the property on the object as that class.
any way ive tried all that and i can't get it to come out on my form properties at all, worse than that when i just added a new one to the form the properties window was blank and visual studio crashed :/
Even If I'm missing some fundamentally much easier way to achieve my goal of the borders, I'd still like to know how to do the property group as it'll probably come in handy
please note value are currently in boolean as that was the original idea but writing this i decided that integer would give me much more functionality in fact i might even go for palet color and default it to transparent or something who knows
any way here is my class
and my usage
many thanks
Ian

End Propertymany thanks
