mooman_fl Posted February 9, 2003 Posted February 9, 2003 Ok... I have the need now to finally dip into the world of databases and have no experience what-so-ever in them. In the app I am working on I need to have a control that works like the Properties window in the VS IDE. On the surface this looks like a simple DataGrid but in operation it seems to work alot different. Anyone know what control they are using or one that works like that one? To be specific I need one that will let me have the drop-down list for some properties and the buttons (a la Collections) in some. I also need the collapsable properties with the plus/minus sign... but without the sub items looking like hyperlinks. I have looked over the DataGrid control because that seems closest to what I need but it just doesn't seem to have any settings for these things so I would assume that I am barking up the wrong tree. Can someone point me in the right direction? Quote "Programmers are tools for converting caffeine into code." Madcow Inventions -- Software for the Sanity Challenged.
*Gurus* divil Posted February 9, 2003 *Gurus* Posted February 9, 2003 The PropertyGrid control in the IDE is part of the framework and easy to use in your own applications. Go to Customize Toolbar, click on the .NET tab and it will be in the list for you to check. I don't know why it isn't checked by default, but it isn't.
