need help with propertygrid...

[lidds]

I have defined a propertygrid calling standard system colour resources. The problem is that I can't figure out how to make the propertygrid on runtime to select the colour red, I have tried entering the following into the defaultvalueattribute on the propertygrid.

 

See code below:

 

    
  Private _colour As System.Drawing.Color
  <CategoryAttribute("Colour"), _
   DefaultValueAttribute("Red"), _
   DescriptionAttribute("Select a colour")> _
   Public Property Colour() As System.Drawing.Color
       Get
           Return _colour
       End Get
       Set(ByVal Value As System.Drawing.Color)
           _color = Value
       End Set
   End Property

 

The problem is that it just runs the code and the colour property just keeps saying None.

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers

Private _colour As System.Drawing.Color = System.Drawing.Color.Red

Thanks a lot. Don't suppose you know how to do the same for a system font i.e. font family, size etc.

Exactly the same - just declare a variable / property of type font and assign a font to the variable.

The issue that I have got is that I am not sure exsacually sure how the naming convention should go.

 

e.g. Private _fontType As System.Drawing.Font = "Arial, 10, Bold"

 

Sorry for this, just new to the whole vb thing.
