How can I make this control?

[Mick Dugan]

Hi guys,

 

I need a control that�s similar to the properties window in Visual Studio.net. Namely, a grid consisting of two columns separated by a splitter bar. Labels would go in the left column, while text boxes and combo boxes would reside in the right column.

 

I kind of made on myself by putting 2 panels and a splitter bar within a third panel, but it has limitations (i.e. no combo boxes, and I can�t make the fixed single border of the text box anything but black). Is what I�m looking for readily available, or will I have to purchase it from a third party?

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers,

Yes, that's the appearence of what I'm looking for, but that can only be used to change the appearence of various controls properties at run time. I need to put my own controls into that grid

Why can't you just use the property grid itself? It's pretty powerful and can do a lot of cool stuff. I guess, what specifically are you trying to do? [becuase it does a lot already]

 

Some more informaiton.
