Could anyone help me out on something that is confusing. I’m trying to create a grid to store information for example document details: (name, type, summary as example headers).

When the summary is too large for the cell of the grid I would like to have a button that would open a new control where the user is able to view more information.

Is it possible to to this using a propertyGrid and would anyone be able to point me in the right direction on information on doing this?

I was thinking it might be a case of writing a surrogate class and expose the objects created on it?

Thanks

    Yes it is posible.

    You should create your own type that will provide document details as a set of type properties. You should then attach an instance of this type to the PropertyGrid. You can use attributes to change property visibility, editor, description and the others beheviours.

    See Getting the Most Out of the .NET Framework PropertyGrid Control for further details.
