I made a custom control for WinForms in C#. One of it’s properties is an audio stream that will be played at some point. Is there a way I can tell VS that this property should be chosen from the resource manifest (specifically audio resources) with a property or similar?
The commented property is an audio stream.
This is how it shows in the WinForms designer.
This is what you get when you click the edit […] button. I want this to be replaced by an resource chooser.
What you are looking for is:
This attribute let you specify a specific editor to be used when that property is displayed in a property grid.
You can then derive and create your new editor from a base type. The base type must be or must derive from System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor.
In most case, when the Editor is invoked, you pop-up a form of your choice, and bind its return value to your property.
UITypeEditor has 4 virtual methods and one virtual property that let you change all the behavior when someone interact with your property or when your property is painted in the grid.
