Question

Suppose you create a standard UserControl or a CustomControl in wpf and then declare a property of a complex type

public ComplexPropertyType AProperty { get; set; }

Complex type is a simple class with a bunch of properties

public class ComplexPropertyType 
{
    public int IntP { get; set; }

    public String Strp { get; set; }
}

At design time AProperty is not editable.

I remember that there are attributes from System.ComponentModel that permits me to specify to use a standard property editor to make that property editable, but I cannot remember.

Anyone has a solution that clearly does not require writing a custom property editor? After all If I declare in my control a property that is a collection of complex type Es.

public ObservableCollection ACollOfProperty { get; set; }

Automatically the designer use the System.ComponentModel.Design.CollectionEditor that is capable of editing my complex type

Thanks in advance.
