The PropertyGrid and Custom Verbs

Public Class GeoffAppleby : The PropertyGrid and Custom Verbs

"... Verbs? You might have noticed them before, but they're not especially common, especially since Visual Studio itself is one of the very few places that I've seen them used. ...

... Verbs let you associate link labels with the object currently displayed within the grid. When the label is clinked, some code gets run - pretty simple.

Have you ever tried to get them to appear in your own application however? It's not simple. I thought it would be worth finally sitting down and working out exactly what was needed to get them to work. ..."


Very nice... This is a cool post and code download on how to add Verbs to your PropertyGrid.

I like the PropertyGrid and have used it in a couple projects. This post will help me provide that much better user interfaces.

But will this UI fade away when smart tags really start taking off with VS2005? Time will tell...
