Color properties in Visual Studio 2008 Windows Forms Designer

Hi

I'm working in two Windows Forms projects using Visual Studio 2008. I don't know what I did, but in one of them, in the Windows Forms designer, in properties window I can see the color selectors normally, with categories "web", "custom" and "system" sorted in tabs, as you can see in the pic below:


However in a second project, I can't see any tab, and any color preview neither:


Where can I switch this selector to the original? (as the ones you can see in the first pic),

Thanks in advance

Hi,

What I guess is that you may have customize the UITypeEditor class for the Color property somewhere in that project,could you check it? If so, you can remove the Editor attribute for the BackColor property.

Hi Zhi

At least, i never created a custom UITypeEditor class, I searched 'UITypeEditor' in entire solution with no results. Maybe Windows Forms Designer can create it in any way?.

I'm using non-standard controls, as SandDock, Ascend... This may cause a UI modify?.

Regards.
