public Control FormContainer { get { return _FormContainer; } set { _FormContainer = value; } }
When I create a form derived from my baseform I see the FormContainer property in the propertygrid of the property window, as it should be. But when I click on the combobox of that property to select a value, I see all the controls of my baseform, even the private ones. I even see them in the combox (just above the toolstrip with categorized,...) on top of the property window.
Is there a way to hide the private controls for the propertygrid, so that inheritors can not select them?
Thanks in advance
Kind Regards
Frederik

You can implement a custom type converter and apply it to your FormContainer property. You can fill the dropdown on your own by providing your own implementation of GetStandardValues.

Hi Frederik,
Since this is a Winform design-time specific issue, I will move this thread to the best match forum to get better help. Thanks.
