Can one master control contain multiple controls?

I would like to create a barcode control that can represent multiple barcode types. Each barcode type will have it's own set of properties. The main control would have a property to select a barcode type and then depending on the selection, that barcode type would present it's properties to the properties window. Is this possible? Does anyone have an article reference to this model?
thanks

Since you're trying to change the way the property grid handles this class, you probably should consider making a custom editor and display for the property grid directly.

This would be done by creating your own UITypeEditor and TypeConverter. I'd recommend taking a look at this article for ideas:
