Hi,

How do I instruct the Properties Window to display a custom string in the
object name drop-down list for the selected context/item?

Currently it displays the fully qualified class name of my object.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Hermo

Hi,

According to information at this link:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/6932yca4.aspx

"If the object does not have a Name property, a name is not displayed in the
Name area of the object list. You can add a Name property method to the
object if you want the name displayed in the object list."

My object does have a name property, but still no name for the object is
displayed in the drop down list of the Property Window. Only the type name is
displayed.

I am working with a managed object here that implements ISelectionContainer
and expose properties.

What am I missing?

Regards,

Hermo
