Well, couldn't find an easy way to do it because everything used
internal classes, so one of the guys here came up with a "superhack".

Basically he got the hwnd of the main VS.NET application and then was
able to traverse through all the internal windows of VS.NET.

When he came across the "Properties" window he was able to do a
ControlFromHwnd to get an actual VS control object for the properties
window..

He was then able to traverse down through all of the windows inside
that one to get access to all the internal conrols/classes that were
being used.  That way we were able to actually get a handle to the
TextBox controls that are used in the Property Grid.  We then added a
DoubleClick handler to all the textbox controls.

using a type.InvokeMember method to invoke the built in
SelectedPropertyDescriptor attribute to get the actual custom
PropertyDescriptor object that we created that was currently selected
and had just been double clicked.

Seems like a whole lot of work for something that would seem intirely
simple, but what can you do :)

We're sure that some day we will come across a 2 line solution for what
we are trying to do... LOL

Hello,

I want to implement functionality similar to the Windows Forms Designer for
the Events tab, where double clicking on a property triggers an event.

I found an older post about a "super-hack" to make this work by BRCEWANE.
I'm hoping someone can help me here with a code sample...

Best Regards,
Daren.
