Hello

Just to be sure ...

is it necessary to develop my own UITypeEditor if I want edited a property
define with Enum type in PropertyGrid during design time

For example : Control.Anchors is editing with
System.Windows.Forms.Design.AnchorEditor (with specific visual effect ...)

If my property is Enum type >> Visual Studio and PropertGrid show a combobox
to change the value of my property > Perfect !

on enum property with flag attribute, It would be very nice if Visual studio
show the same comboBox with multiple selection allowed

thanks for your help

The AnchorStyles enum and has its own AnchorEditor which drops a custom
control (AnchorUI)

Stephen Toub has a good implementation of a UITypeEditor for flagged
enums on GotDotNet :

Thanks a lot for your help : it is exactly what I searched !!

I develop for Pocket PC device.

So If I want use correctly this editor, it is necessary to include it in
another assembly wich don't use System.CF.Windows.Forms

If I do not this >> Visual Studio throw an exception when I try do show the
editor in PropertyGrid because type mismatch !!

In fact, when an assembly use for example "System.Windows.Forms" and
"System.CF.Windows.Forms" it would be perfect If I could say to compilator
for one code line : "hey, guy, don't use "System.CF.Windows.Forms" I prefer
you use "System.Windows.Forms")

Any one may be known an issu to do this ??
