.NET Forum / Windows Forms / Design Time / June 2007PropertyGrid.PropertyValueChanged in Design-Time
I'm not even sure if this is possible, but is there a way to access the PropertyGrid in design-time -- how to access the grid in the property pane in the VS IDE? I want to use the PropertyValueChanged event in design-time -- I can use it in runtime of course if I create a form with the PropertyGrid control on it.

Well, here's what I would like to do -- maybe there's a different way. I have two properties for a custom control that need to affect each other, so I need to be able to trap when each property change. So if my Value property changes, I need to do something to my Text property and vice versa. Right now, I don't see the change in the grid until I've clicked on the other property -- e.g., if the Value property changes, the Text property doesn't change in the property pane, but when I click on the Text property, it changes (without me doing anything else). Any ideas? (BTW, I'm cross-posting this to microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.)
