Hi,

I have this custom control (derived from a TextBox) with a property. I find it bothersome to go through the (long) property list to set a simple, (for me most important) property in the property list.

So, I created a custom designer, and when I right-click the control I get a popup menu, where I can select my value. Works fine.

But, if I use the popupmenu_click handle to set the property, it doesn't get serialized on saving. Instead, the value saved is still from the property list, so that's the old value....

Now, how do I get the property list to update and reflect the new value?
Do I have to create an editor, and capture some MyPropertyChanged event, and then set it in the editor?

Currently I have the code like below.

class MyTextBox : TextBox
{
  private string myProperty
 
  public string MyProperty
  {  get { return this.myProperty; } set { this.myProperty = value; }

   .....

  protected override void OnMouseDown(System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)
 {
      if(this.DesignMode)
      {
          ContextMenu contextMenu = new ContextMenu()
          ...
          contextMenu.Show(this, new Point(e.X, e.Y));
      }
 }

 public void MenuItem_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
 {
      this.MyProperty = (e as MenuItem).Text
 }
