I have a class that will be edited via the CollectionEditor/CollectionForm
UI. To that extent I have defined the various properties I want editable for
my class. However, three of the properties are of type string but I would
like them edited by selection from a dropdown list whose contents are
determined at runtime.
It looks like I might be able to use the ICustomTypeDescriptor interface to
do what I need. In particular, if I could override the GetEditor method to
create a specialized UITypeEditor for these three properties then I think
this would do the trick.
The only problem is that I cannot see how I know, when GetEditor is being
invoked, which property it is being invoked for!
Thanks,

ICustomTypeDescriptor.GetEditor refers to the editor for the specific class
that implements ICustomTypeDescriptor. To provide an editor for a specific
property you'll have to use the EditorAttribute on the property itself.
