Hi Bujar,

yes, you can create your controls dynamically and make use of the PropertyGrid to make changes to the appearance of that control.

Hope this is some help.

Modified:

This is what I found out:
I created a form that contained a PropertyGrid a Panel and a Button. The buttons event handler creates a new button button = new Button() and adds that to the panel Panel1.Controls.Add(button).
The property grid is hooked to the button via PropertyGrid1.ObjectSelected = button and presto: A button was dynamically created and can be manipulated via the property grid.

Ain't that .NET framework neat ;)

End Modification:

Cheers

Manfred

C#

private void AddControls_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           Button newButton = new Button { Text = "New Button" };
           CheckBox newCheckBox = new CheckBox { Text = "New CheckBox", ThreeState = true };
           List<Control> lst = new List<Control>();
           lst.Add(newButton);
           lst.Add(newCheckBox);
           this.Controls.AddRange(lst.ToArray());
       }
