PropertyGrid not showing properties of an interface

Question

I want to use the property grid (propertygrid) to allow a GUI to view the properties of an class through one of its interfaces.

I can see the interface properties in the object viewer and in debug mode. This interface comes from a dll that I don't access to modify, so I can't add anything to it. The Igobject comes from a an imported reference in the project. most of the properties are simple types (int, string, doubles), and some are custom complex types but I don't need those for now. Any suggestions?

is there anything special that would prevent the propertygrid object not to show the properties. for example:

VB

Dim lobject As IgObject
        lobject = _galaxy.CurrentObject
        PropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = lobject

Solution 1

I tried to explain how to work with property grid in my past solution, in response to this question:
How to get response when click PropertyGrid[^].

This is not very easy though.

Solution 2

I don't have access to modify the Interface attributes, So I can't add any attributes at compile time. most properties as simple types, why it doesn't show those?
