Simple way to display/edit custom class properties

[flycast]

I have a custom class. It is built from other custom classes. All the classes have properties that are basic types like integer, double or string. I want a simple way to display and edit the attributes of the class. I will be adding properties to the class as I am developing the app.

I have looked at propertyGrid. It seems to do very well at simple top level properties. When it gets to a property that is a class of simple datatype properties then it just displays the class name grayed out.

I am looking for a simple way to display and edit a custom class in a hierarchy that reflects the underlying class.

Any ideas or pointers to custom controls out there?

That PropertyGrid control is the very same control that is used in the VS Properties window. As you can see, it handles composition without issue. What's required is a few attributes on appropriate types and/or members so that the PropertyGrid control knows to look inside the type of a property to see what it's made of. To be honest, I don't know exactly what attributes are required and where. I'm sure I've read it some time ago but it's not something that I've ever had to do so that information has been lost. That's what you need to look for though. If I had to do it myself, here's where I'd start:
