System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid

[Guest]

Here's a head scratcher.

I've got a VB.Net anchor window that I'm displaying inside the ActiveX
drawing control. It has a property grid that I'm hoping to have read/write
cells for certain shapes on the visio drawing.

I've set some properties in the grid that have dropdown list items and they
don't show up from within the anchor window. They do, however, show up when
I just run the form in it's own VS.Net project by setting it as the statup
item.

Anyone have a clue why this doesn't work?

It seems that you can't display anything modal from an anchor window. If I put a button on my anchor window that opens a modal dialog I get an exception when I close the dialog.

Would this be related to the dropdown list in the propertygrid?
