This walkthrough is made up of the following activity:

• Adding code for the SelectionChanged event for the property grid

Adding code to the selChangePropGrid event

To write the code in Visual Basic

• Right-click in any section of frmDesigner, and click on View Code to display the code view for the Windows Form. Add the following code to create the selChangePropGrid event.

To write the code in C#

• Double-click on frmDesigner to see the code view for the Windows form. Add the following code to create the selChangePropGrid event.

The following example shows what the code for the method looks like.

' Visual Basic
Private Sub selChangePropGrid()
        cnt = Me.Designer1.Selection.Count - 1
        Dim selectedControls(cnt) As Object
        Try
            For i = 0 To Me.Designer1.Selection.Count - 1
                selectedControls.SetValue(CType(Me.Designer1.Selection(i), Object), i)
            Next
            Me.PropertyGrid1.SelectedObjects = selectedControls
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(Me, ex.Message + ": " + ex.Source + ": " + ex.StackTrace, _
		"Selection Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
        End Try
End Sub

//C#
private void selChangePropGrid(){int cnt = this.designer1.Selection.Count;
	System.Object[] selectedControls = new object[cnt];
	try
	{
		for(int i=0;i<this.designer1.Selection.Count;i++)
		{
			selectedControls.SetValue((System.Object)this.designer1
				.Selection[i],i);
		}
		this.propertyGrid1.SelectedObjects = selectedControls;
	}
	catch(Exception ex)
	{
		MessageBox.Show(this,ex.Message + ": " + ex.Source + ": " + ex.StackTrace,
			"Selection Error",MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
	}
}
