provide several values for a String property

[Oleg Ogurok]

Hi all,

If you look at the properties window of a HyperLink control (during the
design time), you'll notice that its property Target is a System.String,
which has several pre-defined values, such as "_self", "_blank", etc.
Moreover, the designer allows you to enter your own custom property value.

How can I implement the same behavior in my custom control? Is there an
Attribute one can use to supply several pre-defined values?

-Oleg.

Yes. You can assign a TypeConverter to your property, and use the
GetStandardValues and GetStandardValuesExclusive methods.
