How to refresh the Properties Window programatically?

How to make custom properties in Properties Window to refresh upon change via code?

  • Here is some code: ReadOnly Property X() As Integer Get Return PointerX End Get End Property ReadOnly Property Y() As Integer Get Return PointerY End Get End Property Private Sub Proj_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseMove PointerX = e.X PointerY = e.Y End Sub I want to make the Properties Window to update the properties for X and Y at each MouseMove, so they become immediately visible for the user. I know it is stupid, but it is my assignment. Can somebody help me?

  • Answer:

    I would highly recommend pursuing this project in WPF using the OnPropertyChanged event to notify all listeners when a property is changed. Then, make the PropertyGrid listen to all such events on the object which it represents, updating the appropriate property. WPF is great for this stuff...

That's not a Windows Form project. You created a Windows Control Library which includes a default UserControl and when you "run", you are seeing your UserControl being hosted, which is why you are seeing a PropertyGrid control. You need to create or add a new project to your solution that is a Windows Form Application, and set it as the "Starup Project" (right mouse click the Form project and select "Set as Startup Project"). After you rebuild your solution, your UserControl "Proj" will be available from the ToolBox, which you can place on your form.
