Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the PropertyTabAttribute to specify a property tab. The code example defines a component that exposes the properties of another selected component by type.

Remarks

The PropertyTabAttribute lets you add a new property page to a PropertyGrid control. The PropertyTabAttribute can add additional property tabs to expose property information other than a component's default set of properties.

Constructors

PropertyTabAttribute()

Initializes a new instance of the PropertyTabAttribute class.

PropertyTabAttribute(String, PropertyTabScope)

Initializes a new instance of the PropertyTabAttribute class using the specified tab class name and tab scope.

PropertyTabAttribute(String)

PropertyTabAttribute(Type, PropertyTabScope)

Initializes a new instance of the PropertyTabAttribute class using the specified type of tab and tab scope.

PropertyTabAttribute(Type)

Initializes a new instance of the PropertyTabAttribute class using the specified type of tab.
