I found the AngleEditor and applied the changes to my
codes. It did display my custom control correctly.
However when I proceded to pick the coordinate location,
which is in a seperate window, the control never received
the input. Probably because the control is dismissed
when you click outside of it. If I type the coordinate
in the custom control it works correctly.
There seems to be a dialog created behind the scenes
which hosts the control. This dialog also seems to be
altering the focus. When the PropertyGrid is displayed,
the focus is still on the main window of the app. When
you click the down button the focus is no longer on the
main window of the app.
I know AutoCAD had a control on the PropertyGrid which
works the way I want mine to. I don't know if they have
created a custom PropertyGrid or not.
Any thoughts??
