The ExPropertiesList/ExPropertiesGrid control (similar to the control used to manipulate properties in Visual Studio) provides an efficient, intuitive and visually compact way to handle data input with minimal coding and user interface design. The ExPropertiesList component is easy to use and integrate into your application. The ExPropertiesList component lets the user changes its visual appearance using skins, each one providing an additional visual experience that enhances viewing pleasure. Skins are relatively easy to build and put on any part of the control.

Features include:

• Print and Print Preview support.
• Skinnable Interface support ( ability to apply a skin to any background part )
• Ability to browse any object that selected object contains, including COM or/and .NET objects.
• Ability to insert multiple COM or/and .NET objects in the same browser.
• Ability to add custom properties.
• Ability to include properties with multiple parameters, of any type (predefined type or not).
• Built-in HTML support, including icons, pictures, font and colors.
• Filter-Prompt support, allows you to filter the properties as you type while the filter bar is always visible on the bottom part of the list area.
• Properties of Color type (support for EBN skin objects)
• Tooltip Support.
• Hierarchical layout
• Browse collections and their items.
• Browse property pages.
• Browse object categories.
• Incremental search support, including expanding the object properties for looking inside.
• Ability to filter properties.
• It supports virtually all common data types including Variant, Byte, Boolean, (Long) Integer, Single, Double, Currency, Font, Icon, Picture, Date and more
• Built-in editors includes font, calendar, boolean combo, enumeration combo, colors, spin, slider, masked edit control and more

The control includes the ability to browse any COM object that exposes an implementation of IDispatch interface. For instance, any VB class provides an implementation for IDispatch interface, so the ExPropertiesList is able to browse your VB objects.  Another nice feature that control provides is browsing collections and their items. If you have a collection, the ExPropertiesList can browse their items! More than that the ExPropertiesList control expands your objects. For instance, If your object provides a property that exports another object, the ExPropertiesList control is able to browse the exported object.

All that you have to do to see it running, is to insert an instance of ExPropertiesList control to your form, and then to select the object that you want to browse, by calling Select method. That's all! If it is too much try this: PropertiesList1.Select PropertiesList1
