Hi Bonnie,

Thanks for the reply. I'll take a look and let you know what I find out. It's interesting cause I can get dropdown enum types to display in the Properties Window fine but I think this must be a bit of a different beast. Must be doable though, cuase it works for the NavigateUrl Property of the built in Hyperlink control.

I figured that you would have to at least look at using Attributes, since they pretty much control design-time stuff. I did a search on MSDN for "attributes NavigateURL", and one of the pages is this:

>>In the Properties Window for the ASP.NET Hyperlink control, the NavigateUrl property invokes a dialog to select/build the desired Url. I have a Custom Control that has a similar Url custom property string. How do you get the Properties Window interface for the custom property to display the dialog to the user to build the Url? Haven't been able to find anything in the Help or Google on this.
