Bonnie,

Thanks. That was one of the things I had tried, but that isn't the behavior I'm after. What I want is for the default value of the property to be DropDownList, but still be changeable at design-time by the developer. And if you right-click the property on the property sheet and click Reset, then I want it to be reset to DropDownList. I know this has to be possible and should be easy.

TIA,
Chad
