Hi!

Yes the property sheet is greyed out (disabled/readonly). This is an MDI Parent Form with a MenuStrip, ToolStrip, BindingNavigator, StatusStrip etc. and it would be much easier to viusally add options to the menustrip and buttons to the toolstrip than by code.

Is this a know bug/proglem? If it is then it is pretty serious one and hopefully should be fixed ASAP.

Thanks

Sarosh
