- Category - specifies the category in which the property appears when the property window is sorted by category. This can be one of the existing categories, or your own custom category

I spoke too soon. I STILL don't see anything in the property sheet. I don't even see the property itself on the "base" class, but I do see the property in a subclass, just no description. I must be missing something pretty basic.
[update]
Yep, it was pretty basic. I didn't have it before the public declaration. I do my private declaration, then the public with the get/set. I had the attribute before the private.
Thanks again.
