There's no way to have a file selector, color picker, listbox or whatever clickable in the PEM window for the custom properties. None that I know; I had to tell him to be satisfied with the comment available, it will at least give some hunch to anyone who uses the class as to what the property should represent. Still, I'd like to be able to declare the type of the property (numeric, integer, integer in the range 0-10, color integer, filename, picture filename, icon filename...).

But that only works at run time. I think Dragan is talking about design time. If I added a property to a class and wanted the possible inputs to be 1,2,3,4,5 only. When I wanted to use that class I could drop on a form and in the PEM window for that propert a drop down would appear with 1,2,3,4,5 for me to select from.
