Hi,

In older versions the Editor attribute was set independently for each Brush property. In version 4.3 we have associated the Editor attribute with the Brush class, so the editor should be available for your custom properties too. We haven't released V4.3 yet - if you wish, try that with the beta version here:

I think this form of the Editor attribute can be used with internal classes too:

[Editor("MindFusion.Drawing.Design.BrushEditor,
   FlowChart.NET, Version=X.X.X.X, Culture=neutral,
   PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", typeof(UITypeEditor))]

Replace the X-es above with the exact numbers from your version of the FlowChart.NET assembly. You can see the assembly's PublicKeyToken using the ILDASM tool.

Hi,

You can create instances of everything through reflection. Probably the property grid just looks what Editor is specified in the metadata for a property, and instantiates it without checking the access attributes specified for the editor class.

I believe the FCDemo uses the standard PropertyGrid class to display box properties as well, and the brush editor works from there even if FCDemo and PropertyGrid are not in the same assembly or namespace as BrushEditor.
