Provides a base class for property tabs.

See Also: PropertyTab Members

Syntax

public abstract class PropertyTab : System.ComponentModel.IExtenderProvider

Remarks

The System.Windows.Forms.Design.PropertyTab class provides the base class behavior for a property tab. Property tabs are displayed on the toolbar of the System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid control of the Properties window, and allow a component to display different views of its properties or other data.

User code will usually not create an instance of a System.Windows.Forms.Design.PropertyTab directly. Instead, a System.ComponentModel.PropertyTabAttribute that indicates the type of the property tab or property tabs to display for a component can be associated with the properties or types that the System.Windows.Forms.Design.PropertyTab should be displayed for.

The System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid will instantiate a System.Windows.Forms.Design.PropertyTab of the type specified by a System.ComponentModel.PropertyTabAttribute associated with the type or property field of the component that is being browsed.
