Hello,

when working with vb6 I found it very useful that the properties panel
could be accessed with a shortcut key during form design. When pressing
ctrl+shift+<letter> the first property in the property panel starting
with <letter> was highlighted.

Does anybody know how to do the same in .net?

Thanks,

Hi Sascha,

I don´t think that is possible in VS.NET since the Properties window is
implemented with a toolwindow and a System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid
control. This control is reusable and therefore not highly integrated with
VS.NET. You pass it an object (or object array) and it handles everything,
raising an event when a property value changes. Apart from that it offers
little or no functionality for your request and most of its implementation
is protected/private.

If you want to consider 3rd party tools, my MZ-Tools add-in provides a
Control Explorer feature with a property grid that allows you to customize
which properties you want to see in it, rather than the dozens of properties
of the typical control. Maybe it can help you.
