CMFCPropertyGridProperty with multi line edit box

How to create a multi line property with edit box? I need one more property that will show text in multi line box.

CMFCPropertyGridProperty* pGroup1 = new CMFCPropertyGridProperty(_T("Appearance"));
pGroup1->AddSubItem(new CMFCPropertyGridProperty(_T("Name"), (_variant_t) _T(""), _T("Specifies the text that will be displayed in the property")));
pGroup1->AddSubItem(new CMFCPropertyGridProperty(_T("Comments"), (_variant_t) _T(""), _T("Specifies the text that will be associated with the property")));
m_wndPropList.AddProperty(pGroup1);
Solution

  • It seems that multi-line properties are not implemented in MFC Property Grid. You can create a custom property with a button and show your own dialog with multi-line edit control when user click this button.
