Show embedded relationship property in property grid

Question

I'd like to edit an embedded relationship in the propery grid.
I've already read through some other threads and was able to create a custom UITypeEditor which worked also quite fine.

See:

• http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vsx/thread/348c3ed6-1e49-4871-8708-6b6278cd2b90/

The embedded relation that I use is 0..n. So there would be no other way than a custom editor. The only problem that I have now is, that the property is not shown in the grid at all.
So I'm not able to get my custom editor called. I've read something promising in another thread, but unfortunately the link mentioned there is down.
(See: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/dslvsarchx/thread/12388765-df26-47d5-89af-e4db3c06d576)

Help is much appreciated as this is the final puzzle piece that is left.

Thanks in advance.

About the last referenced thread that mentions a broken link, I invite you to go to this address (http://mexedge.wordpress.com/2009/09/02/provide-an-improved-user-experience-to-your-dsls/). We're migrating to Wordpress.

Answer 2

I've found a much easier way to solve my problem.

As my embedded relation was not shown in the property window, I just created a dummy property and used my custom editor.

When the editor is called the whole DSL class is used at the context and not only the property. So it's some kind of a small workaround, but it works.
