Populating listbox based on another listbox in Propertygrid

Question

HI,
 
Could any one please tell how to populate the values on one listbox based on the other dynamically in PropertyGrid. I am not able to get the control of the second listbox until it is explicitly selected in the property grid.

Eg:
ListBox1:
USA
India

ListBox:
If in listbox 1, USA is selected then it listbox the values should be populated as
mexico
memphsis

at the runtime without user clicking on the listbox2.

else atleast the values in ListBox should be none, so that when the user clicks on listbox2, proper values are populated.

Thanks,
Sudhi

You can do anything like this with reflection as a last resort (only because it's a bit slower)...
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista/GetControlProperties.aspx

If you know the other form name... you just iterate through the controls..

Or if you have a pointer to the form say form2 and know the control's name it's just like anything else.
form2.controlname2.property2..

HI Javaman,

Thanks for the quick reply. I am using C# and moreover the listbox in propertygrid is getting populated based on the click of the down-arrow in the propertygrid.
