Within a usercontrol derived class I can do the following.

Bitmap whocares;

public Bitmap WhoCares {  get { return whocares; } set { whocares = value; } }

This gives me the capability to "Select Resource" for this bitmap.

What I would like to do is have a list of Bitmap, all selectable like this.

List<Bitmap> blabla = new List<Bitmap>();

public List<Bitmap> BlaBla { get { return blabla; } set { blabla = value; } }

This gives me a "Bitmap collection Editor", but it does not create valid bitmap objects.

I've created a derived class of CollectionEditor, called ImagesEditor

class ImagesEditor : CollectionEditor

{

    public ImagesEditor(Type type) : base(type)

    {

    }



    protected override object CreateInstance(Type type)

    {

        UITypeEditor editor = new System.Drawing.Design.BitmapEditor();

        return editor.EditValue(this.Context, null);

    }



    protected override CollectionForm CreateCollectionForm()

    {

        CollectionForm form = base.CreateCollectionForm();

        form.Text = "List of Images Editor";

        return form;

    }

}



//somewhere else

List<Bitmap> blabla = new List<Bitmap>();

[Editor(typeof(ImagesEditor), typeof(UITypeEditor))]

[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Visible | DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)]

public List<Bitmap> BlaBla { get { return blabla; } set { blabla = value; } }

This prompts me (when clicking the add button) to select a bitmap file to import for use by my control. I want it to be "select resource".

How might I go about accomplishing this?
