Maybe I should have been more clear in my answer. There is no correct way to do this. The article you posted uses internal control names to find the proper control inside the PropertyGrid. The name "System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGridInternal.PropertyGridView+GridViewEdit" is internal to the PropertyGrid and could be changed by Microsoft. So this means your application may just stop working at some point.

Using Reflection (or in this case internal control names), you can gain access to any field/property/method/event in a .Net class. This includes all private and internal members. It is highly recommended that you don't do this, because again the creator of the class can change the inner workings at anytime (thus breaking your application).

That aside, the article's code is pretty straight forward. An attribute is created so that the developer can mark each appropriate property with a "format". Then the custom PropertyGrid looks for that format and restricts the input.

I *think* that you would need to:

1. Create an attribute that takes a maximum length and apply this attribute to your properties.
2. In CustomPropertyGrid, you can remove the m_TextBox_TextChanged method, because you won't need to use that to enforce the max length.
3. In CustomPropertyGrid, replace the parts of code where the m_TextBox_TextChanged method is assigned to and removed from the TextChanged event so that you set and reset the MaxLength property, respectivly.

Give it a shot, if you have problems then email me and I can help you work through it.
Take care,
Tom
