Hi all,

I have a list of custom DataGridViewColumns that each have a bool field called "Static" to indicate if it should be used during "quick filter" in my user control. My aim is to present a list of all the custom columns with their "Static" values to the user/designer on the forms editor. The problem is that I cannot figure out a decent way of doing this.

I had a Dictionary property that consisted of the name of the custom column as the key and the "Static" field as the value. That displays correctly in the designer but when changing a value it removes the name from the list and only adds (true/false) where the custom column's name was.

Any ideas as to how to approach this seemingly tricky task would be greatly appreciated.
