DefaultValue for System.Drawing.SystemColors

Question

I have a line color property in my custom grid control. I want it to default to Drawing.SystemColors.InactiveBorder. I tried:

[DefaultValue(typeof(System.Drawing.SystemColors), "InactiveBorder")]
public Color LineColor { get; set; }

But it doesn't seem to work. How do I do that with the default value attribute?

Answer 1

You need to change first argument from SystemColors to Color.
It seems that there is no type converter for the SystemColors type, only for the Color type.

[DefaultValue(typeof(Color),"InactiveBorder")]
