My EditorAttribute is ignored

[angedelamort]

Hello,

I've got a weird problem with my code. I've created an UITypeEditor:

public class ColorPickerEditor : UITypeEditor {...}

and use it properly:

[Editor(typeof(TypeEditor.ColorPickerEditor), typeof(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))]
public System.Drawing.Color TestColorDrawing { get; set; }

[Editor(typeof(TypeEditor.ColorPickerEditor), typeof(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))]
public Vector4 TestColorV4D { get; set; }

The Editor for the Vector4 works perfectly. The problem is for the other one. If I put a breakpoint in my class, my ColorPickerEditor is never called(instanciated) for the System.Drawing.Color. It seems that the default ColorConverter is used instead of my override.

Anyone has a workaround or ideas?

I would try this:

[Editor(typeof(TypeEditor.ColorPickerEditor), typeof(System.Drawing.Design.ColorEditor))]
public System.Drawing.Color TestColorDrawing { get; set; }

ColorEditor doesn't exist. I've did some seach, but it seems that only TypeConverter exist for the type Color. And if we read the doc about the ctor of the EditorAttribute:

Summary:
Initializes a new instance of the System.ComponentModel.EditorAttribute class with the type and the base type.

Parameters:
type: A System.Type that represents the type of the editor.
baseType: The System.Type of the base class or interface to use as a lookup key for the editor. This class must be or derive from System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor.

we cannot put a TypeConverter as the second parameter.

It is strange. The class exists. But I've not try it.

Looks like I made a mistake with my search, and I didn't have the reference "System.Drawing.Design". But after trying your idea, it doesn't change anything to the problem. I've also tried to inherit from it, but same conclusion.
