My EditorAttribute is ignored

Hello,

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

Code:

---

public class ColorPickerEditor : UITypeEditor {...}

---

and use it properly:

Code:

---

[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:

Code:

---

[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:

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.

Sorry, I've no futher advice at this time :(
