Can you change the name that displays in the object properties pallet through Dynamic Properties class? If so how? Thanks, Andy

Do I need to create a new properties class for every property that I want to add? or can I combine properties in the classes?

Hi, Try this (see dispId 0x401) STDMETHODIMP CText::GetDisplayName (DISPID dispId, BSTR *propName) { switch (dispId) { case (0x01): // this is the property name title string *propName = ::SysAllocString(L"my Text String"); break; // etc... case (0x401): // this changes the title of the entity *propName = ::SysAllocString(L"My Heading"); break; } return S_OK; } And yes you need one class for each different dynamic property type. cheers cyrille "Andy Elmore" wrote in message news:15528424.1081834738516.JavaMail.jive@jiveforum1.autodesk.com... > Do I need to create a new properties class for every property that I want to add? or can I combine properties in the classes? > > Andy

You are using ::GetDisplayName (DISPID dispId, BSTR *propName)
but...
the wizard generates ::GetDisplayName (DISPID dispId, BSTR *propName)

I tried over riding the function but I get an Atl COM error so what am I doing wrong am I implementing the wrong properties method?

Thanks,
Andy

::GetDisplayName (BSTR *pBstrName)
