property grid shared between two forms

Question

Hi all,

Is it possible a property grid could be shared between two forms?

Right now, when the grid initializes and shown in a form, everything's fine.

But when another form hosting the same grid shown, the grid in the first form disappears.

Thanks.

Each instance of Control has one and only one window handle. If you add a control twice, it will always be removed from the first container (since there is only one handle). You must create a second property grid.
