@AB Kolan: We need to go far beyond this level, sorry. – abenci May 11 '11 at 07:21
How far beyond ? What are your requirements ? – abhilash May 11 '11 at 07:24
@AB Kolan: For example changing the Add button to a DropDown list supporting different type of objects to be added. – abenci May 11 '11 at 07:30
Have you looked at Chapter 7,8,9 of this book ? – abhilash May 11 '11 at 07:30
In that case you would require something a little more advanced than the collection editor. An [UI Type Editor](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171840.aspx) may be? – abhilash May 11 '11 at 07:34
@AB Kolan: Yes, we own this book. No, I am talking about the collection editor dialog. When you edit a collection you see a standard dialog with tha Add and Remove buttons. I saw that the Add button can be customized. – abenci May 11 '11 at 07:55
