abstract class

This class provides an abstract base for the property tabs shown in a System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid .

You can specify the TabName and a Bitmap to display in the tab. You can also get or set the array of Components for which the tab will display properties. For help support, you can set the HelpKeyword associated with the tab. The System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid will use this to manage help display for the control while it is showing.

To manage the properties of the bound components, GetProperties() will return a System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection listing the available properties, and GetDefaultProperty() will return the default System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptor .
