- Provide some built-in editors for certain types of options.
- Customized editors can be integrated into the grid easily.
- Hint for each option/property could be integrated.
- Exclusive options defined in the data model could be reflected back to the property grid.
Extra:
- A text editor to edit command line directly, and any change to the options in the text may be reflected back to the property grid, and vice-versa.
- Provide immediate hints to an option highlighted in the property grid or in the text editor.
- Test-run a Windows command line without opening Windows' command prompt.
