AutoCAD's Properties Palette - once known as the Object Properties Manager (OPM) - is a very handy way to display properties inside your application, whether those properties are associated with individual objects or with the application itself. The Properties Palette uses COM to communicate with the object(s) in question, and has always required the use of C++ to expose particular interfaces that control the display of the properties in the palette, so its functionality has not been available to developers using managed .NET languages such as C# and VB.NET. There is some portion of the Properties Palette functionality exposed via the Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.ToolPalette namespace, such as the IAcPiPropertyDisplay interface allowing objects and commands to customize the display of properties in the property inspector window, but this is far from complete. This library looks at exposing more of the standard Properties Palette functionality to .NET languages.
