Grouping properties (like Font does)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Just a quick question, I hope.

I'm ending up with a lot of similar property names (because they all relate
to the same area of the control) eg CaptionText, CaptionTextColour,
CaptionBackground, CaptionHasGradient, CaptionGradientStart,
CaptionGradientEnd to name just a few.

I know properties like Font collect these 'sub-details' together into a
group (so you only see +Font in the properties until you click on the + and
see all the Bold, Italic, FontName, etc).

I know how to put properties into the Categories, like Appearance, but how
do I gather linked properties together as Font does? For example, it would
make sense to just have '+CaptionBackground', and within that have the
colours, gradient choice, etc.

Thanks in advance for your assistance,

Ann-Marie
