This example shows how to create and use a ButtonEdit descendant that will support multi-line text like MemoEdit.
This descendant's repository items have three additional properties:
RepositoryItemMultiLineButtonEdit.AcceptsReturn - gets or sets a value specifying whether return characters can be inserted into text.
RepositoryItemMultiLineButtonEdit.AcceptsTab - gets or sets a value specifying whether a user can insert tab characters into text.
RepositoryItemMultiLineButtonEdit.ScrollBars - gets or sets a value indicating which scrollbars are displayed.

I am trying to follow this example. However, in my application, after I add the MultiLineButtonEdit Code and Bitmap to my project, the following happens:
1. The ellipsis do not show on the control in the designer like the example does.
2. The graphic does not show in the RepositoryItem toolbox dropdown when selecting the columnedit.
Other than those two cosmetic issues, the button does function. Any idea on what I can do to fix these two minor issues?
