I suggest that you use the PropertyDefinitionsSource and PropertyDefinitionTemplateSelector properties to accomplish this task. PropertyDefinitionTemplateSelector allows selecting an appropriate property template for each item in the PropertyDefinitionsSource collection. To use a ComboBoxEdit for property editing, use the PropertyDefinition.CellTemplate property. You can use the same property to assign a tooltip.
I have modified the example from the Q501861: PropertyGridControl and ExpandoObject thread to demonstrate this approach.
Thanks,
Alexander Rus
