SYMPTOMS
A Microsoft ActiveX control may provide display strings for a property through the IPerPropertyBrowsing interface. The Properties window caches these values. However, these values are not updated in the cache when the display strings dynamically change. The set of display strings that is provided to you may depend on other properties of the ActiveX control.

Additionally, when you change the DISPID of the property (or when DISPID is set to DISPID_UNKNOWN), and the ActiveX control calls the IPropertyNotifySink::OnChanged interface, the value of a property in the Properties window may not be updated. In the Properties window, when you change the Name property for an ActiveX Control in the Windows Forms Designer, the ActiveX control does not call the IOleControl::OnAmbientPropertyChange(DISPID_AMBIENT_DISPLAYNAME) of the control.
