propertygrid

I'm creating a program where the user has the option of creating their own custom properties that will ultimately be displayed in a PropertyGrid . Right now I don't want to mess with custom editors, so I'm only allowing primitive type properties ( string , int , double , DateTime , bool etc.) that the PropertyGrid already has built in editors for. However, I also want to give the user the option to create multiple choice properties where they can defined a list of possible values which in turn will show up as a drop down list in the PropertyGrid . When I hard code an Enum in my code the

In PropertyGrid default color picker dialog not allow to set alpha value of color. I already made my own color picker dialog and want to use it in PropertyGrid but not sure how to do it. Jaex I managed to use my custom color picker dialog in property grid and copying code of it here in case some need it too: using System; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Design; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Windows.Forms.Design; namespace HelpersLib { public class MyColorEditor : UITypeEditor { public override UITypeEditorEditStyle GetEditStyle

public enum eVisualType { None = 0, Torch = 1, Rune01, Rune02, Rune03, FireRed01, LaserBlackWhiteLeft, LaserBlackWhiteRight, LaserBlueRedLeft, LaserBlueRedRight, Wheel01, Wheel01a, Wheel02, BlinkingStar, MovingPillar } public class EnumTypeConverter : TypeConverter { public override bool GetStandardValuesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext context) { return true; // True means show a combobox } public override bool GetStandardValuesExclusive(ITypeDescriptorContext context) { return true; // True will limit to list. false will show the list, but allow free-formentry } } public class

We have a windows form PropertyGrid that we use to display all the properties. We have drawn a checkbox on Boolean property that checks it self and unchecks itself based on the value. this all works fine. the issue is, that user wants to change the check box value in single click, whereas property grid changes it on a double click and I cant figure out a way to handle clicks or change property value on single click when property type is Boolean. Any idea about how to change property value in single click will be helpful. Thanks PropertyGrid internally has methods which allows us to use them

I'm creating a .net custom control and it should be able to load multiple text files. I have a public property named ListFiles with those properties set : [Browsable(true), Category("Configuration"), Description("List of Files to Load")] public string ListFiles { get { return m_oList; } set { m_oList = value; } } Depending upon the type of object, (string, string[], List, ...), the property grid will allow the user to enter some data.. My goal would be to have a filtered openfiledialog in the Properties Grid of my component that would enable the user to choose multiple files and return it as

I can't find any list of the available attributes for the PropertyGrid in C#, do you know where I can find one? Thanks. The attributes that impact PropertyGrid are indirect: the interesting code is the TypeDescriptor which provides the PropertyDescriptor implementation. However, this van be overruled by ICustomTypeDescriptor or TypeDescriptionProvider. However, if we assume the default rules, the key attributes in play are: [DisplayName(...)] [Description(...)] [Category(...)] [TypeConverter(...)] [ReadOnly(...)] [Browsable(...)] [DefaultValue(...)] [Editor(...)] Some other things are detected

How can I customize the sorting of categories in a PropertyGrid ? If I set either of the following... propertyGrid.PropertySort = PropertySort.Categorized; propertyGrid.PropertySort = PropertySort.CategorizedAlphabetical; ... then the categories will be alphabetized. ("Alphabetical" would seem to apply to the properties within each category.) If I use PropertySort.NoSort , I lose categorization. I'm populating my PropertyGrid with SelectObject , which is pretty easy: this.propertyGrid1.SelectedObject = options; options is an instance of a class with suitably decorated properties:
