Is there a Property Dialog control that i can use in my WPF App?

问题

I'm building an application using WPF that will be a designer of sorts, meaning, a user can drag and drop custom UI elements into a canvas and be able to configure their behavior via properties.

(Think of this like a domain specific PowerPoint. You can add elements to the presentation, configure the elements' properties and then eventually you can run the "slideshow" and those elements will behave according to their properties)

So in my app, what is the best way of showing and configuring an element's properties? Is there a Property Dialog control I can use? (similar to the one in Visual Studio for controls)

Sadly, there is no PropertyGrid control in WPF. Either you will have to use WinForms property grid or one available in open source community or buy from 3rd party vendors. You have following options to choose from -

Open Source -

WPF Property Grid: http://wpg.codeplex.com/

PropertyTools (previously called PropertyEditor) for WPF: http://propertytools.codeplex.com/

Extended WPF Toolkit PropertyGrid: https://github.com/xceedsoftware/wpftoolkit/wiki/PropertyGrid

Native WPF 4 PropertyGrid http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/87715/Native-WPF-4-PropertyGrid

In case you are working on .Net 4.0 you can use WWF's PropertyInspectorView control as property grid in WPF. As explained in this article - http://www.codeproject.com/KB/grid/WpfPropertyGrid.aspx

You need to use a propertygrid for this. See these posts for how to create one.
