I have an App where I'd like to be able to edit any type (font, colour, point etc.) at run time and use any of the .Net default type editors. (e.g., font/ colour picker). Rather than re-invent the wheel, I decided to use the property grid control. If I pass an object of, say font, to the grid, it lists all the fields separately, with n...
Hi Guys, I'm new to C#, long time C++ programmer, im just wondering once initalising a propertygrid using .selectedObjects. Is there a way to get contents of the current values in the propertygrid. Ben ...
I'm using the PropertyGrid control in a WinForms application. The window itself binds to a class that contains a list of objects. While I'd prefer it if the grid just expanded and let the user modify the items like a tree-view, I'll settle for the collection editor if it will stop listing the members as "Roswell.Windows.Command.Model" (t...
I have a base class with a number of properties. Included in this is a list of extended properties with metadata. This is a List of a custom class containing DisplayName, Description, Name, Type & Value properties to help the PropertyGrid along. The desired end result would be the PropertyGrid showing my base class properties merged wit...
I'm writing a plug-in for an application where I have a custom class that attributes the native objects of the program. The API allows me to read and write keyed strings directly to and from the objects in the native file. So rather then reading and writing to private fields in the Get and Set accessors of each property I'm reading and w...

If I have a class that implements ICustomTypeDescriptor I can override the GetProperties() method to completely replace all the properties of the class with my custom PropertyDescriptors. But what if i want to keep the existing properties of the class and append additional properties to the class? Is there a way to return a set of cust...
Hello I would like to be able to set the visibility of a property on my property grid using App.config. I have tried : [Browsable(bool.Parse(Sytem.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["testBool"]))] However Visual Studio 2008 would give me an error "An attribute argument must be a constant expression, typeof expression or a...
Hi All, I want to add attributes (like Browsable(false)) dynamically while displaying in the grid. Scenario is that I have a custom class with some public properties. However, I dont want all of the public properties to be displayed in the UI. Is there a way out? I tried using TypeDescriptor. However, it works only at the type level an...
We're using the PropertyGrid to edit properties on a object and are looking for a means of providing validation. Specifically validation that indicates that the entire object is valid for being saved. Here's basic idea. Imagine two properties on a object Property: Widgets (a string collection) Property: DefaultWidget (a single s...
I have an object with a string[] property. When I assign this as the SelectedObject in the PropertyGrid, I get a "String[] Array" displayed for that property. Is there a way I can change this display part to something else? ...

I feel like an idiot for being stumped by this, I feel like the answer must be obvious. But, alas, after spending too much time looking through the Object Browser and Googling, I come looking for help. I have a class that I use in a PropertyGrid. I found that by setting CategoryAttribute on each property it creates a new category for ea...
Sigh, another PropertyGrid question. I thought I could get around this until I ran into a problem where I couldn't actually avoid it. I have a boolean property that sometimes needs to be read-only and sometimes needs to be changeable depending on the object selected from a TreeView. My question is how can I change the ReadOnlyAttribute...
Hello, I am building a GUI application that will be the front-end for an XML configuration file. The XML structure defines a set of object instances. That is, type names, and property values that should be instantiated in the consuming application (windows service). So there are three layers: ConfigurationObject <--> ComponentObjects...
I need to have the ability to select multiple values as is the nature of a Flag enumeration from a WPF view (all be it, in a PropertyGrid). The properties in question are dynamic and no pre-defined DataTemplates can be used as the type of the properties will be discovered at runtime. (A DataTemplate which can detect if an enumeration i...

I have a control extending PropertyGrid which allows users to set the properties of some of my program objects. These objects have an event which is raised when one of their properties changes, and the PropertyGrid subscribes to this event so that it refreshes itself when a property is changed. My problem occurs when large numbers of obj...
I have a PropertyGrid that is setting control's properties of a control on another form. However for things such as "Location" and "Text", I get a cross threading issues. Is there an easy way to safely (not using AllowIlligalCrossThread=true) let the setting of these properties occur with the property grid? Thanks. ...
I'm trying to synchronize the vertical scrollbars of two property grids. The idea is when a user scrolls one property grid the other property grid scrolls by the same amount. My first approach was to handle the scroll event but it seems PropertyGrid doesn't generate this kind of event. I looked into the controls contained inside the Pro...
