I would like to create a drop-down in a propertygrid in Visual C++ where I define text for each item of an enumeration. I cannot seem to find any help for this anywhere - all the help seems to be targeted to C# users and I am unable to convert to Visual C++. I believe I need to create a TypeConverter that converts my enumeration to Strin...
I love PropertyGrid, well, at least the concept behind it - use reflection and attributes to edit your objects without writing much UI code. My excitement died out pretty quickly though, the default PropertyGrid shipping with WinForms flat-out sucks. Well, it's fine for editing simple objects and such, but that's as far as it goes. It...
Hi, Does setting PropertyGrid.SelectedObject = null; effects the actual object? eg: Button b = new Button(); System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid pg = new System.Windows.Forms.PropertyGrid(); pg.SelectedObject = b; pg.SelectedObject = null; What will happen to Button b? will it be null? Thanks & regards, Vishal. ...
Hi all, Is it possible a property grid could be shared between two forms? Right now, when the grid initializes and shown in a form, everything's fine. But when another form hosting the same grid shown, the grid in the first form disappears. Thanks. ...
Is it possible to have a file/directory selection button next to a property value in the PropertyGrid? Hitting the button would launch a standard "Open File" or "Select Directory" type of dialog. In a perfect world, this could be done using an Attribute on the SelectedObject's property. ...
For a project I am working on, I have some values in a PropertyGrid that are many lines long. I want the user to be able to double-click a value in the grid, which will bring up my custom UI window. I already have it set up so that the UI works when the [...] button is clicked, but I also need it to show up directly if any grid item is...
I am using a Queue for a property, and it shows it as a collection in the propertygrid. The only issue, is I can't edit anything inside of it, it shows them as just "Objects" and everything is read only. I know Vector2 works fine in a propertygrid because I have a few of those by themselves. I've been googling, and found something abo...
All PropertyGrid examples I have seen allow the user to edit a single object, which PropertyGrid scans by reflection. I would like the user to be able to edit, for example, an ini file or a plain-old Dictionary, with one line per key-value pair. Is this possible? ...
Basically i have a settings class like this: class Settings { Color BackgroundColor {get;set;} Color ForegroundColor {get;set;} Color GridColor {get;set;} Color HighlightColor {get;set;} //... etc } And i want to be able to do both - serialize the settings class and edit the colors in propertygrid.

I have a PropertyGrid whose SelectedObject value points to a class with several members like this one: [Editor(typeof(OutputFormatTypeEditor), typeof(UITypeEditor)), ReadOnly(true)] public String OutputFormat { get; set; } With ReadOnly set to true, the user cannot touch the property, even when it is being edited with the OutputFormat...
I have a Windows form (.NET 3.5) that contains a propertygrid control. The propertygrid control gets refreshed periodically do display any changes that may have occurred in the class which it represents. I want the refresh to only occur if the user is not currently editing a property in the grid. Is there a way to detect if the user is c...
Perhaps I'm just searching with the wrong terms, but I can't find any information about this. I'd like to be able to add a link to a pdf file (or help file?) within a property descriptor for a given object property. I'm fairly certain this is supported functionality (I swear I've seen it before) but I can't find any information about h...
I have the following code. When one of the properties value is changed the focus will be jumped to other property- focus changed to "Text" when boolean property was changed, to be specific. Why this is happening? propertyGrid1.SelectedObject = textBox1; void propertyGrid1_PropertyValueChanged(object s, System.Windows.Forms....

I am working on a WinForms designer hosting project. All controls that will be dropped on the DesignSurface are custom controls that inherit from existing controls.

I'm currently completely baffled by the problem I'm having. I'm writing a plug-in for another application that provides a public .NET API. I've created a class named Room and I am using a PropertyGrid to allow users to see and edit the properties of the Room instances. A few properties are restricted to a set of standard values. Thus I a...
