Force property update in propertygrid

[Steve Teeples]

I was wondering if there is a way to force a property within a property grid
to update and then display a modified value when when a second property
(true/false) is toggled?

Steve,

In .NET 1.1 and before, you want to create an event of type EventHandler
named <property>Changed. You would then fire this event after you set the
property (internally, so that a call to the get accessor of the property
will return the new value).

In .NET 2.0 and above, you can do as mentioned previously, and you can
also implement INotifyPropertyChanged interface, which has one member, an
event that is fired when the property changes.

When the property changes, you can fire this event and indicate which
property changed.

The property grid will detect this, and then update itself accordingly.

Hope this helps.

Nicholas, thank you. This did the trick. I had to add another event for the
property grid that actually updated the property visually when a
PropertyValueChanged event occurred. Without it, I only know the string was
being updated when I would click its property in the grid.

I know this is an OLD thread, but for the next person looking for a response this works quite well for me:

object Temp = propertyGrid1.SelectedObject;
                propertyGrid1.SelectedObject = null;
                propertyGrid1.SelectedObject = Temp;
