PropertyGrid Customization limitations

Jay Shakankar via .NET 247

Dear Friends,

I have been assigned to develop a Custom PropertyGrid with lookand fill like the link below.
http://www.visualhint.com/feature5.php

In the PropertyGrid value cells, I am assigned to display thecontrols like NumericUpDown, RadioButtons, CheckBox, ListBoxetc.I read several articles both in CP and MSDN and gathered thefollowing informations. I request the CPians to comment on thebelow points(point 1 to point 3)

1.It is not possible to host a control in the value area of thePropertyGrid . It is however possible to draw the control in thatarea if we have the correct UITypeEditor.

2.The thumbnail of images can be displayed next to image data inthe property grid. (Displaying control in the complete cell areais not possible[Actually I wanted to display NumericUPDownco ntrol in the cell])

3.There is no "official/documented" way to customize that errorbox. PropertyGrid component displays the error in its owndialog.

Information Required:

4.Considering the above facts, I wanted to go for some thirdparty tool which gives the similar facilities and can be used asa control component in the project that is using C#.Net asdevelopment environment. But I did not get any. All thecomponents are written using MFC unmanaged code. I want thecomponent, written in mananaged environment, so that I can useit in C#.net development environment with ease. I request you toshare the information in this regard, if you know any suchcomponents.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Folks - I've done some searching on the 'net, and I think I know the answer to my question, but I wanted to pose it anyway, just in case. I'm embarking on a new project, and we're investigating the use of the PropertyGrid. I've used it in a couple of places before, but never in an application that goes out to my general user base. We really like the functionality and capabilities it provides, but some of the display choices are not...

PropertyGrid dynamic Dropdown List

I have a PropertyGrid question. My task is to replace a legacy dialog box presentation with a modern one. The dialog itself allows the user to set configuration settings in our application, so it seems to me that a PropertyGrid is a perfect modern replacement. I won't bore you with the details with all the controls on the dialog since I'm only concerned with one issue. The legacy dialog contains a drop down list control that is...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
