C# PropertyGrid limitations

Dear Friends,

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

In the PropertyGrid value cells, I am assigned to display the controls
like NumericUpDown, RadioButtons, CheckBox, ListBox etc I read several
articles and gathered the following informations I request you to comment
on the below points(point 1 to point 3)

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

2 The thumbnail of images can be displayed next to image data in the
property grid (Displaying control in the complete cell area is not
possible[Actually I wanted to display NumericUPDown control in the cell])
3 There is no "official/documented" way to customize that error box.
PropertyGrid component displays the error in its own dialog

Information Required:

4 Considering the above facts, I wanted to go for some third party tool
which gives the similar facilities and can be used as a control component
in the project that is using C#  as development environment But I
did not get any All the components are written using MFC unmanaged code I
want the component, written in managed environment, so that I can use it
in C# developm ent environment with ease I request you to share the
information in this regard, if you know any such components

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Jay

I have a very basic program, but for some reason I can't get it to behave properly. What I want is a basic form with a TabControl that fills the entire form. The tab control should have 4 tabs with a single PropertyGrid control on each tab that fills it's parent's tab page's client area. Here's what I did. 1. Create a new project.

I have a PropertyGrid (Windows Forms App) based component that uses TypeConverters to generate ranges of acceptable values for properties. The idea was that I could download the key/value pairs from a database and manipulate the TypeConverters dynamically. The property grid then displays the property with a drop down list. It does work when I open the application for the first time. If, however, I open the form and then open a second...

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...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
