Custom Validation Message in a Property Grid

Hi,
I have a property grid used for editing the members of a class of
which one is an int. If this int value is deleted in the property grid
then I get a default error dialog box that says:
"Property is not valid." [Details] "is not a valid value for Int32."
I would like to be able to override this dialog box with something
more user friendly, such as a dialog box that says:
"Please enter a value for ..."
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Chris.

Hi

As far as I can see the dialog box is created internaly in the property grid
and cannot be replaced.

I am using property grid in C# application. Property grid displays the propeties properly. But I have some problem in displaying custom validation message. I have integer type property. When I give invalid values for the property it is throwing System exception as follows. "Invalid Property Value. Is not a valid value for Int32. Though I have custom validation message in the Property set system throws exception before this.

Looking through WebUIValidation.js, I discovered that the standard validators don't cater for non-numeric date formats (e.g. dd-MMM-yyyy) which I would like to do To keep code to a minimum, I would like to extend the existing validator to handle other common date formats and still be able to do both client and/or server side validation as normal. Unfortunately, I am unable to get the extended code to ever be called I implemented the...

Hi all, Has anyone been able to write some custom javascript on the onclick event of submit button to do certain things like disable submit button, only submit form once etc. This was a breeze in 1.1 since I could edit the .js file. Now in 2.0 I can no longer do this. Also, my code would have to be called after all client-side validation was done and was successful. Any ideas? TIA!

Hello everyone, I have created a custom component and one of its properties is a class object with it's own properties. During runtime, I can assign values to the class object properties just fine. However, when attempting to assing default values as designtime in the propertygrid, nothing is working on the class object. I know that I am doing it wrong, any ideas what it is? Thanks in advance

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
