Property Grid

Hi,
How can I display a property as a combo box in a PropertyGrid control. I know that if the property is an enum this will display as a combo box but I want the user to be able to select from a dynamically produced combo box, not an enum.

At the moment I have a (Collection) displayed but this is cumbersome.

Thanks

Monty

Hi, I want to customize a Property Grid in the following way: The Property Grid should show a property which value should be changed by a dropdown-listbox. For example, there is a property called "animal" and when I want to change the value of the property in the property grid it should show me a dropdown-box with standard values like "cow","cat" or "bird".

Is it possible to have custom property pages for a Component and if so how I can write one please ? Also, is it possible to reuse the drop down box that we get for Data Source and Data Member inside VS.net's property grid, for my component ? If so any pointers would be immensely appreciated. Thank you.

Hi all, I'm trying to use a property grid, and what I'm trying to do seems to really elude me. I've been using the property grid for a short period of time, and this is the first thing I haven't been able to do. I have some products... like t-shirts... and these products have particular property / value pairs. I'd like the property grid to look like this:

I am looking for a way to hide a property I created on a user control from a property grid at runtime but allow it to be seen at design time. Any ideas? I tried setting the category of the property to 'Design' and that does not do it. I tried adding the 'DesignOnly' attribute and that does not do it.

Hello group, I design a class to bind it to a property grid for easy modification of some settings. My problem is now that I want to raise an event when a settings has been changed. Thats not a problem with some "normal" properties (see property DisplayGrid). But when I use a subclass and TypeConverter the setter of the property is not called.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
