ExpandableObjec tConverter on a struct

Ok here is the problem. I have a struct property on an object that I
want to edit with the property grid. One of the properties of the
properties of the struct is supposed to be read only to the user.

The inital problem is that when you use the ExpandableObjec tConverter
as the type converter the values reset themselfs back to their orginal
values. Most likely because the Propertygrid has a copy of the value
and not the value itself.

So I found by overloading the
CreateInstance
GetCreateInstan ceSupported
Methods of the typeconverter I could get the value in.
However now all my Properties are Writable (even the ones without a
"set" implemented)

What is the right way to do this?

Hello. I have an ExpandableObjectConverter subclass that I associate to the 'Converter' of a custom property descriptor. After I changed my .net code to the new syntax (VC 2005), the GetProperties method of my converter class is not called anymore by the PropertyGrid. Now my expandable properties always show a property 'Length' with value 0.

Hi, I'm using classes with the ExpandableObjectConverter attibute in a UserControl for properties. This works fine for some classes, and properties of these classes can be edited during design time. However, classes which are derived from CollectionBase don't save their values in the form's code. Properties can be changed in the VStudio property editor but they are not persistent: // Property values are saved in the forms code.

Hi! I've written a custom ExpandableObjectConverter in which I have overridden GetPropertiesSupported and GetProperties (and some more). By setting breakpoints in all methods I have found out that only GetProperties never gets called, however all other methods are called correctly. (The respective class has the TypeConverter attribute set.) Does anyone have a clue about what this situation might cause?

I've created a usercontrol with a Person property. The Person property returns a Person object. I've also created a PersonConverter class which inherits the ExpandableObjectConverter so the Person property is expandable in the PropertyGrid. This all works fine. I've also created another usercontrol that also has a Person property and returns a Person object. But in this usercontrol I don't want the Person object to be expandable. What...

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...

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,...
