Override Editors and Typeconverter on a propertyGrid

Neo
Is there a way to override which Typeconverters and Editors get used in
a property grid without changing the object definitions.

For Instance there is a class in a library that I cannot change that
has somehting like a color property.

It would be great if there was a callback for when the property grid
was going to display that property that I could replace the standard
colro editor with my own editor.

Hi, I'm after help using reflection with the propertygrid. I am creating a dynamic class and putting it into a propertygrid. For simple textboxes, static content dropdowns and datetime controls it is fairly simple. However I need a dynamic dropdown list. I have an object that contains a list of departments. I want to add this to a dropdown list within the propertygrid.

Hello. After I converted my .net code to the new VC2005 syntax I started to get C4490 on my ExpandableObjectConverter subclass overrides. The GetProperties method is no longer called by the PropertyGrid when I use my subclass as a type converter. Can anyone tell me what has changed? What's the correct way to override GetProperties method? Here's the code for my class:

Hi I've just upgraded some Type Editors from 1.1 to 2.0 and whilst they compile OK, I'm not getting any results in the test harness PropertyGrid. Usually when you select a particular property, the ellipsis appears at the end of the cell and this is not heppening. I was therefore wondering if there had been changes in TypeEditors between ..NET versions 1.1 and 2.0 that I hadn't hear about.

Hi there, Can anyone provide any insight on why MSFT introduced "TypeConverter.GetProperties()". There are two classes for dealing with metadata in .NET, 'Type" and "TypeDescriptor". Each has a "GetProperites()" method so why complicate the situation even more than it already is by adding a "GetProperties()" method to "TypeConverter". The class is supposed to be for converting types so "GetProperties()" seems misplaced and redundant (as...

I have written all these wonderful custom TypeConverter for my enums to display in a PropertyGrid. I would now like to use the same TypeConverter to save out and read in the values to and from a text file, in a generic fashion. I would like to have a function like this: void WriteValue(StreamWriter sw, string name, Enum value);

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,...
