ExpandableObjec tConverter

Hello,
i am doing a custom class for my property for a property gird using
ExpandableObjec tConverter.
I have a class (CustomFontClas s) that uses a Converter which inherits
the ExpandableObjec tConverter. everything works fine, but the only
thing that doesn't work is that the MyNewFontList NEVER calls the SET.
I have followed the http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vb/usi...pertygrid.aspx
example in the example its the same case .
any idea why ?
thank you
Dim xFont As New CustomFontClass

Public Property MyNewFontList() As CustomFontClass
Get
Return xFont
End Get
Set(ByVal value As CustomFontClass )
xFont = value
End Set
End Property

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 ExpandableObjectConverter 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. ...

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?

Hi! I've written a custom ExpandableObjectConverter in which I have overridden GetPropertiesSupported and GetProperties (and some more). The class to which this TypeConverter is applied has all properties public and should be accessed via PropertyGrid.

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...

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,...
