I have a hierarchy
public class Corner { public string Name { get; set; } }public class Fillet : Corner { public double Radius { get; set; } }public class Chamfer : Corner { public double Distance1 { get; set; } public double Distance2 { get; set; } }and a business object,
public enum CornerMode{Fillet,Chamfer}public class CornerAttribute{public CornerMode CornerMode {get;set;}public Corner Corner {get;set;}}
I will assign a subclass instance according to the CornerMode. How to switch the type convert at runtime so that the property Corner can be expandable?

Hello Steve,
In order to make "Corner" property expandable, you can bound TypeConverter attribute of type ExpandableObjectConverter to "Corner" as follows:
public class Profession
{
public string Title { get; set; }
[Description("This is a property with a ExpandableObjectConverter")]
[TypeConverter(typeof(ExpandableObjectConverter))]
public Corner Corner { get; set; }
}
If you wish to hide "Corner" text, as shown in your attachments, you can subscribe to RadPropertyGrid1_ItemFormatting event and hide the text.
private void RadPropertyGrid1_ItemFormatting(object sender, PropertyGridItemFormattingEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.Label == "Corner")
{
((PropertyGridItemElement)e.VisualElement).ValueElement.Text = "";
}
}
You can also disable editing of "Corner" text by subscribing to RadPropertyGrid1_Editing event and cancel editing as follows:
private void RadPropertyGrid1_Editing(object sender, PropertyGridItemEditingEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.Label == "Corner")
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
}
For your convenience, I have attached a project with an implementation and a screenshot.
I hope you find this information useful. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions.
Regards,
Dimitar
