Hi~!
I am using RadPropertyGrid in WinForm.
One item of propertygrid is File Path(string). When user click the File Path element to edit, I want to show Openfiledialog.
When I use Windows default control, it works well, but when I use telerik control, it doesn't work.
{
string _LogFile = "";
[Category("Design")][Editor(typeof(FileLocationEditor), typeof(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))]
[Description("Viewer background image path.")]
public string LogFileName
{
get
{
return _LogFile;
}
set
{
_LogFile = value;
}
}
}
public class FileLocationEditor : UITypeEditor
{
public override UITypeEditorEditStyle GetEditStyle(ITypeDescriptorContext context)
{
return UITypeEditorEditStyle.Modal;
}
public override object EditValue(ITypeDescriptorContext context, IServiceProvider provider, object value)
{
using (OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog())
{
// set file filter info here
if (ofd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
return ofd.FileName;
}
}
return value;
}
}

I have prepared a sample code snippet for your reference demonstrating how to specify the PropertyGridBrowseEditor to be used for a string field that stores a file path:
public RadForm1()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.radPropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = new Item(123, "Telerik test", @"C:\Projects");
}
public class Item
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
[Editor(typeof(PropertyGridBrowseEditor), typeof(BaseInputEditor))]
public string FilePath { get; set; }
public Item(int id, string name, string filePath)
{
this.Id = id;
this.Name = name;
this.FilePath = filePath;
}
}An alternative approach is to handle the EditorRequired event and specify the DialogType of the editor as well:
private void radPropertyGrid1_EditorRequired(object sender, PropertyGridEditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.Label=="FilePath")
{
PropertyGridBrowseEditor editor = new PropertyGridBrowseEditor();
RadBrowseEditorElement element = editor.EditorElement as RadBrowseEditorElement;
element.DialogType = BrowseEditorDialogType.RadOpenFileDialog;
e.Editor = editor;
}
}I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
