Product details

Advanced customizable property grid and tree controls

  • PropertyGrid is similar to the Visual Studio 'Properties' tool window where one or more data objects can be specified and their properties edited
  • TreeListBox is extremely fast, lightweight, and displays a single-column tree similar to the Visual Studio Solution Explorer tree control
  • TreeListView is a multi-column variant of TreeListBox that renders similar to a standard ListView but has many additional features

Features

  • **Property Editors: **Property editors specify the UI to use for the display of the property name and value. Built-in editors are availble for basic property types, but the property grid is very flexible and allows custom property editors to be defined too.
  • **Category Editors: **When simple inline property editors are not enough, category editors can be used. These allow more complex interfaces to be used inside the property grid for presenting/modifying specified groups of properties.
  • **Categorization: **Properties can be grouped together into categories, and nested categories are even supported. Categorization can be specified via the use of attributes on the data object properties.
  • **Sorting: **While categories and properties are sorted by default using built-in logic, any custom logic can be introduced to apply a customized sort order.
  • **Filtering: **Displayed properties can be filtered by any criteria. A common filtering usage scenario is to allow an end user to type a property name in a TextBox and the property grid updates to only show properties whose names contain the text.
  • **Inline Collections: **Collections can be made expandable and displayed inline. Further, some collections support inline editing via plus and minus buttons to add and remove collection items.
  • **Data Factories: **You have full control over the data models that are generated by a data factory when examining data objects for properties. Additional property models can be injected into the default property models generated by the data factory.
  • **Multiple Data Objects: **While the property grid normally edits a single data object, multiple data objects can be edited at the same time as well. In this mode, only the common properties between all the data objects are displayed.
