To reproduce: -add a RadPropertyGrid and use the following code: radPropertyGrid.SelectedObject = new MyPropertyGridAdapter(node); PropertyValueChanging += new PropertyGridItemValueChangingEventHandler(OnPropertyValueChanging); private void OnPropertyValueChanging(object sender, PropertyGridItemValueChangingEventArgs e) { var form = new CommentActionForm(); if (form.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) { var item = e.Item as PropertyGridItem; var pd = item.PropertyDescriptor as MyPropertyDescriptor; if (pd != null) { // Perform value change (affects database). } } else { e.Cancel = true; } } Workaround:when ending edit mode with Enter key you may use the following approach: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); this.radPropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = new MyObject(10204, "Sample name", "Some descripion"); this.radPropertyGrid1.EditorRequired += radPropertyGrid1_EditorRequired; } private void radPropertyGrid1_EditorRequired(object sender, PropertyGridEditorRequiredEventArgs e) { PropertyGridItem propertyItem = e.Item as PropertyGridItem; e.Editor = new MyEditor(propertyItem); } public class MyObject { public int ID { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public MyObject(int iD, string name, string description) { this.ID = iD; this.Name = name; this.Description = description; } } public class MyEditor : PropertyGridTextBoxEditor { public string InitialValue { get; set; } public PropertyGridItem PropertyItem { get; set; } public MyEditor(PropertyGridItem item) : base() { this.PropertyItem = item; } public override void BeginEdit() { InitialValue = this.TextBoxEditorElement.Text; base.BeginEdit(); } } public class MyPropertyGrid : RadPropertyGrid { protected override bool ProcessDialogKey(Keys keyData) { if (this.ActiveEditor != null && this.ActiveEditor is MyEditor && keyData == Keys.Enter) { MyEditor editor = ((MyEditor)this.ActiveEditor); PropertyGridItem property = editor.PropertyItem; string initialValue = editor.InitialValue; DialogResult ds = RadMessageBox.Show("Are you sure?", "Title", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, RadMessageIcon.Question); if (ds == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel) { property.Value = initialValue; return false; } } return base.ProcessDialogKey(keyData); } }

FIX. RadPropertyGrid - setting the SelectedObject to something and then set it to a property store, does not remove the initial items

Workaround: clear the items prior setting the property store:
        this.radPropertyGrid1.PropertyGridElement.PropertyTableElement.ListSource.Clear();

Steps to reproduce.

1. Drag a RadPropertyGrid to a form.
2. Set the selected object to a button for example.
3. Set the System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture to bg-BG for example
4. Run the project and try to edit the Size property. You will see that it is displayed in the format X;Y, but you have to enter string in the X,Y format otherwise you get an exception.

If one sets an empty RadPropertyStore to the SelectedObject property of a RadPropertyGrid and then adds items with a RadSortOrder attribute the items will still be sorted by their name.



WORKAROUNDS:

1. Populate the store before you set it to the property grid.

2. Add a dummy item to the store before you set it to the property grid and then remove it:
RadPropertyStore store = new RadPropertyStore();
store.Add(typeof(bool), "dummy", false);
this.radPropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = store;
store.RemoveAt(0);

3. After you add the first item to the store call the following method:
this.radPropertyGrid1.PropertyGridElement.PropertyTableElement.ListSource.CollectionView.EnsureDescriptors();

When the SelectedObject contains sub-properties and a user expands a property the CreateItem event is not fired for sub items.

When a property has a TypeConverter and a UITypeEditor attributes the PropertyGridUITypeEditor calls the TypeConverter methods with the context parameter equal to null.

To reproduce: use a class with more than 100 properties for the RadPropertyGrid.SelectedObject. On RadButton.Click event set the RradPropertyGrid.PropertySort to PropertySort.CategorizedAlphabetical.

To reproduce:
- Add a property grid to a blank form set the selected object the the same form.
- Group the items and click several times to expand collapse the groups or items.
- you will notice that some of expanded/collapsed groups icon is in wrong state (same applies for the +/- sign of the properties).

To reproduce: use the following code:

Items _items = new Items();

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent(); 

    radPropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = _items;
}

class Items
{
    [Description("A Bool Property")]
    public bool IsEnabled
    {
        get
        {
            return _isEnabled;
        }
        set
        {
            _isEnabled = value;
            RadMessageBox.Show("IsEnabled");
        }
    }
    private bool _isEnabled;

    [Description("A String Property")]
    public string Name
    {
        get { return _name; }
        set
        {
            _name = value;
            RadMessageBox.Show("Name");
        }
    }
    private string _name ;

}

Steps to perform:
1. Change the "Name" property and leave the editor active.
2. Click on the check box to change the "IsEnabled" property.

As a result you will notice that the "IsEnabled" setter is called before the "Name" setter.

Workaround:

Items _items = new Items();

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent(); 

    this.radPropertyGrid1.CreateItemElement += radPropertyGrid1_CreateItemElement;        
    radPropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = _items;
}

private void radPropertyGrid1_CreateItemElement(object sender, CreatePropertyGridItemElementEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ItemElementType == typeof(PropertyGridCheckBoxItemElement))
    {
        e.ItemElementType = typeof(CustomPropertyGridCheckBoxItemElement);
    }
}

public class CustomPropertyGridCheckBoxItemElement : PropertyGridCheckBoxItemElement
{
    public CustomPropertyGridCheckBoxItemElement()
    {
        this.CheckBoxElement.ToggleStateChanging += CheckBoxElement_ToggleStateChanging;
    }

    private void CheckBoxElement_ToggleStateChanging(object sender, StateChangingEventArgs args)
    {
        if (this.PropertyTableElement.ActiveEditor != null && this.PropertyTableElement.SelectedGridItem != this.Data)
        {
            this.PropertyTableElement.EndEdit();
        }
    }

    protected override void DisposeManagedResources()
    {
        this.CheckBoxElement.ToggleStateChanging -= CheckBoxElement_ToggleStateChanging;

        base.DisposeManagedResources();
    }
}

To reproduce: use the following code snippet and refer to the attached gif file.

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radPropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = this;
    this.radPropertyGrid1.RightToLeft = System.Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Yes;
}

Workaround:

public Form1()

    this.radPropertyGrid1.CreateItemElement += radPropertyGrid1_CreateItemElement;
    this.radPropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = this;
    this.radPropertyGrid1.RightToLeft = System.Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Yes;
}

{
    if (e.ItemElementType == typeof(PropertyGridItemElement))

    }

    private const int resizePointerOffset = 3;

    public override bool IsInResizeLocation(Point location)
    {
        return (location.X >= this.ControlBoundingRectangle.X + this.PropertyTableElement.ValueColumnWidth - resizePointerOffset &&
                location.X <= this.ControlBoundingRectangle.X + this.PropertyTableElement.ValueColumnWidth + resizePointerOffset);
    }

    protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e)

        {
            if (this.PropertyTableElement.IsEditing)
            {
                this.PropertyTableElement.EndEdit();
            }

            this.Capture = true;
            this.isResizing = true;
            this.downLocation = e.Location;
            this.downWidth = this.PropertyTableElement.ValueColumnWidth;
        }

        base.OnMouseDown(e);
    }

    protected override void OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if (this.isResizing)
        {
            int delta = e.Location.X - downLocation.X;

            if (this.RightToLeft)
            {
                delta *= -1;
            }

            this.PropertyTableElement.ValueColumnWidth = downWidth - delta;
            return;
        }

        if (this.IsInResizeLocation(e.Location))
        {
            this.ElementTree.Control.Cursor = Cursors.VSplit;
        }
        else
        {
            this.ElementTree.Control.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
        }

        base.OnMouseMove(e);
    }

    protected override void OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if (this.isResizing)
        {
            this.isResizing = false;
            this.Capture = false;
        }

        base.OnMouseUp(e);
    }
}

To reproduce:
public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radPropertyGrid1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(272, 135);
    PropertyStoreItem intItem = new PropertyStoreItem(typeof(int), "Integer", 1);
    PropertyStoreItem showTrend = new PropertyStoreItem(typeof(bool), "ShowTrend", 0);
    PropertyStoreItem trendItem1 = new PropertyStoreItem(typeof(int), "TrendTypes", 0);
    // Case of Re-loading the previously Saved Trend Type
    PropertyStoreItem floatItem = new PropertyStoreItem(typeof(float), "Float", 1f,
        "Property storing a floating point value.");
    PropertyStoreItem stringItem = new PropertyStoreItem(typeof(string), "String", "Telerik",
        "Property storing a string value", "Telerik");
    PropertyStoreItem dockItem = new PropertyStoreItem(typeof(DockStyle), "Dock", DockStyle.Top,
        "Property containing DockStyle value", "Layout", false);
    RadPropertyStore store = new RadPropertyStore();
    store.Add(intItem);
    store.Add(showTrend);
    store.Add(trendItem1);
    store.Add(floatItem);
    store.Add(stringItem);
    store.Add(dockItem);
    this.radPropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = store;
   radPropertyGrid1.Items["TrendTypes"].Visible = false;
    this.radPropertyGrid1.PropertyValueChanged += radPropertyGrid1_ValueChanged;

}

private void radPropertyGrid1_ValueChanged(object sender, PropertyGridItemValueChangedEventArgs e)
{

    PropertyGridItem current = (PropertyGridItem)e.Item;
    if (current.Name == "ShowTrend")
    {
        bool val = Convert.ToBoolean(current.Value);
        radPropertyGrid1.Items["TrendTypes"].Visible = val;
    }

}

- There is no scrollbar when the item is shown.

Workaround:
radPropertyGrid1.PropertyGridElement.PropertyTableElement.Update(PropertyGridTableElement.UpdateActions.ExpandedChanged);

Please refer to the attached gif file demonstrating how to reproduce the error with the Demo application.

Workaround: change the DropDownStyle property to DropDownList:

private void radPropertyGrid1_EditorInitialized(object sender, PropertyGridItemEditorInitializedEventArgs e)
{
    PropertyGridDropDownListEditor editor = e.Editor as PropertyGridDropDownListEditor;
    if (editor!=null)
    {
        BaseDropDownListEditorElement editorElement = editor.EditorElement as BaseDropDownListEditorElement;
        editorElement.DropDownStyle = Telerik.WinControls.RadDropDownStyle.DropDownList;
    }
}

Please refer to the attached sample project.

To reproduce: please refer to the attached sample project. Try to select a new value from the drop-down editor and press Yes from the message box.

Workaround: use the RadPropertyGrid.PropertyValueChanging event to confirm the property changing: 

private void radPropertyGrid1_PropertyValueChanging(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.PropertyGridItemValueChangingEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cancel = (MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to change this?", "Question", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) != DialogResult.Yes);
}

To reproduce:
- Add RadPropertyGrid to a form and set the theme to MaterialTeal. The issue is observed in the ThemeViewer as well.

Workaround:
radPropertyGrid1.PropertyGridElement.ToolbarElement.AlphabeticalToggleButton.TextWrap = true;
radPropertyGrid1.PropertyGridElement.ToolbarElement.CategorizedToggleButton.TextWrap = true;
//or

 radPropertyGrid1.PropertyGridElement.ToolbarElementHeight = 68;

Currently, the only possible way to set the value to null is to select the whole text and press the Delete key.

If the value is cleared by the backspace key, it is restored when the control loses focus.

If the value is cleared by multiple times clicking the delete key and the cursor is in the first position, the previous value is restored when the control loses focus.

Workaround:
Subscribe to the TextChanged event of the spin editor and explicitly set the NullableValue of the BaseSpinEditorElement:

this.radPropertyGrid1.EditorInitialized += this.RadPropertyGrid1_EditorInitialized;

private void RadPropertyGrid1_EditorInitialized(object sender, PropertyGridItemEditorInitializedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Editor is PropertyGridSpinEditor spinEdit)
    {
        if (spinEdit.EditorElement is BaseSpinEditorElement editorElement && editorElement.EnableNullValueInput)
        {
            editorElement.TextChanged -= this.EditorElement_TextChanged;
            editorElement.TextChanged += this.EditorElement_TextChanged;
        }
    }
}

private void EditorElement_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (sender is BaseSpinEditorElement editorElement && string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(editorElement.Text))
    {
        editorElement.NullableValue = null;
    }
}

When setting SelectedObject a ReadOnlyAttribute applies to the grid. But when wrapping it in an object[] and assign it to SelectedObjects the grid allows editing.

Sample application included.

Hello,

RadPropertyGrid does not properly intersect properties when what is set as SelectedObjects implements the ICustomTypeDescriptor interface. However, the .Net Framework PropertyGrid does not have this problem.

To reproduce the problem, use the attached project.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a class A with a boolean property
2. Create a class B with a property of type A and decorate it with [ReadOnly(true)] attribute
3. Set an instance of class B as the SelectedObject of a RadPropertyGrid
4. Try to change the boolean property. You will see you cannot.
