It should be a themable editor which allows users to select a file or a directory from the file system using OpenFileDialog, FolderBrowserDialog or directly to type the full path to the file.

Available in the 2017 R1 Release (2017.1.117).

Behind the scene we need to update any changes made in the property grid, in a SQL Server database, too. With our current implementation we fire a database request if a property is edited in the property grid. This is fine if only one entity has been selected. If more than one entity has been selected (ProperytSetMode “Intersection”) a database request is fired for each entity if a property is edited. This is not very performant for us.
We need an event like “EditEnded” to figure out when the PropertySetViewModel has updated all ViewModels. Then we are able to updated the necessary changes in the database in a single call. 

 

PropertyGridColumnResizer Resizing event.

By the time being, a custom DataTemplate can be applied only for the EditorTemplate. When the EditMode is Single, a plain TextBlock is used for a readonly PropertyDefinition. With the Default EditMode, if the EditorTemplate is set, it will be displayed, but the user needs to stick to the default behavior provided by the ReadOnlyEditorState property (grayed out and disabled element for its Disabled value, and enabled interaction for the ReadOnly one). Provide an option to directly set a ReadOnlyTemplate for both EditModes.

An non edit mode is enabled in the control when the EditMode is set to Single. In this case, only one field can enter edit mode and the rest are read only. 

Currently, there is no API that allows you to customize the content (that shows the property value) of the read only fields.

Add an API that allows you to customize the read only content. Similar to the EditorTemplate of the PropertyDefinition.

 

Currently the AutomationID of the PropertyGridField is set to "{0}_FieldEditor", where {0} is the DisplayName of the property definition. We can introduce an option to prevent this.

Add the ability to add new items in the collection editor when binding to primitive types.

The CollectionEditor control has a ListBox on its left side, which has an indicator for the selected item when the Windows 11 theme is applied. Performing a selection and then reopening the drop-down to display the CollectionEditor, performing a selection does not update the indicator. It stays on the previously selected item prior to closing the drop-down.

Possibility to edit only the SelectedPropertyDefinition (like in Visual Studio)

GetStandardValuesSupported and GetStandardValues methods of a type converter are not called.

Available in the 2017 R1 Release (2017.1.117).

Should be resolved with lib version 2014.3.1124.
