XamPropertyGrid and Collection...
posted

Hi, I'm developing a system that uses the new XamPropertyGrid  to visualize (and I'm thinking also to edit if possible) the details of some classes

some of the classes have the following format

MyProperty1

Myproperty2

MyCollection1

     Element1

     Element2

     Element3

The Mycollection1 is correctly shown but its elements are shown in the following format

[0]

     ElementProperty1

     ElementProperty2

The collection elements in my case are objects containing a Name and a Value and are Dynamically created on the objects.
Is there a Way to tell the Property Grid to show (maybe the ToString) instead of the [0] so that the effect will be more User friendly?

I make an example: The Object is  a Project, The Collection is an accessory information data the content of the property grid I'd like to have is the following:

     ProjectName StarTrek

     FileName StarTrek.proj

     Folder C:\Startrek

     Revision 1.0

+   AdditionalInfo

          + Order 12345

                Name Order

                Value 12345

          + DeliveryDate 06/01/2015

                Name DeliveryDate

                Value 06/01/2015

This will allow to use the property grid in several scenarios and avoid the need to develop a specific User control or window to visualize the data and modify them.

Thank you in advance

    I add some more information,

    After writing you, remembering that you told me that the property grid  uses what Implemented by Microsoft about the property grid, I've added to my collection class and collection element the implementation of the Customized property descriptor with its interface and classes, this implementation in windows forms property grid allows to obtain what I wanted.

    Unfortunately, the XamPropertyGrid does not react to the implementation and the collection has still the index numbers instead of the data given by the customized property descriptor. If you have any hint on how to resolve the issue,

    thank you in advance
