Property Grid

[Sunil RameshParticipant]

Hello,

It will be good to have a full-fledged property grid control similar to Microsoft windows form designer property-grid control.
At the moment we can use the tree-grid to achieve this functionality but it would be better if we have one dedicated for this purpose with all features and editable controls available in any standard property-grid controls

Thanks & Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,

This can be achieved with the TreeGrid so we do not think that a new widget is required. If you wish, use the TreeGrid. It has such demo.

Hi Peter,

I am using it at the moment, but it does not have all the features that is available in a standard property grid. For instance you cannot hide rows, usually in a property grid based on user selection in a row with a drop down list, I need to hide/show other rows.

Hi Sunil,

You can hide/show rows in a TreeGrid using its expand, collapse methods.

Hi Peter,

Expand/Collapse will not serve the purpose. Let me explain

The property grid I have an row with a drop-down-list as a input field. Based on user selection I need to show different options under it. Below is a textual snapshot of the rows in the grid

Category (text field)
Code (text field)
Name (text field)
Description (text field)
RuleType (drop-down list containing Simple, Standard, Extended)
Rule Package (drop-down list)
Validation Package (drop-down list)
Deployment Package (drop-down list)
Pre-Rule Package (drop-down list)
Post-Rule Package (drop-down list)
BuildType (drop-down list containing Automatic, Manual)
Bootstrap Curve (true/false)
Market Curve (true/false)

When the user selects the RuleType as Simple, he can select only a rule package for the list under it, the other packages (validation,deployment,pre-rule,post-rule) are hidden.
Similarly, if the user selects the RunType as Standard, he can select packages for rule-package, validation and deployemnt but not the other two(pre/post) and son on.

If you see any standard property grid in windows, you will have a property hidden/visible which can be set to true/false to hide the row(s) on change event of another rows value.

After going through the documentation thoroughly I am thinking I should be able to achieve this using the addfilder/applyfilter/clearfilter methods, but I am not sure, I will give a try.

May be you should add an option at least to hide/show a row.

Thanks & Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,

We do not believe that 1 missing feature in the TreeGrid requires a completely new widget which basically will be copy-paste of the TreeGrid. Yes, you can add filters if you want to hide rows which does not meet the filtering.
