Actipro PropertyGrid for WPF brings the power of the native Windows Forms PropertyGrid to WPF applications. Actipro PropertyGrid for WPF features include custom property editors, category editors, categorization, sorting, validation, filters, summary area and much more.

Actipro PropertyGrid for WPF SelectedObject(s) and Items

There are several ways to populate the PropertyGrid. Properties can be statically defined in XAML, or in code, just like the native WPF controls. Additionally, the PropertyGrid can automatically display the properties of any .Net object(s). Best of all, you can use statically defined properties along side any dynamically generated ones.

Actipro PropertyGrid for WPF Factories

Factories are used to generate properties from the selected object(s), with two factories built-in. The first uses TypeDescriptor to examine an object's properties, which mimics the Windows Forms PropertyGrid control. The second factory uses reflection to offer a simpler approach. Custom factories can be used to provide limitless possibilities, such as providing a collection or XML document editor.

Actipro PropertyGrid for WPF ComponentModel Attributes

Many of the attributes in the ComponentModel namespace are supported, such as BrowsableAttribute, CategoryAttribute, DefaultValueAttribute, DescriptionAttribute, DisplayNameAttribute, and many more.

Actipro PropertyGrid for WPF Property Editors

Provide a custom look and/or feel for any property displayed. This includes the value cell, as well as the name cell. Styles can be applied for simple customizations, or an entirely new data template can be used for full control.

Actipro PropertyGrid for WPF 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 PropertyGrid for presenting/modifying specified properties. Examples of category editors can be seen in Microsoft Expression Blend.

Actipro PropertyGrid for WPF other Features

Expandable Properties and Lazy Loading: Expandable properties, which are properties that expose one or more sub-properties, are fully supported through the use of ExpandableObjectConverter. Expandable properties can cause problems if there are cyclic references, but since only the items needed for display are loaded this is not a problem for the PropertyGrid. This lazy loading feature can also increase load times.

Categorization and Sorting: Properties can be automatically categorized and/or sorted, with support for custom sorting. Additionally, custom factory can be used to organize the properties so that it suits your needs.

Data Validation: Full support for the WPF validation system, which is used to validate user input, is included. Error templates, which provide a visual indication of invalid input, can be customized as needed. When total control is required, event handlers can be used to customize the data validation and error handling.

Summary Area: Information about the selected item can be shown in a fully customizable and resizable summary area, which shows the display name and description by default. Includes support for smooth animated transitions when the content changes.

Theming: Built-in themes are included for the three Office themes and all Windows system themes. While this encompasses a lot of built-in themes, you can also generate a completely custom tinted theme with a single line of code. For advanced developers who want even more customization possibilities, we've made all our controls so that they can be styled and templated and all primitive elements that are used in our built-in control templates are public.

Right-to-left and Localization: UI supports right-to-left layouts and all text in the user interface may be localized to other languages.

XBAP Support: PropertyGrid fully supports use in XBAPs (browser applications). We have specifically engineered it to operate within the bounds of the XBAP security sandbox and documented areas of note.

Extensive Documentation and Samples: Actipro has spent a lot of time refining the design of PropertyGrid to take advantage of WPF best practices. We realize that a good product is only part of the equation though and have also worked very hard to write detailed documentation on the product. In addition to that, PropertyGrid ships with the full source for many QuickStart examples that each focus on learning a specific feature.

Part of Actipro WPF Studio : Actipro PropertyGrid for WPF can be purchased individually or as part of the Actipro WPF Studio control suite bundle.

What's Actipro PropertyGrid for WPF 2011.2?

App-Wide Themes - Actipro Themes includes professionally-designed themes that cover all system and Office themes including high contrast mode. The themes apply to all Actipro controls and optionally to native WPF controls.

Styles/Templates for Native WPF Controls - Enhanced styles and templates for all native WPF controls (TextBox, ToolBox, TreeView, etc.) are included. These styles can be automatically applied app-wide via a single line of code. Or you can choose to use them on specific controls only, accessible via pre-defined style keys.

Common Asset Pool - There are well over 800 asset resources for each of the system and Office themes supported. All custom and native control styles/templates use the same assets. This ensures that controls placed next to each other always render with similar colors that complement each other.

Advanced Tinting - Actipro Themes supports the tinting of any theme or portion of a theme towards a certain color. This means that you can take a built-in theme like the Office Silver theme, and make it a red one instead.

Appearance Improvements - Actipro Themes includes updated menu, toolbar, and statusbar appearances that were inspired by Visual Studio 2010’s look. The simplified design uses a darker workspace area, with lighter content areas in each docking window. This higher contrast appearance focuses the end user's eye on the content without distracting it with non-active UI elements, thus making for a more effective user interface.
