how to set propertygrid readonly?

[shenghao.wu]

Hi, I want to set my propertygrid control readonly or editable depending on some condition.

for example, in this page, the same propertygrid will be readonly, in another page, the same propertygrid will be editable, is that possible?

Hi Shenghao,

Sorry for the delay caused.

Kindly find the sample below.

In the sample, we are getting the property using VisualUtils in the ButtonClick event. Hence by Enabling/Disabling the property, you can set the 'readonly' accesses.

Please let us know if you have any other queries.

When I set PropertyGrid.IsEnabled = False, the scroll bar and expanders no longer work. I want it to be displayed in a true read-only mode, where it is completely interactive, but none of the editors allow changing of values. How can I do that?

[Michelle Fowler]

I added the attribute ReadOnly(true) to those properties that have a non-private setter but should not be changed by the user.

Example:

        [ReadOnly(true)]

        public double Multiplier { get; set; }

Hi Michelle,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

We have created sample based on your request in which the property 'Multiplier' is set as ready only property. By clicking the Button all the properties are set to 'IsEnabled=False" and the scroll viewer will work.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi,

When I'm trying to download the second sample, I get access denied error.

I know this is old, but it was the first search result.  

This is a very simple solution that worked for me.  By setting the setter to internal access, it doesn't allow the PropertyGrid control to modify it.  In a more complex project you'll have to go with a more complex solution.

public MyProperty State { get; internal set; }

Hi Fernando, 

 

Thanks for your update. 

 

Have you tried the setting of property setter as internal one which makes the properties in the PropertyGrid as ReadOnly? Or else, can you share some additional information about your requirement? That helps us to provide and analyze solution at earliest.
