• Search and Filter on the Go

  The WinForms PropertyGrid comes with a built-in search bar which filters properties as the user types - an excellent idea which has not been exploited much in the WinForms world. You can customize this behavior by defining the part of the property by which the filter is applied. For example, you can filter by property name, property label, property category or property description. You can also change the operator by which the filter is applied - Starts, Contains, etc.

• Resizable Help Bar at the Bottom

  RadPropertyGrid includes a help bar at the bottom where the name of the selected property is displayed along with its description from the DescriptionAttribute of the property. Both bars can be easily shown or hidden by setting a single property for each bar.

• Customize the Property Grid for Your Needs

  With RadPropertyGrid you to control the process of property editing all the way through - from the initialization and the type of editor used, to validation and how each property looks:
  

  • Add custom items, editors, elements and properties;
  • Add validation rules;
  • Hide properties, which are not needed;
  • Skin and theme properties, which need to stand out;
  • Add a custom toolbar and/or actions for sorting, filtering, and grouping.

• Context Menu with Styling Capabilities

  The configurable context menu allows end-users to reset the property values in Visual Studio-like fashion, and to perform other important functions such as sort and edit.

• Sorting and Grouping Support

  These are two of the most important features in a property grid, and it is no wonder that RadRopertyGrid supports them. Properties are grouped by default, whereas the sorting can be invoked from the toolbar at the top, or from the context menu.

• Appearance

  The control is shipped with a rich set of themes that allow you to easily build slick interfaces with the look-and-feel of Windows 7, Vista, Office 2010, Metro, etc. The themes can be easily switched using a single property.

  In addition to the built-in themes, all RadControls for WinForms come with a feature we call Theme Color Blending, which allows for tweaking the color scheme of a theme, without the need to redo the theme from scratch. The updated color scheme is applied to all Telerik WinForms controls that you are using in your application for a fresh new look. Or you can build a new theme from scratch to fit your exact visual demands by using the Visual Style Builder productivity tool.
