Description is not cleared when propertygrid is pointed to a different object

[HDC]

I'm using component version: 2011.3.1220.1050

In my application i have multiple objects on a canvas.

When the user clicks on an object, the property definitions are dynamically loaded. The user can then click on a property and change it's value. When the user clicks on the property, a description of the property is given on the bottom of the property grid. This is all standard behavior.

However, when the user clicks on another object, new property definitions are loaded, but the description is not cleared!

Lets say the user clicks a textbox on the canvas and then clicks on the 'Text' property, the description on the bottom would say "Enter the text". When the user then clicks an image on the canvas, new property definitions would be loaded (which would not include the Text Property) but the description on the bottom would still say "Enter the text".

I can not find any method to clear the description zone, so it seems that this would be a bug in the component.

You can use little trick for correct this issue.

On code behind i have:

private void MainViewModel_PropertyChanged(object sender, System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.PropertyName == "PropertyObject")
    {
        this.rpgProperties.AutoGeneratePropertyDefinitions = false;
        this.rpgProperties.PropertyDefinitions.Clear();
        this.rpgProperties.AutoGeneratePropertyDefinitions = true;
    }
}

"PropertyObject" is a property that PropertyGrid source is binding.
