description panel

[David Ocasio]

Is there an easy way to set the initial height of the description panel without pulling the entire template out.

Hello David,

There is no API for setting the height of the description panel. However, you can achieve your requirement without extracting the control's template. To do this you can subscribe to the Loaded event of RadPropertyGrid and use the ChildrenOfType<T>() extension method to get the Border element that presents the description panel. Then set its Height.

Here is an example in code:

private void RadPropertyGrid_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var propertyGrid = (RadPropertyGrid)sender;
    var panel = propertyGrid.ChildrenOfType<Border>().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "PART_DescriptionPanel");
    if (panel != null)
    {
        panel.Height = 200;
    }
}

I hope this helps.
