Disable the resizing of columns (splitter)

[Evy]

Hey there,

 

I am browsing the properties/methods of the property grid for a while because I want to disable the resizing of the columns in the property grid.  Something similar to 'AllowVariableSpliterPos'.

Is this supported?
Thanx!

Hello Evy,

Thank you for writing.

You can disable columns resizing by inheriting the PropertyGridItemElement or any of its descendants and overriding its OnMouseMove event handler where the basic logic for changing the cursor should not be performed:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.radPropertyGrid1.CreateItemElement += radPropertyGrid1_CreateItemElement;

    this.radPropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = this;
}

private void radPropertyGrid1_CreateItemElement(object sender, CreatePropertyGridItemElementEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ItemElementType == typeof(PropertyGridItemElement))
    {
        e.ItemElementType = typeof(CustomPropertyGridItemElement);
    }
}

public class CustomPropertyGridItemElement : PropertyGridItemElement
{
    protected override Type ThemeEffectiveType
    {
        get
        {
            return typeof(PropertyGridItemElement);
        }
    }

    protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnMouseDown(e);
        this.ElementTree.Control.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
    }

    protected override void OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)
    {
    }
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
