Hierarchical collections

[AndrewRichards]

Hello,

Is it possible to show collection items on the same grid instead of a separate custom editor ? I mean like this:

Name
Players
    [0] Player 1
             Player1 property1
             Player1 property 2
             ...
    [1] Player 2
             Player2 property1
             Player2 property 2
             ...
TeamColor
SomeOtherProperty

Hello,

 With the recently released Q2 version of RadControls, RadPropertyGrid can edit collections. Please check our online documentation for an additional information.

Yes, I know that, thanks, but what I meant by my question was that is it possible NOT to use the built-in collections editor so that collections are displayed in the propertygrid hierarchically not as a popup ?

For example, what propertygrid does right now:

Name          John Smith
Birthday       4/26/1934
Children      (opens a popup)

..But what I look for is that the business object can be edited as a treeview:

Name               John Smith
Birthday           4/26/1934
[-] Children      (Children subcollection is expanded)
    [1] Person
       Name           Jack Smith
       Birthday       1/1/1964
       [+] Children  (this subcollection can be expanded)
    [1] Person
      Name             Janet Smith
      Birthday         1/1/1965
      [+]  Children   (this subcollection can be expanded)

Is that possible ?

Thanks!

Hello,

 Yes, it is possible. I have attached a sample project showing how you could define the PropertyDefinitions manually.
