How to add sub class to property grid

[Myoungsu]

I have two classes

One is EQConfig, the other is HSMSConfig (I attached) and EQConfig has a property which name is hsmsConfig and HSMSConfig type.

Then, I set below

this.radPropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = EQConfig;

Then I expected I can expand hsmsConfig property like

Hello Myoungsu,

Thank you for writing.

In order to achieve your goal, it is suitable to use an ExpandableObjectConverter. Additional information is available in PropertyGrid >> Type Converters help article.

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