Make the DisplayName bold

[Ari]

Hi...

I've got AutoGeneratePropertyDefinitions set to false, and am populating everything myself.  So far, so good, I can customize all the editors.  But some properties I'm placing in the editor are optional, and some are not, and I'd like to give the user a visual cue about this: ideally, there would be a way ot customize the DisplayName of each property, making it bold, or changing it's color.  Is this possible?  If not, are there any suggestions about another visual cue I could give for this?

Thanks,

-Ari

Hello Ari,

Currently, there is not an easy way for customizing display name field. What you can try is to customize the template of each property definition, which might be a bit time-consuming if you have a lot of definitions.
Still, we will consider this case and check out what can be done so that such scenario is supported.
In the meantime, you can try customizing the editor instead and provide visual feedback that the element is required there.

Kind regards,

Hi...

The templates solution worked for me.  I should point out that by template I mean the ControlTemplate I'm using for the PropertyGridField, not the DataTemplate for the editor control.  For my usage, I'm glad that I now have a good handle on how to customize all that that ControlTemplate exposes.  But in my opinion, for someone doing something less intensive with the RadPropertyGrid control that it would likely be very handy to have a property where you could override the style for the TextBlock that displays DisplayName, or could at least make the text bold.  Just my two cents.

Thanks for your help,

Considering editing display name part of the property definition, we will definitely consider it so that we could provide easier way for editing its look and feel. Thank you for your feedback.
