First, I tested several kinds of type converters but only the basic type converter seems to work.
Converters in the code below don't work except for ConvertTo.
private string _name;
[TypeConverter(typeof(Tuple3iConverter))]
public string Name
{
get { return _name; }
set { _name = value; }
}
public class Tuple3iConverter : TypeConverter
{
public override bool CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, Type sourceType)
{
if (context == null)
{
return false;
}
return ((sourceType == typeof(string)) || base.CanConvertFrom(context, sourceType));
}
public override object ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, CultureInfo culture, object value)
{
if (value is string)
{
return value;
}
return base.ConvertFrom(context, culture, value);
}
public override object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context, CultureInfo culture, object value, Type destinationType)
{
if (destinationType == typeof(string))
{
if (value.Equals("New"))
return "lsw822Man";
else
return "NewMan";
}
return base.ConvertTo(context, culture, value, destinationType);
}
public override TypeConverter.StandardValuesCollection GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext context)
{
List<string> genericList = new List<string>();
genericList.Add("lsw822");
genericList.Add("lsw833");
genericList.Add("lsw844");
return new TypeConverter.StandardValuesCollection(genericList);
}
public override bool GetStandardValuesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext context)
{
return true;
}
}
+
Second, when I resize the label columns and move the resizer to the leftmost position, each row stops in a different location.
I'm using Windows8Theme and this happens when using Windows8Theme. Please see the images attached.
Thanks!

You need to override CanConvertTo method and apply correct rule when this will return true or false. Otherwise, ConvertTo method will not be executed.
Considering the second question, we will investigate the case and try to provide a fix for it as soon as possible.

I think there were some misunderstandings. There are five types of converters in the code I attached, which are
public override bool CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, Type sourceType)
public override object ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, CultureInfo culture, object value)
public override object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context, CultureInfo culture, object value, Type destinationType)
public override TypeConverter.StandardValuesCollection GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext context)
public override bool GetStandardValuesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext context)
Of these, only the third ConvertTo works and the rest doesn't work.
How can I get them to work in RadPropertyGrid?
Indeed, you are right - I misunderstood the case. I will investigate it and let you know once I have more information for it. Considering the issue with resizing the label column, it is resolved and the fix will be available in the internal build coming on Monday. I have updated your telerik points for reporting the bug. Thanks for the cooperation.

Hi Maya,
We have the same problem with UI for WinForms (version 2017.2.613) when using a Propertygrid and TypeConverter.
The methods
public override bool CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, Type sourceType)
public override object ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, CultureInfo culture, object value)
does not works.
How can we get work the RadPropertyGrid sucessfully?
Regards.
Generally speaking, the UI for WPF RadPropertyGrid component does not share any code base with its UI for Winforms equivalent. Thus, in order to receive the most adequate assistance, I would kindly ask you to post your inquiry in the relevant forum section.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Regards,
