TypeConverter is not working

[Martin]

Hello,

 

I have followed your WPF example: 

public class PlayerTypeConverter : TypeConverter

{

    public override bool GetStandardValuesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext context)

    {

        return true;

    }

 

    public override bool GetStandardValuesExclusive(ITypeDescriptorContext context)

    {

        return true;

    }

 

    public override StandardValuesCollection GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext context)

    {

 

        return new StandardValuesCollection(new string[] { "Mark Wright", "Ian Rush", "John Barnes",

               "Paul Ince", "Jamie Redknapp", "Sami Hyypia", "Steven Gerrard ", "Jordan Henderson" });

    }

}

and attached the converter to my property:

/// <summary>
/// Sets the algorithm that is available for the mode.
/// </summary>
[Category("Reconstruction")]
// [Editor(typeof(AlgorithmEditor), typeof(UITypeEditor))]
[Telerik.Windows.Controls.Data.PropertyGrid.Editor(typeof(ComboBox))]
[TypeConverter(typeof(AlgorithmConverter))]
[Description("Sets the algorithm that is available for the mode.")]
public string Algorithm
{
    get => GetProperty<string>();
    set => SetProperty(value);
}

 

 

 

Unfortunately when setting the property to the PropertyGrid the combobox does not show up.

The type converter is not even used. Originally I had the PropertyInspector which is still active until I have transitioned to the RadPropertyGrid, here the TypeConverter is used without any problems.

What could be the problem?

 

Thanks

Martin

Hello Martin,

Do you use PropertyGrid's PropertySet feature? If yes, be advised that PropertySet mode has some limitations. We have the attributes support request logged in our system. You follow it to track our progress on the following feedback item.

If that is not the case, may I ask you to share more information about your set up? Generally, it would be great if you can isolate the problem in a sample project. Then you can send it to me for further investigation.
