Use SecureString as PropertyType

[Richard]

Hi,

I must use a SecureString as a property type. Is it possible to edit the value in the PropertyGrid? How can I achieve this?

I already tried to get the value in the EditEnded event and tried to convert it on my own, but I do not get the value, it is null.

Thanks for your replies.

Hi Richard,

In order to fire EditEnded event of RadPropertyGrid and get the edited value, you need to set the EditMode of the control to single. PropertyGridEditEndedEventArgs expose a NewValue property which you can use to get the new input from the user. However, this property is read only so you will not be able to modify its value.

For this case, I suggest you applying IValueConverter to the Binding of the needed PropertyDefinition and modify the user input in the ConvertBack method.

Does this approach fit your requirements?

Yes, I did it with an IValueConverter.

Thank you.
