New Post: Property Grid with dynamic editors

Hi,

If you have a property like "FirstName", which has its own editor "FirstNameEditor" and that depends on another property like "IsMale" :

public bool IsMale { get; set; }

[Editor( typeof( FirstNameEditor ), typeof( FirstNameEditor ) )]
[DependsOn( "IsMale" )]
public string FirstName { get; set; }

Then you can do what you want in the FirstNameEditor...including modifying the type of the editor :

public class FirstNameEditor : Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.PropertyGrid.Editors.ITypeEditor
  {
    public FrameworkElement ResolveEditor( Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.PropertyGrid.PropertyItem propertyItem )
    {      
      if( ( ( Person )propertyItem.Instance ).IsMale )
      {
        ComboBox comboBox = new ComboBox();
        comboBox.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush( Colors.Green );
        comboBox.ItemsSource = new List<string>() {"Tom", "Mark", "Bryan"};
        comboBox.SelectedIndex = 0;

         var _binding = new Binding( "Value" ); //bind to the Value property of the PropertyItem
        _binding.Source = propertyItem;
        _binding.Mode = propertyItem.IsReadOnly ? BindingMode.OneWay : BindingMode.TwoWay;
        BindingOperations.SetBinding( comboBox, ComboBox.SelectedItemProperty, _binding );
        return comboBox;
      }
      else
      {
        TextBox textBox = new TextBox();
        textBox.Foreground = new SolidColorBrush( Colors.Blue );
        textBox.Text = "TEST";
        var _binding = new Binding( "Value" ); //bind to the Value property of the PropertyItem
        _binding.Source = propertyItem;
        _binding.Mode = propertyItem.IsReadOnly ? BindingMode.OneWay : BindingMode.TwoWay;
        BindingOperations.SetBinding( textBox, TextBox.TextProperty, _binding );
        return textBox;
      }
    }
  }

So yes, the type of the editor can be changed depending on another property;s value.
This is available in v2.4 Plus version of the Toolkit.
