The Actipro PropertyGrid control brings the power of the native Windows Forms PropertyGrid to WPF applications
with support for many ComponentModel attributes, such as BrowsableAttribute, CategoryAttribute, EditorAttribute,
MergablePropertyAttribute, and many more.
The PropertyGrid control can be populated using static items defined in XAML with binding support,
or dynamically by leveraging TypeDescriptors, including support for ICustomTypeDescriptor.
Several property editors are included, which leverage existing WPF controls.
Custom property or category (as seen in Microsoft Expression Blend) editors can be used as well, to provide a custom look
or feel.
