How to display string collections with custom factories and data accessors?

Hi Ernie,

It's hard to say without seeing what you are doing, but all of our IPropertyDataAccessor implementions used by our built-in factories are available for your own use. Collections in particular use the CollectionPropertyDescriptorDataAccessor implementation. This should allow you to display your string collection in any custom hierarchy/location you want.

Depending on your needs and if you derive your custom data factory from our DataFactory (or one one of it's concrete derivations: TypeDescriptorFactory and TypeReflectionFactory) class, you can also just call the DataFactory.CreateCollectionPropertyDataAccessor method. This allows you to mostly reuse our default factories, while still injecting custom logic/accessors/etc.

If you can explain better what your data looks like and how you'd like it to be displayed in the PropertyGrid, we may be able provide more details.

I can send some screen shots showing the property grid as implemented along with information about the class the data is coming from.  I did not see how to add any attachments or images to my original post.

Hi Ernie,

You'd need to email our support address with them.  Please reference this thread in your email.  Thanks!
