How to set "IsReadOnly" on default dataTemplate

Hello,

All of our built-in property editor templates are already wired up to support IsReadOnly bindings on the property models.  The IPropertyModel.IsReadOnly property is a resolved value of the property model's IsHostReadOnly (comes from PropertyGrid.IsReadOnly) and IsValueReadOnly properties. 

If you set PropertyGrid.IsReadOnly to true, then all properties will be read-only.

Alternatively, if you only want to set specific properties as read-only, you would want to set the IPropertyModel.IsValueReadOnly property to true on appropriate property models.

Either way will update editing controls in our built-in property editors to be read-only.

Thank you for your answer !

But I would like to control the IsReadOnly by special condtion in run-time.

(ex. In property Grid Window,

- property["A"] value is setted 'X' --> property["B"] is setted ReadOnly 'True' state

- property["A"] value is setted 'Y' --> property["B"] is setted ReadOnly 'False' state

)

So, i try to use "control.SetBinding(controlType.IsReadOnly, binding)" method.

But, At built-in template, i don't know the control type because i think that the control is not instantiated.

so i can't use "SetBinding" using controlType.IsReadOnly.

How to know the control type defined in DataTemplate ??

or When/Where can i access the control that is instatiated ??

I think i need to know the time when the control defined in DataTemplate is instantiated.....)

Thank you for reading

Hello,

Controls from data templates in WPF are not instantiated in way you can easily access them.  What you should be doing is if the IPropertyModel for property "A" has its value changed to "X", you get the IPropertyModel for property "B" and set its IsValueReadOnly property to true.  Set its IsValueReadOnly property to false when property "A" has its value changed to "Y".  As long as the DataTemplate used as a property editor for property "B" binds its read-only state to the IsReadOnly property on the IPropertyModel, which is the DataContext for the property editor DataTemplate, it should work.
