PropertyGrid automatically select first non category by default

Hello,

I'm sorry but it appears the logic to select the first IPropertyModel or ICategoryEditorModel after a refresh is built-in.  If your UI is coming from a data model that doesn't implement one of those, it would likely be skipped over.  Perhaps you could try to have your data model for this UI not implement those two interfaces?

I am using a factory and the GetPropertyModels specifically returns IList<IPropertyModel>, I don't think I have a choice to use IPropertyModel and ICategoryModel, or am I missing an alternative?

Hello,

The DataFactoryBase.GetPropertyModels method is called by the DataFactoryBase.GetDataModels method.  Then the returned properties are categorized and ICategoryModels are added as needed.  You could override GetDataModels to inject a model that implements the base IDataModel instead of IPropertyModel, since that method's result expects a list of IDataModel objects.
