Easiest way to do ... on properties? - Grids for WPF Forum

Posted 14 years ago by Kelly Leahy - Software Architect, Milliman

I'd like to do a (...) button on a property, and I'm wondering what's the easiest way to do this? I just want to be able to either bind a command to the button or react somehow when it is clicked to show a custom UI for editing the property (in a separate window). This is for properties that require A LOT of editing space (not something that would make sense in a popup or a category editor).

Hi Kelly,

You'd need to define a property editor for the specified property by name or type. Or alternatively, you could have a general property editor that leverages a DataTemplateSelector as the ValueTemplateSelector.

You can either build your own DataTemplate, or use our BuiltinEditors.DialogTextBoxValueTemplateKey which uses a TextBox and a button with "...". The latter of which raises the generic PropertyGrid.ShowPropertyDialogCommand command.

The Property Editors QuickStart shows how to accomplish both.
