Customize PropertyGrid Editor in C#.NET

KetticPropertyGrid WinForms control provides a convenient approach for customizing the appearance and behavior of property grid editors using C# code. This control includes a variety of built-in editors used to edit different data types. All the built in editors can be replaced by custom editors. KetticPropertyGrid control is capable of embedding a number of data editors into individual cells for editing and better data presentation. The PropertyGrid component is able to control the process of editing, including the initialization, editors for validating and events value changing. There are also advanced data editing options available with the Property Grid Control.

This PropertyGrid control provides the EditorInitialized event for the users to customize the appearance and behavior using C# code in Windows applications. To fire the EditorInitialized event in C#.NET project, we need to create an editor and a set of properties predefined will be initialized. The C# code below demonstrates how to customize the default font of PropertyGridTextBoxEditor.

void ketticPropertyGrid1_EditorInitialized(object sender, Kettic.WinForms.UI.PropertyGridItemEditorInitializedEventArgs e)
{
    PropertyGridTextBoxEditor editor = e.Editor as PropertyGridTextBoxEditor;

    if (editor != null)
    {
        ((KetticTextBoxElement)editor.EditorElement).Font = new Font(FontFamily.Families[12], 10, FontStyle.Bold);
    }
