    In This Topic

    Gets or sets a collection of custom editors to use in place of the default editors.

    Syntax
    'Declaration
 

    Public Property EditorDefinitions As EditorDefinitionCollection
    'Usage
 

    Dim instance As PropertyGrid
Dim value As EditorDefinitionCollection
 
instance.EditorDefinitions = value
 
value = instance.EditorDefinitions
    public EditorDefinitionCollection EditorDefinitions {get; set;}

    Property Value

    An EditorDefinitionCollection containing EditorDefinition instances that represent custom editors.
    Example
    The following shows how to create a PropertyGrid that overrides the default editors with custom editors with a DataTemplate. This is done by defining an EditorDefinition that either targets a Type, property name, or both, and sets the EditorDefinition.EditorTemplate to an instance of a DataTemplate. Be sure to bind your custom editor to the bound property item's Value property.
    <xctk:PropertyGrid x:Name="_propertyGrid1" Width="450"  Margin="10">
                <xctk:PropertyGrid.EditorDefinitions>
                    
                    <!-- This EditorDefinition will provide a TextBox to any property that is of type HorizontalAlignment, replacing the default ComboBox editor. -->
                    <xctk:EditorDefinition TargetType="{x:Type HorizontalAlignment}">
                        <xctk:EditorDefinition.EditorTemplate>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <TextBox Background="Green"  Text="{Binding Value}" /> <!-- Always bind your editor's value to the bound property's Value -->
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </xctk:EditorDefinition.EditorTemplate>
                    </xctk:EditorDefinition>
                    
                    <!-- This EditorDefinition will provide a TextBlock to any property that has any of the defined property names, replacing the default editor. -->
