Just stumbled upon propertyGrid and its awesome! However, i have one task that i cant find how to do with it:
I have a class which has a type. Based on type, it has different properties available. I keep it in one class (not multiple inherited classes) for simplicity sake (there are ten types but they mostly have the same properties).
For example, i have a class MapObject which can have string type equal “player” or “enemy”. For “enemy”, property “name” is used, but for “player” it is blank (not used).
When i select two objects, one of which is of type “player” and other of type “enemy”, i want property “name” to only “count” for the “enemy”. So, i want propertyGrid to show the name of the object that has type=”enemy”, and when it (name property) is changed in Grid, only assign it to the object of type “enemy”.
Is this possible to do?
This is a design pattern known as the state pattern. It is pretty easy to implement and you do not need property grids. http://www.dofactory.com/Patterns/PatternState.aspx
