Question

Say I have a class

class Object
{
    Vector2 positon;
}

This position is editable in the propert grid, how would I be able to set this as not browasable / read only in a class that inherits from object. I know the [Browsable(false)] and [ReadOnly(true)] tags but this will set the it for all Objects, which I do not desire.

Answer 1

Declare position property as virtual and override it on derived types.

public class Class1
{
    public virtual string Lol { get; set; }
}

class Class1Impl1 : Class1
{
    [Browsable(false)]
    [ReadOnly(false)]
    public override string Lol
    {
        get
        {
            return base.Lol;
        }
        set
        {
            base.Lol = value;
        }
    }
}

class Class1Impl2 : Class1
{
    [Browsable(true)]
    [ReadOnly(true)]
    public override string Lol
    {
        get
        {
            return base.Lol;
        }
        set
        {
            base.Lol = value;
        }
    }
}

Doing it at runtime is a different question, IsBrowsable and IsReadOnly are readonly properties. You should google to know if there is posible to change the instances of this attributes at runtime, which I think is not.
