打开标准集合编辑器中的描述面板

基本上,您要么需要创建自己的编辑器,要么创建子类。 CollectionEditor 把表格弄乱。后者更容易——但不一定很漂亮……

下面使用常规集合编辑器窗体,但只扫描它 PropertyGrid 控制,启用 HelpVisible .

/// <summary>
/// Allows the description pane of the PropertyGrid to be shown when editing a collection of items within a PropertyGrid.
/// </summary>
class DescriptiveCollectionEditor : CollectionEditor
{
    public DescriptiveCollectionEditor(Type type) : base(type) { }
    protected override CollectionForm CreateCollectionForm()
    {
        CollectionForm form = base.CreateCollectionForm();
        form.Shown += delegate
        {
            ShowDescription(form);
        };
        return form;
    }
    static void ShowDescription(Control control)
    {
        PropertyGrid grid = control as PropertyGrid;
        if (grid != null) grid.HelpVisible = true;
        foreach (Control child in control.Controls)
        {
            ShowDescription(child);
        }
    }
}

在使用中显示(注意 EditorAttribute ):

class Foo {
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public Foo() { Bars = new List<Bar>(); }
    [Editor(typeof(DescriptiveCollectionEditor), typeof(UITypeEditor))]
    public List<Bar> Bars { get; private set; }
}
class Bar {
    [Description("A b c")]
    public string Abc { get; set; }
    [Description("D e f")]
    public string Def{ get; set; }
}
static class Program {
    [STAThread]
    static void Main() {
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.Run(new Form {
            Controls = {
                new PropertyGrid {
                    Dock = DockStyle.Fill,
                    SelectedObject = new Foo()
                }
            }
        });
    }
}
