Using a propertyGrid in C# Winforms to store infor

问题:

Could anyone help me out on something that is confusing. I'm trying to create a grid to store information for example document details: (name, type, summary as example headers).

When the summary is too large for the cell of the grid I would like to have a button that would open a new control where the user is able to view more information.

Is it possible to to this using a propertyGrid and would anyone be able to point me in the right direction on information on doing this?

I was thinking it might be a case of writing a surrogate class and expose the objects created on it?

Thanks

Yes it is posible.

You should create your own type that will provide document details as a set of type properties. You should then attach an instance of this type to the PropertyGrid. You can use attributes to change property visibility, editor, description and the others beheviours.
