ModalVisualizer<TForm> class

Provides a reusable, generic modal visualizer for editing a property value within a PropertyGrid. This visualizer displays a modal dialog using a form of type TForm, allowing rich editing experiences beyond the standard in-place or dropdown editors.

public class ModalVisualizer<TForm> : UITypeEditor
    where TForm : Form, IValueEditorForm, new()

parameter	description
TForm	A Windows Forms Form class that implements IValueEditorForm to handle the editing of the property value.

Public Members

name	description
ModalVisualizer()	The default constructor.
override EditValue(…)	Displays the modal editor form to allow the user to edit the property value.
override GetEditStyle(…)

Remarks

To use this editor, define a custom form implementing the IValueEditorForm interface. The EditedValue property is used to push the initial value into the form and retrieve the edited value when the dialog is closed with OK.

Examples

public class CurrencyEditForm : Form, IValueEditorForm
{
    public object EditedValue { get; set; }
    // implement form logic here
}

[Editor(typeof(ModalVisualizer<CurrencyEditForm>), typeof(UITypeEditor))]
public decimal Amount { get; set; }
