How to customize an expandable object in the property grid?

[wbennettjr]

Is there a sample of how to achieve customization like the plots do in the indicator property grid? Say I have a class that has a single brush property. How can I show the color of the brush when the property is collapsed like the plot properties do?

Hello wbennettjr,

Thank you for your post.

Here is an example that shows how to use a Stroke to get that expandable/collapsible style in the property grid and then use information from that to create a line - you may be able to do something similar utilizing a Stroke to get/display that color information.

What do you currently have in your code to display that property?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Thanks Kate,

I'm already able to achieve what you have in the sample. My question isn't about retrieving color/brush information. It is about determining what shows for a collapsed expandable property.



What I want to know is how I can provide my own UI element that shows up to the right as is shown to the right of the collapsed EMA plot of the image. I have a class with three brushes and I would like to paint the three brushes so the colors are visible even when collapsed.

Thanks,
Wil

Hello wbennettjr,

Thank you for your reply.

There would not be a supported method of doing this, and from speaking with our dev team, does not appear to be an unsupported method to do this in a custom class. That element is created by a custom data template which is typebound on Stroke, which would not be possible to implement in a custom class.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
