Properties with ReadOnly Attribute Not Showing in Drawing Tool

[TheTradingMantis]

I've created a couple of custom drawing tools and added a ReadOnly attribute to a ToolVersion Property.

[ReadOnly(true)]
[Display(Name = "Tool Version", GroupName = "Version", Order = 0)]
public string ToolVersion { get; set; }

This ReadOnly Property does not show up in the Drawing Tool Properties Dialog. Is this expected? or a bug?

Thanks,
Greg

Hello gregschr,

I took a look at the given code and I also see that this does not work in a drawing object. unfortunately the ReadOnly attribute is not documented so I am not sure if that is to be expected in a drawing object.

For a drawing object you can make a non editable property by incorrectly using the get/set for the property:

private string version = "1";
[Display(Name = "Tool Version", GroupName = "General", Order = 0)]
public string ToolVersion { get { return version;  } set { }}

The user could edit the version but when the focus leaves the input field the private varaible value is used and replaces what the user typed.

A kludge will have to do... Thx for the confirmation
