Property Value

Type	Description
Nullable<AllowExpandingMode>	An AllowExpandingMode enumeration value.

Available values:

Name	Description
Default	Expands properties according to their type converters.
Never	Doesn’t expand any property.
ForceIfNoTypeConverter	Expands all properties that don’t have a type converter.
Force	Expands all properties.

Remarks

If the AllowExpanding property is set to null, the property grid’s PropertyGridControl.AllowExpanding property specifies whether the end-user is allowed to expand the property.

If the AllowExpanding property is set to AllowExpandingMode.Default, the end-user is allowed to expand the property if it contains child properties.
