PropertyDefinitionBase.PropertyDefinitionTemplateSelector Property

Gets or sets an object that chooses a property definition template based on custom logic. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.PropertyGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.PropertyGrid.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public DataTemplateSelector PropertyDefinitionTemplateSelector { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property PropertyDefinitionTemplateSelector As DataTemplateSelector

Property Value

Type	Description
DataTemplateSelector	A DataTemplateSelector descendant that chooses a template based on custom logic.

Remarks

A template that defines the presentation of property definitions is specified by the PropertyGridControl.PropertyDefinitionTemplate property. If you have more than one template that can be used to render property definitions, you can implement custom logic to choose the required template. To do this, derive from the DataTemplateSelector class, implement the SelectTemplate method that returns a template which meets the required condition, and assign it to the PropertyDefinitionTemplateSelector property.

If both the PropertyDefinitionBase.PropertyDefinitionTemplate and PropertyDefinitionTemplateSelector are specified, the column’s header is rendered using the template returned by the template selector. If the template selector returns null, the template specified by the PropertyDefinitionBase.PropertyDefinitionTemplate property is used.
