Property grid: how to set the display name label of each property to the right of the grid?

Question

I have implemented a custom property grid, I want to know if I can change the label position of each property from left to right.

My custom property grid shows a property, as you can see in the picture.

I want to change it like this:

This is the main custom property grid code.

public class CustomPropertyGrid : PropertyGrid { private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null; private ReperesentAttr representAttr; private myTab tab; public CustomPropertyGrid() { this.representAttr = new ReperesentAttr("", ""); tab.SetRepresentAttr = this.representAttr; InitializeComponent(); this.PropertySort = PropertySort.Alphabetical; this.RightToLeft = RightToLeft.Yes; // this. } public ReperesentAttr SetRepresentAttr { set { representAttr = value; tab.SetRepresentAttr = this.representAttr; } } protected override void Dispose(bool disposing) { if (disposing) { if (components != null) { components.Dispose(); } } base.Dispose(disposing); } #region Codice generato da Progettazione componenti /// <summary> /// Metodo necessario per il supporto della finestra di progettazione. Non modificare /// il contenuto del metodo con l'editor di codice. /// </summary> private void InitializeComponent() { // // UserControl1 // this.Name = "myPropertyGrid"; } #endregion protected override PropertyTab CreatePropertyTab(Type tabType) { tab = new myTab(representAttr); return tab; } } public class myTab : PropertyTab { private ReperesentAttr representAttr; public myTab(ReperesentAttr representAttr) { this.representAttr = representAttr; } public ReperesentAttr SetRepresentAttr { set { representAttr = value; } } // get the properties of the selected component public override System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection GetProperties(object component, System.Attribute[] attributes) { PropertyDescriptorCollection properties; if (attributes != null) properties = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(component, attributes); else properties = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(component); //Componet must implement the ICUSTOMCLASS interface. if (component is ICustomClass ) { ICustomClass bclass = (ICustomClass)component; //The new array of properties, based on the PublicProperties properties of "model" PropertyDescriptor[] arrProp = new PropertyDescriptor[bclass.PublicProperties.Count]; for (int i = 0; i < bclass.PublicProperties.Count; i++) { //Find the properties in the array of the propertis which neme is in the PubliCProperties PropertyDescriptor prop = properties.Find(bclass.PublicProperties[i].Name, true); //Build a new properties arrProp[i] = TypeDescriptor.CreateProperty(prop.ComponentType, prop, new CategoryAttribute(this.representAttr.Category)); } return new PropertyDescriptorCollection(arrProp); } else { return properties; } } public override System.ComponentModel.PropertyDescriptorCollection GetProperties(object component) { return this.GetProperties(component, null); } // PropertyTab Name public override string TabName { get { return "Properties"; } } //Image of the property tab (return a blank 16x16 Bitmap) public override System.Drawing.Bitmap Bitmap { get { return new Bitmap(16, 16); } } } public class ReperesentAttr { string category = string.Empty; string name = string.Empty; public ReperesentAttr(string name, string category) { this.category = category; this.name = name; } public string Category { set { category = value; } get { return category; } } public string Name { set { name = value; } get { return name; } } } public interface ICustomClass { PropertyList PublicProperties { get; set; } } public class PropertyList : NameObjectCollectionBase { public void Add(Object value) { //The key for the object is taken from the object to insert this.BaseAdd(((CustomProperty)value).Name, value); } public void Remove(String key) { this.BaseRemove(key); } public void Remove(int index) { this.BaseRemoveAt(index); } public void Clear() { this.BaseClear(); } public CustomProperty this[String key] { get { return (CustomProperty)(this.BaseGet(key)); } set { this.BaseSet(key, value); } } public CustomProperty this[int indice] { get { return (CustomProperty)(this.BaseGet(indice)); } set { this.BaseSet(indice, value); } } public bool HasKey(String key) { foreach(String item in this.BaseGetAllKeys()) { if(key == item) return true; } return false; } }

Add this to your CustomPropertyGrid, this may get you started:

 const int WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL = 0x400000; private bool _RTL = false; [Description("Change to the right-to-left layout."), DefaultValue(false), Localizable(true), Category("Appearance"), Browsable(true)] public bool Mirrored { get { return _RTL; } set { if (_RTL != value) _RTL = value; base.OnRightToLeftChanged(EventArgs.Empty); } } protected override CreateParams CreateParams { get { CreateParams CP; CP = base.CreateParams; if (this.Mirrored) CP.ExStyle = CP.ExStyle | WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL; return CP; } }
