Class GridCellTypeNameConverter

GridCellTypeNameConverter implements a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter for CellType of the GridStyleInfo class.

Inheritance
System.Object
GridCellTypeNameConverter
Namespace: Syncfusion.Windows.Controls.Grid
Assembly: Syncfusion.Grid.Wpf.dll
Syntax
public class GridCellTypeNameConverter : TypeConverter
Remarks

In its current implementation, the cell type name converter loads all cell types from the BaseStylesMap. So, in order to make new cell types appear in a property grid, BaseStylesMap provides a mechanism to register cell type names. TODO: Is this correct?

GridCellTypeNameConverter returns a list of cell types. If you display a GridStyleInfo in a , you will be able to drop-down a choicelist with cell types for the CellType property.
