Filtering properties in a WPF PropertyGrid through event handling is a powerful technique that allows developers to dynamically control which properties are displayed at runtime. This is especially useful in scenarios where property visibility depends on:
- User interactions
- Application state
- Specific business logic
Dynamic filtering enhances the user experience by keeping the interface clean and relevant. For example:
- Hide advanced settings from novice users
- Show additional configuration options only when a checkbox is selected
- Display properties based on user roles or permissions
By leveraging events such as PropertyFilterChanged, or by implementing custom logic tied to UI triggers, developers can intercept the property rendering process and apply filters based on:
- Property type
- Category
- Name
- Custom attributes
