This class represents a particular row in a
PropertyGrid and is used in the
PropertyGrid.SelectedGridItem and
PropertyGrid.SelectedGridItemChanged members.
You can discover whether the row is Expandable
(and whether it is Expanded), which
GridItems are children of this one, and which is
its Parent.
The Label and Value can be
retrieved (but not set) through those properties, and you can also
retrieve the PropertyDescriptor for the item, to
discover what type the item Value might be and
which System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter is
available for it.
The Select() method causes the row represented by
this object to be selected in the PropertyGrid.
The GridItemType property is used to determine
whether this row in the grid represents an
ArrayValue, a Category line
(e.g., the Behavior, Layout labels), a simple
Property, or a Root item for an
expandable row.
