9 /** @class wxPropertyGridPage
11 Holder of property grid page information. You can subclass this and
12 give instance in wxPropertyGridManager::AddPage. It inherits from
13 wxEvtHandler and can be used to process events specific to this
14 page (id of events will still be same as manager's). If you don't
15 want to use it to process all events of the page, you need to
16 return false in the derived wxPropertyGridPage::IsHandlingAllEvents.
18 Please note that wxPropertyGridPage lacks many non-const property
19 manipulation functions found in wxPropertyGridManager. Please use
20 parent manager (m_manager member variable) when needed.
22 Please note that most member functions are inherited and as such not documented on
23 this page. This means you will probably also want to read wxPropertyGridInterface
26 @section propgridpage_event_handling Event Handling
28 wxPropertyGridPage receives events emitted by its wxPropertyGridManager, but
29 only those events that are specific to that page. If wxPropertyGridPage::IsHandlingAllEvents
30 returns false, then unhandled events are sent to the manager's parent, as usual.

115 /** @class wxPropertyGridManager
117 wxPropertyGridManager is an efficient multi-page version of wxPropertyGrid,
118 which can optionally have toolbar for mode and page selection, and a help text
121 wxPropertyGridManager inherits from wxPropertyGridInterface, and as such
122 it has most property manipulation functions. However, only some of them affect
123 properties on all pages (eg. GetPropertyByName() and ExpandAll()), while some
124 (eg. Append()) only apply to the currently selected page.
126 To operate explicitly on properties on specific page, use wxPropertyGridManager::GetPage()
127 to obtain pointer to page's wxPropertyGridPage object.
129 Visual methods, such as SetCellBackgroundColour() are only available in
130 wxPropertyGrid. Use wxPropertyGridManager::GetGrid() to obtain pointer to it.
132 Non-virtual iterators will not work in wxPropertyGridManager. Instead, you must
133 acquire the internal grid (GetGrid()) or wxPropertyGridPage object (GetPage()).
135 wxPropertyGridManager constructor has exact same format as wxPropertyGrid
136 constructor, and basicly accepts same extra window style flags (albeit also
137 has some extra ones).
139 Here's some example code for creating and populating a wxPropertyGridManager:
143 wxPropertyGridManager* pgMan = new wxPropertyGridManager(this, PGID,
144 wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize,
145 // These and other similar styles are automatically
146 // passed to the embedded wxPropertyGrid.
147 wxPG_BOLD_MODIFIED|wxPG_SPLITTER_AUTO_CENTER|
150 // Include description box.
152 // Include compactor.
155 wxPGMAN_DEFAULT_STYLE
158 wxPropertyGridPage* page;
160 // Adding a page sets target page to the one added, so
161 // we don't have to call SetTargetPage if we are filling
162 // it right after adding.
163 pgMan->AddPage(wxT("First Page"));
164 page = pgMan->GetLastPage();
166 page->Append( new wxPropertyCategory(wxT("Category A1")) );
168 page->Append( new wxIntProperty(wxT("Number"),wxPG_LABEL,1) );
170 page->Append( new wxColourProperty(wxT("Colour"),wxPG_LABEL,*wxWHITE) );
172 pgMan->AddPage(wxT("Second Page"));
173 page = pgMan->GetLastPage();
175 page->Append( wxT("Text"),wxPG_LABEL,wxT("(no text)") );
177 page->Append( new wxFontProperty(wxT("Font"),wxPG_LABEL) );
