384 for example, to categorize properties, set up a complete tree-hierarchy,
385 add more than two columns, and set arbitrary per-property attributes.
386
387 Please note that most member functions are inherited and as such not

398
399 To process input from a property grid control, use these event handler macros
400 to direct input to member functions that take a wxPropertyGridEvent argument.
401
402 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxPropertyGridEvent}
403 @event{EVT_PG_SELECTED (id, func)}
404 Respond to @c wxEVT_PG_SELECTED event, generated when a property selection
405 has been changed, either by user action or by indirect program
406 function. For instance, collapsing a parent property programmatically
407 causes any selected child property to become unselected, and may
408 therefore cause this event to be generated.
409 @event{EVT_PG_CHANGED(id, func)}
410 Respond to @c wxEVT_PG_CHANGED event, generated when property value
411 has been changed by the user.
412 @event{EVT_PG_CHANGING(id, func)}
413 Respond to @c wxEVT_PG_CHANGING event, generated when property value
414 is about to be changed by user. Use wxPropertyGridEvent::GetValue()
415 to take a peek at the pending value, and wxPropertyGridEvent::Veto()
416 to prevent change from taking place, if necessary.
417 @event{EVT_PG_HIGHLIGHTED(id, func)}
418 Respond to @c wxEVT_PG_HIGHLIGHTED event, which occurs when mouse
419 moves over a property. Event's property is NULL if hovered area does
420 not belong to any property.
421 @event{EVT_PG_RIGHT_CLICK(id, func)}
422 Respond to @c wxEVT_PG_RIGHT_CLICK event, which occurs when property is
423 clicked on with right mouse button.
424 @event{EVT_PG_DOUBLE_CLICK(id, func)}
425 Respond to @c wxEVT_PG_DOUBLE_CLICK event, which occurs when property is
426 double-clicked on with left mouse button.
427 @event{EVT_PG_ITEM_COLLAPSED(id, func)}
428 Respond to @c wxEVT_PG_ITEM_COLLAPSED event, generated when user collapses
429 a property or category.
430 @event{EVT_PG_ITEM_EXPANDED(id, func)}
431 Respond to @c wxEVT_PG_ITEM_EXPANDED event, generated when user expands
432 a property or category.
433 @event{EVT_PG_LABEL_EDIT_BEGIN(id, func)}
434 Respond to @c wxEVT_PG_LABEL_EDIT_BEGIN event, generated when user is
435 about to begin editing a property label. You can veto this event to
436 prevent the action.
437 @event{EVT_PG_LABEL_EDIT_ENDING(id, func)}
438 Respond to @c wxEVT_PG_LABEL_EDIT_ENDING event, generated when user is
439 about to end editing of a property label. You can veto this event to
440 prevent the action.
441 @event{EVT_PG_COL_BEGIN_DRAG(id, func)}
442 Respond to @c wxEVT_PG_COL_BEGIN_DRAG event, generated when user
443 starts resizing a column - can be vetoed.
444 @event{EVT_PG_COL_DRAGGING,(id, func)}
445 Respond to @c wxEVT_PG_COL_DRAGGING, event, generated when a
446 column resize by user is in progress. This event is also generated
447 when user double-clicks the splitter in order to recenter
448 it.
449 @event{EVT_PG_COL_END_DRAG(id, func)}
450 Respond to @c wxEVT_PG_COL_END_DRAG event, generated after column
451 resize by user has finished.
452 @endEventTable

455 Use Freeze() and Thaw() respectively to disable and enable drawing.
