348 @section pgproperty_properties Supplied Ready-to-use Property Classes
349
350 Here is a list and short description of supplied fully-functional
351 property classes. They are located in either props.h or advprops.h.

373
374 @subsection wxPropertyCategory
375
376 Not an actual property per se, but a header for a group of properties.
377 Regardless inherits from wxPGProperty, and supports displaying 'labels'
378 for columns other than the first one. Easiest way to set category's
379 label for second column is to call wxPGProperty::SetValue() with string
380 argument.
381
382 @subsection wxStringProperty
383
384 Simple string property. wxPG_STRING_PASSWORD attribute may be used
385 to echo value as asterisks and use wxTE_PASSWORD for wxTextCtrl.
386 wxPG_ATTR_AUTOCOMPLETE attribute may be used to enable auto-completion
387 (use a wxArrayString value), and is also supported by any property that
388 happens to use a wxTextCtrl-based editor.
389
390 @remarks wxStringProperty has a special trait: if it has value of
391 "<composed>", and also has child properties, then its displayed
392 value becomes composition of child property values, similar as
393 with wxFontProperty, for instance.
394
395 @subsection wxIntProperty
396
397 Like wxStringProperty, but converts text to a signed long integer.
398 wxIntProperty seamlessly supports 64-bit integers (ie. wxLongLong).
399 To safely convert variant to integer, use code like this:
400
401 @code
402 wxLongLong ll;
403 ll << property->GetValue();
404
405 // or
406 wxLongLong ll = propertyGrid->GetPropertyValueAsLong(property);
407 @endcode
408
409 @subsection wxUIntProperty
410
411 Like wxIntProperty, but displays value as unsigned int. To set
412 the prefix used globally, manipulate wxPG_UINT_PREFIX string attribute.
413 To set the globally used base, manipulate wxPG_UINT_BASE int
414 attribute. Regardless of current prefix, understands (hex) values starting
415 with both "0x" and "$".
416 Like wxIntProperty, wxUIntProperty seamlessly supports 64-bit unsigned
417 integers (ie. wxULongLong). Same wxVariant safety rules apply.
418
419 @subsection wxFloatProperty
420
421 Like wxStringProperty, but converts text to a double-precision floating point.
422 Default float-to-text precision is 6 decimals, but this can be changed
423 by modifying wxPG_FLOAT_PRECISION attribute.
424
425 Note that when displaying the value, sign is omitted if the resulting
426 textual representation is effectively zero (for example, -0.0001 with
427 precision of 3 will become 0.0 instead of -0.0). This behaviour is unlike
428 what C standard library does, but should result in better end-user
429 experience in almost all cases.
430
431 @subsection wxBoolProperty
432
433 Represents a boolean value. wxChoice is used as editor control, by the
434 <<<<<<< .mine
435 default. wxPG_BOOL_USE_CHECKBOX attribute can be set to true in order to
436 use check box instead.
437 =======
438 default. wxPG_BOOL_USE_CHECKBOX attribute can be set to true in order to use
439 check box instead.
440 >>>>>>> .r67279
441
442 @subsection wxLongStringProperty
443
444 Like wxStringProperty, but has a button that triggers a small text editor
445 dialog. Note that in long string values, tabs are represented by "\t" and
446 line break by "\n".
447
448 To display custom dialog on button press, you can subclass
449 wxLongStringProperty and implement OnButtonClick, like this:
450
451 @code
452 virtual bool OnButtonClick( wxPropertyGrid* propGrid, wxString& value )
453 {
454 wxSize dialogSize(...size of your dialog...);
455
456 wxPoint dlgPos = propGrid->GetGoodEditorDialogPosition(this,
457 dialogSize)
458
459 // Create dialog dlg at dlgPos. Use value as initial string
460 // value.
461 ...
462
463 if ( dlg.ShowModal() == wxID_OK )
464 {
465 value = dlg.GetStringValue);
466 return true;
467 }
468 return false;
469 }
470 @endcode
471
472 Also, if you wish not to have line breaks and tabs translated to
473 escape sequences, then do following in constructor of your subclass:
474
475 @code
476 m_flags |= wxPG_PROP_NO_ESCAPE;
477 @endcode
478
479 @subsection wxDirProperty
480
481 Like wxLongStringProperty, but the button triggers dir selector instead.
482 Supported properties (all with string value): wxPG_DIR_DIALOG_MESSAGE.
483
484 @subsection wxFileProperty
485
486 Like wxLongStringProperty, but the button triggers file selector instead.
487 Default wildcard is "All files..." but this can be changed by setting
488 wxPG_FILE_WILDCARD attribute (see wxFileDialog for format details).
489 Attribute wxPG_FILE_SHOW_FULL_PATH can be set to @false in order to show
490 only the filename, not the entire path.
491
492 @subsection wxEnumProperty
493
494 Represents a single selection from a list of choices -
495 wxOwnerDrawnComboBox is used to edit the value.
496
497 @subsection wxFlagsProperty
498
499 Represents a bit set that fits in a long integer. wxBoolProperty sub-
500 properties are created for editing individual bits. Textctrl is created to
501 manually edit the flags as a text; a continuous sequence of spaces, commas
502 and semicolons are considered as a flag id separator.
503
504 <b>Note:</b> When changing "choices" (ie. flag labels) of wxFlagsProperty,
505 you will need to use wxPGProperty::SetChoices() - otherwise they will not
506 get updated properly.
507
508 wxFlagsProperty supports the same attributes as wxBoolProperty.
509
510 @subsection wxArrayStringProperty
511
512 Allows editing of a list of strings in wxTextCtrl and in a separate
513 dialog. Supports "Delimiter" attribute, which defaults to comma (',').
514
515 @subsection wxDateProperty
516
517 wxDateTime property. Default editor is DatePickerCtrl, although TextCtrl
518 should work as well. wxPG_DATE_FORMAT attribute can be used to change
519 string wxDateTime::Format uses (although default is recommended as it is
520 locale-dependant), and wxPG_DATE_PICKER_STYLE allows changing window
521 style given to DatePickerCtrl (default is wxDP_DEFAULT|wxDP_SHOWCENTURY).
522 Using wxDP_ALLOWNONE will enable better unspecified value support.
523
524 @subsection wxEditEnumProperty
525
526 Represents a string that can be freely edited or selected from list of choices -
527 custom combobox control is used to edit the value.
528
529 @subsection wxMultiChoiceProperty
530
531 Allows editing a multiple selection from a list of strings. This is
532 property is pretty much built around concept of wxMultiChoiceDialog.
533 It uses wxArrayString value.
534
535 @subsection wxImageFileProperty
536
537 Like wxFileProperty, but has thumbnail of the image in front of
538 the filename and autogenerates wildcard from available image handlers.
539
540 @subsection wxColourProperty
541
542 <b>Useful alternate editor:</b> Choice.
543
544 Represents wxColour. wxButton is used to trigger a colour picker dialog.
545 There are various sub-classing opportunities with this class. See
546 below in wxSystemColourProperty section for details.
547
548 Setting "HasAlpha" attribute to @true for this property allows user to
549 edit the alpha colour component.
550
551 @subsection wxFontProperty
552
553 Represents wxFont. Various sub-properties are used to edit individual
554 subvalues.
555
556 @subsection wxSystemColourProperty
557
558 Represents wxColour and a system colour index. wxChoice is used to edit
559 the value. Drop-down list has color images. Note that value type
560 is wxColourPropertyValue instead of wxColour (which wxColourProperty
561 uses).
562
563 @code
564 class wxColourPropertyValue : public wxObject
565 {
566 public:
567 // An integer value relating to the colour, and which exact
568 // meaning depends on the property with which it is used.
569 //
570 // For wxSystemColourProperty:
571 // Any of wxSYS_COLOUR_XXX, or any web-colour ( use wxPG_TO_WEB_COLOUR
572 // macro - (currently unsupported) ), or wxPG_COLOUR_CUSTOM.
573 wxUint32 m_type;
574
575 // Resulting colour. Should be correct regardless of type.
576 wxColour m_colour;
577 };
578 @endcode
579
580 in wxSystemColourProperty, and its derived class wxColourProperty, there
581 are various sub-classing features. To set a basic list of colour
582 names, call wxPGProperty::SetChoices().
583
584 @code
585 // Override in derived class to customize how colours are translated
586 // to strings.
587 virtual wxString ColourToString( const wxColour& col, int index ) const;
588
589 // Returns index of entry that triggers colour picker dialog
590 // (default is last).
591 virtual int GetCustomColourIndex() const;
592
593 // Helper function to show the colour dialog
594 bool QueryColourFromUser( wxVariant& variant ) const;
595
596 // Returns colour for given choice.
597 // Default function returns wxSystemSettings::GetColour(index).
598 virtual wxColour GetColour( int index ) const;
599 @endcode
600
601 @subsection wxCursorProperty
602
603 Represents a wxCursor. wxChoice is used to edit the value.
604 Drop-down list has cursor images under some (wxMSW) platforms.
605
606
607 @section pgproperty_creating Creating Custom Properties
608
609 New properties can be created by subclassing wxPGProperty or one
610 of the provided property classes, and (re)implementing necessary
611 member functions. Below, each virtual member function has ample
612 documentation about its purpose and any odd details which to keep
613 in mind.
614
615 Here is a very simple 'template' code:
616
617 @code
618 class MyProperty : public wxPGProperty

662 Since wxPGProperty derives from wxObject, you can use standard
663 wxDECLARE_DYNAMIC_CLASS and wxIMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC_CLASS macros. From the
664 above example they were omitted for sake of simplicity, and besides,
665 they are only really needed if you need to use wxRTTI with your
666 property class.
667
668 You can change the 'value type' of a property by simply assigning different
669 type of variant with SetValue. <b>It is mandatory to implement
670 wxVariantData class for all data types used as property values.</b>
671 You can use macros declared in wxPropertyGrid headers. For instance:
672
673 @code
674 // In header file:
675 // (If you need to have export declaration, use version of macros
676 // with _EXPORTED postfix)
677 WX_PG_DECLARE_VARIANT_DATA(MyDataClass)

679 // In sources file:
680 WX_PG_IMPLEMENT_VARIANT_DATA(MyDataClass)
