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
23 documented on this page. This means you will probably also want to read
24 wxPropertyGridInterface class reference.
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::
30 IsHandlingAllEvents returns false, then unhandled events are sent to the
31 manager's parent, as usual.

49 Deletes all properties on page.
54 Reduces column sizes to minimum possible that contents are still visibly
55 (naturally some margin space will be applied as well).
57 @return Returns minimum size for the page to still display everything.
59 @remarks This function only works properly if size of containing grid was
62 Note that you can also get calculated column widths by calling
63 GetColumnWidth() immediately after this function returns.
68 Returns page index in manager;
70 inline int GetIndex() const;
73 Returns "root property". It does not have name, etc. and it is not
74 visible. It is only useful for accessing its children.

81 int GetSplitterPosition( int col

84 Returns id of the tool bar item that represents this page on
85 wxPropertyGridManager's wxToolBar.
93 Do any member initialization in this method.
95 @remarks - Called every time the page is added into a manager.
96 - You can add properties to the page here.
98 virtual void Init() {}
101 Return false here to indicate unhandled events should be
102 propagated to manager's parent, as normal.

107 Called every time page is about to be shown.
108 Useful, for instance, creating properties just-in-time.

117 /** Sets splitter position on page.

128 /** @class wxPropertyGridManager
130 wxPropertyGridManager is an efficient multi-page version of wxPropertyGrid,
131 which can optionally have toolbar for mode and page selection, and a help text
134 wxPropertyGridManager inherits from wxPropertyGridInterface, and as such
135 it has most property manipulation functions. However, only some of them affect
136 properties on all pages (eg. GetPropertyByName() and ExpandAll()), while some
137 (eg. Append()) only apply to the currently selected page.
139 To operate explicitly on properties on specific page, use
140 wxPropertyGridManager::GetPage() to obtain pointer to page's
141 wxPropertyGridPage object.
143 Visual methods, such as SetCellBackgroundColour() are only available in
144 wxPropertyGrid. Use wxPropertyGridManager::GetGrid() to obtain pointer to it.
146 Non-virtual iterators will not work in wxPropertyGridManager. Instead, you must
147 acquire the internal grid (GetGrid()) or wxPropertyGridPage object (GetPage()).
149 wxPropertyGridManager constructor has exact same format as wxPropertyGrid
150 constructor, and basicly accepts same extra window style flags (albeit also
151 has some extra ones).
153 Here's some example code for creating and populating a wxPropertyGridManager:
157 wxPropertyGridManager* pgMan = new wxPropertyGridManager(this, PGID,
158 wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize,
159 // These and other similar styles are automatically
160 // passed to the embedded wxPropertyGrid.
161 wxPG_BOLD_MODIFIED|wxPG_SPLITTER_AUTO_CENTER|
164 // Include description box.
166 // Include compactor.
169 wxPGMAN_DEFAULT_STYLE
172 wxPropertyGridPage* page;
174 page = pgMan->AddPage(wxT("First Page"));
176 page->Append( new wxPropertyCategory(wxT("Category A1")) );
178 page->Append( new wxIntProperty(wxT("Number"),wxPG_LABEL,1) );
180 page->Append( new wxColourProperty(wxT("Colour"),wxPG_LABEL,*wxWHITE) );
182 page = pgMan->AddPage(wxT("Second Page"));
184 page->Append( wxT("Text"),wxPG_LABEL,wxT("(no text)") );
186 page->Append( new wxFontProperty(wxT("Font"),wxPG_LABEL) );
