149 wxPGProperty is base class for all wxPropertyGrid properties. In
150 sections below we cover few related topics.
152 @li @ref pgproperty_properties
153 @li @ref pgproperty_creating
155 @section pgproperty_properties Supplied Ready-to-use Property Classes
157 Here is a list and short description of supplied fully-functional
158 property classes. They are located in either props.h or advprops.h.
160 @li @ref wxArrayStringProperty
161 @li @ref wxBoolProperty
162 @li @ref wxColourProperty
163 @li @ref wxCursorProperty
164 @li @ref wxDateProperty
165 @li @ref wxDirProperty
166 @li @ref wxEditEnumProperty

174 @li @ref wxLongStringProperty
175 @li @ref wxMultiChoiceProperty
176 @li @ref wxPropertyCategory
177 @li @ref wxStringProperty
178 @li @ref wxSystemColourProperty
179 @li @ref wxUIntProperty
181 @subsection wxPropertyCategory
183 Not an actual property per se, but a header for a group of properties.
184 Regardless inherits from wxPGProperty.
186 @subsection wxStringProperty
188 Simple string property. wxPG_STRING_PASSWORD attribute may be used
189 to echo value as asterisks and use wxTE_PASSWORD for wxTextCtrl.
191 @remarks wxStringProperty has a special trait: if it has value of
192 "<composed>", and also has child properties, then its displayed
193 value becomes composition of child property values, similar as
194 with wxFontProperty, for instance.
196 @subsection wxIntProperty
198 Like wxStringProperty, but converts text to a signed long integer.
199 wxIntProperty seamlessly supports 64-bit integers (ie. wxLongLong).
200 To safely convert variant to integer, use code like this:
204 ll << property->GetValue();
207 wxLongLong ll = propertyGrid->GetPropertyValueAsLong(property);
210 @subsection wxUIntProperty
212 Like wxIntProperty, but displays value as unsigned int. To set
213 the prefix used globally, manipulate wxPG_UINT_PREFIX string attribute.
214 To set the globally used base, manipulate wxPG_UINT_BASE int
215 attribute. Regardless of current prefix, understands (hex) values starting
216 with both "0x" and "$".
217 Like wxIntProperty, wxUIntProperty seamlessly supports 64-bit unsigned
218 integers (ie. wxULongLong). Same wxVariant safety rules apply.
220 @subsection wxFloatProperty
222 Like wxStringProperty, but converts text to a double-precision floating point.
223 Default float-to-text precision is 6 decimals, but this can be changed
224 by modifying wxPG_FLOAT_PRECISION attribute.
226 @subsection wxBoolProperty
228 Represents a boolean value. wxChoice is used as editor control, by the
229 default. wxPG_BOOL_USE_CHECKBOX attribute can be set to true inorder to use
232 @subsection wxLongStringProperty
234 Like wxStringProperty, but has a button that triggers a small text editor
235 dialog. Note that in long string values, tabs are represented by "\t" and
238 To display custom dialog on button press, you can subclass
239 wxLongStringProperty and implement OnButtonClick, like this:
242 virtual bool OnButtonClick( wxPropertyGrid* propGrid, wxString& value )
244 wxSize dialogSize(...size of your dialog...);
246 wxPoint dlgPos = propGrid->GetGoodEditorDialogPosition(this,
249 // Create dialog dlg at dlgPos. Use value as initial string
253 if ( dlg.ShowModal() == wxID_OK )
255 value = dlg.GetStringValue);
262 Also, if you wish not to have line breaks and tabs translated to
263 escape sequences, then do following in constructor of your subclass:
266 m_flags |= wxPG_PROP_NO_ESCAPE;
269 @subsection wxDirProperty
271 Like wxLongStringProperty, but the button triggers dir selector instead.
272 Supported properties (all with string value): wxPG_DIR_DIALOG_MESSAGE.
274 @subsection wxFileProperty
276 Like wxLongStringProperty, but the button triggers file selector instead.
277 Default wildcard is "All files..." but this can be changed by setting
278 wxPG_FILE_WILDCARD attribute (see wxFileDialog for format details).
279 Attribute wxPG_FILE_SHOW_FULL_PATH can be set to @false inorder to show
280 only the filename, not the entire path.
282 @subsection wxEnumProperty
284 Represents a single selection from a list of choices -
285 wxOwnerDrawnComboBox is used to edit the value.
287 @subsection wxFlagsProperty
289 Represents a bit set that fits in a long integer. wxBoolProperty sub-properties
290 are created for editing individual bits. Textctrl is created to manually edit
291 the flags as a text; a continous sequence of spaces, commas and semicolons
292 is considered as a flag id separator.
293 <b>Note: </b> When changing "choices" (ie. flag labels) of wxFlagsProperty, you
294 will need to use wxPGProperty::SetChoices() - otherwise they will not get updated
297 @subsection wxArrayStringProperty
299 Allows editing of a list of strings in wxTextCtrl and in a separate dialog.
301 @subsection wxDateProperty
303 wxDateTime property. Default editor is DatePickerCtrl, altough TextCtrl
304 should work as well. wxPG_DATE_FORMAT attribute can be used to change
305 string wxDateTime::Format uses (altough default is recommended as it is
306 locale-dependant), and wxPG_DATE_PICKER_STYLE allows changing window
307 style given to DatePickerCtrl (default is wxDP_DEFAULT|wxDP_SHOWCENTURY).
309 @subsection wxEditEnumProperty
311 Represents a string that can be freely edited or selected from list of choices -
312 custom combobox control is used to edit the value.
314 @subsection wxMultiChoiceProperty
316 Allows editing a multiple selection from a list of strings. This is
317 property is pretty much built around concept of wxMultiChoiceDialog.
318 It uses wxArrayString value.
320 @subsection wxImageFileProperty
322 Like wxFileProperty, but has thumbnail of the image in front of
323 the filename and autogenerates wildcard from available image handlers.
325 @subsection wxColourProperty
327 <b>Useful alternate editor:</b> Choice.
329 Represents wxColour. wxButton is used to trigger a colour picker dialog.
330 There are various sub-classing opportunities with this class. See
331 below in wxSystemColourProperty section for details.
333 @subsection wxFontProperty
335 Represents wxFont. Various sub-properties are used to edit individual
338 @subsection wxSystemColourProperty
340 Represents wxColour and a system colour index. wxChoice is used to edit
341 the value. Drop-down list has color images. Note that value type
342 is wxColourPropertyValue instead of wxColour (which wxColourProperty
346 class wxColourPropertyValue : public wxObject
349 // An integer value relating to the colour, and which exact
350 // meaning depends on the property with which it is used.
352 // For wxSystemColourProperty:
353 // Any of wxSYS_COLOUR_XXX, or any web-colour ( use wxPG_TO_WEB_COLOUR
354 // macro - (currently unsupported) ), or wxPG_COLOUR_CUSTOM.
357 // Resulting colour. Should be correct regardless of type.
362 in wxSystemColourProperty, and its derived class wxColourProperty, there
363 are various sub-classing features. To set basic list list of colour
364 names, call wxPGProperty::SetChoices().
367 // Override in derived class to customize how colours are translated
369 virtual wxString ColourToString( const wxColour& col, int index ) const;
371 // Returns index of entry that triggers colour picker dialog
372 // (default is last).
373 virtual int GetCustomColourIndex() const;
375 // Helper function to show the colour dialog
376 bool QueryColourFromUser( wxVariant& variant ) const;
378 // Returns colour for given choice.
379 // Default function returns wxSystemSettings::GetColour(index).
380 virtual wxColour GetColour( int index ) const;
383 @subsection wxCursorProperty
385 Represents a wxCursor. wxChoice is used to edit the value.
386 Drop-down list has cursor images under some (wxMSW) platforms.
389 @section pgproperty_creating Creating Custom Properties
391 New properties can be created by subclassing wxPGProperty or one
392 of the provided property classes, and (re)implementing necessary
393 member functions. Below, each virtual member function has ample
394 documentation about its purpose and any odd details which to keep
397 Here is a very simple 'template' code:
400 class MyProperty : public wxPGProperty
403 // All arguments of ctor must have a default value -
404 // use wxPG_LABEL for label and name
405 MyProperty( const wxString& label = wxPG_LABEL,
406 const wxString& name = wxPG_LABEL,
407 const wxString& value = wxEmptyString )
409 // m_value is wxVariant
413 virtual ~MyProperty() { }
415 const wxPGEditor* DoGetEditorClass() const
417 // Determines editor used by property.
418 // You can replace 'TextCtrl' below with any of these
419 // builtin-in property editor identifiers: Choice, ComboBox,
420 // TextCtrlAndButton, ChoiceAndButton, CheckBox, SpinCtrl,
422 return wxPGEditor_TextCtrl;
425 virtual wxString ValueToString( wxVariant& value,
428 // TODO: Convert given property value to a string
431 virtual bool StringToValue( wxVariant& variant, const wxString& text, int argFlags )
433 // TODO: Adapt string to property value.
440 Since wxPGProperty derives from wxObject, you can use standard
441 DECLARE_DYNAMIC_CLASS and IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC_CLASS macros. From the
442 above example they were omitted for sake of simplicity, and besides,
443 they are only really needed if you need to use wxRTTI with your
446 You can change the 'value type' of a property by simply assigning different
447 type of variant with SetValue. <b>It is mandatory to implement
448 wxVariantData class for all data types used as property values.</b>
449 You can use macros declared in wxPropertyGrid headers. For instance:
453 // (If you need to have export declaration, use version of macros
454 // with _EXPORTED postfix)
455 WX_PG_DECLARE_VARIANT_DATA(MyDataClass)
458 WX_PG_IMPLEMENT_VARIANT_DATA(MyDataClass)
460 // Or, if you don't have valid == operator:
461 WX_PG_IMPLEMENT_VARIANT_DATA_DUMMY_EQ(MyDataClass)
467 class wxPGProperty
: public wxObject
470 typedef wxUint32 FlagType
;
479 Non-abstract property classes should have constructor of this style:
483 MyProperty( const wxString& label, const wxString& name, const T& value )
486 // Generally recommended way to set the initial value
487 // (as it should work in pretty much 100% of cases).
492 // If has private child properties then create them here. For example:
493 // AddChild( new wxStringProperty( "Subprop 1", wxPG_LABEL, value.GetSubProp1() ) );
498 wxPGProperty( const wxString
& label
, const wxString
& name
);
501 Virtual destructor. It is customary for derived properties to implement this.
503 virtual ~wxPGProperty();
506 This virtual function is called after m_value has been set.
509 - If m_value was set to Null variant (ie. unspecified value), OnSetValue()
511 - m_value may be of any variant type. Typically properties internally support only
512 one variant type, and as such OnSetValue() provides a good opportunity to convert
513 supported values into internal type.
514 - Default implementation does nothing.
516 virtual void OnSetValue();
519 Override this to return something else than m_value as the value.
521 virtual wxVariant
DoGetValue() const;
524 Implement this function in derived class to check the value.
525 Return @true if it is ok. Returning @false prevents property change events
529 - Default implementation always returns @true.
531 virtual bool ValidateValue( wxVariant
& value
, wxPGValidationInfo
& validationInfo
) const;
534 Converts text into wxVariant value appropriate for this property.
537 On function entry this is the old value (should not be wxNullVariant
538 in normal cases). Translated value must be assigned back to it.
541 Text to be translated into variant.
544 If wxPG_FULL_VALUE is set, returns complete, storable value instead
545 of displayable one (they may be different).
546 If wxPG_COMPOSITE_FRAGMENT is set, text is interpreted as a part of
547 composite property string value (as generated by ValueToString()
548 called with this same flag).
550 @return Returns @true if resulting wxVariant value was different.
552 @remarks Default implementation converts semicolon delimited tokens into
553 child values. Only works for properties with children.
555 You might want to take into account that m_value is Null variant
556 if property value is unspecified (which is usually only case if
557 you explicitly enabled that sort behavior).
559 virtual bool StringToValue( wxVariant
& variant
, const wxString
& text
, int argFlags
= 0 ) const;
562 Converts integer (possibly a choice selection) into wxVariant value
563 appropriate for this property.
566 On function entry this is the old value (should not be wxNullVariant
567 in normal cases). Translated value must be assigned back to it.
569 Integer to be translated into variant.
571 If wxPG_FULL_VALUE is set, returns complete, storable value instead
574 @return Returns @true if resulting wxVariant value was different.
577 - If property is not supposed to use choice or spinctrl or other editor
578 with int-based value, it is not necessary to implement this method.
579 - Default implementation simply assign given int to m_value.
580 - If property uses choice control, and displays a dialog on some choice
581 items, then it is preferred to display that dialog in IntToValue
583 - You might want to take into account that m_value is Mull variant if
584 property value is unspecified (which is usually only case if you
585 explicitly enabled that sort behavior).
587 virtual bool IntToValue( wxVariant
& variant
, int number
, int argFlags
= 0 ) const;
590 Converts property value into a text representation.
593 Value to be converted.
595 If 0 (default value), then displayed string is returned.
596 If wxPG_FULL_VALUE is set, returns complete, storable string value
597 instead of displayable. If wxPG_EDITABLE_VALUE is set, returns
598 string value that must be editable in textctrl.
599 If wxPG_COMPOSITE_FRAGMENT is set, returns text that is appropriate to
600 display as a part of string property's composite text representation.
602 @remarks Default implementation calls GenerateComposedValue().
604 virtual wxString
ValueToString( wxVariant
& value
, int argFlags
= 0 ) const;
607 Converts string to a value, and if successful, calls SetValue() on it.
608 Default behavior is to do nothing.
611 String to get the value from.
615 @return @true if value was changed.
617 bool SetValueFromString( const wxString
& text
, int flags
= 0 );
620 Converts integer to a value, and if succesful, calls SetValue() on it.
621 Default behavior is to do nothing.
624 Int to get the value from.
626 If has wxPG_FULL_VALUE, then the value given is a actual value and not an index.
628 @return @true if value was changed.
630 bool SetValueFromInt( long value
, int flags
= 0 );
633 Returns size of the custom painted image in front of property. This method
634 must be overridden to return non-default value if OnCustomPaint is to be
638 Normally -1, but can be an index to the property's list of items.
641 - Default behavior is to return wxSize(0,0), which means no image.
642 - Default image width or height is indicated with dimension -1.
643 - You can also return wxPG_DEFAULT_IMAGE_SIZE which equals wxSize(-1, -1).
645 virtual wxSize
OnMeasureImage( int item
= -1 ) const;
648 Events received by editor widgets are processed here. Note that editor class
649 usually processes most events. Some, such as button press events of
650 TextCtrlAndButton class, can be handled here. Also, if custom handling
651 for regular events is desired, then that can also be done (for example,
652 wxSystemColourProperty custom handles wxEVT_COMMAND_CHOICE_SELECTED
653 to display colour picker dialog when 'custom' selection is made).
655 If the event causes value to be changed, SetValueInEvent() should be called
656 to set the new value.
658 The parameter @a event is the associated wxEvent.
661 Should return @true if any changes in value should be reported.
664 - If property uses choice control, and displays a dialog on some choice items,
665 then it is preferred to display that dialog in IntToValue instead of OnEvent.
667 virtual bool OnEvent( wxPropertyGrid
* propgrid
, wxWindow
* wnd_primary
, wxEvent
& event
);
670 Called after value of a child property has been altered. Note that this function is
671 usually called at the time that value of this property, or given child property, is
672 still pending for change.
674 Sample pseudo-code implementation:
677 void MyProperty::ChildChanged( wxVariant& thisValue, int childIndex, wxVariant& childValue ) const
679 // Acquire reference to actual type of data stored in variant
680 // (TFromVariant only exists if wxPropertyGrid's wxVariant-macros were used to create
681 // the variant class).
682 T& data = TFromVariant(thisValue);
684 // Copy childValue into data.
685 switch ( childIndex )
688 data.SetSubProp1( childvalue.GetLong() );
691 data.SetSubProp2( childvalue.GetString() );
699 Value of this property, that should be altered.
701 Index of child changed (you can use Item(childIndex) to get).
703 Value of the child property.
705 virtual void ChildChanged( wxVariant
& thisValue
, int childIndex
, wxVariant
& childValue
) const;
708 Returns pointer to an instance of used editor.
710 virtual const wxPGEditor
* DoGetEditorClass() const;
713 Returns pointer to the wxValidator that should be used
714 with the editor of this property (@NULL for no validator).
715 Setting validator explicitly via SetPropertyValidator
718 In most situations, code like this should work well
719 (macros are used to maintain one actual validator instance,
720 so on the second call the function exits within the first
725 wxValidator* wxMyPropertyClass::DoGetValidator () const
727 WX_PG_DOGETVALIDATOR_ENTRY()
729 wxMyValidator* validator = new wxMyValidator(...);
731 ... prepare validator...
733 WX_PG_DOGETVALIDATOR_EXIT(validator)
739 You can get common filename validator by returning
740 wxFileProperty::GetClassValidator(). wxDirProperty,
741 for example, uses it.
743 virtual wxValidator
* DoGetValidator () const;
746 Override to paint an image in front of the property value text or drop-down
747 list item (but only if wxPGProperty::OnMeasureImage is overridden as well).
749 If property's OnMeasureImage() returns size that has height != 0 but less than
750 row height ( < 0 has special meanings), wxPropertyGrid calls this method to
751 draw a custom image in a limited area in front of the editor control or
752 value text/graphics, and if control has drop-down list, then the image is
753 drawn there as well (even in the case OnMeasureImage() returned higher height
756 NOTE: Following applies when OnMeasureImage() returns a "flexible" height (
757 using wxPG_FLEXIBLE_SIZE(W,H) macro), which implies variable height items:
758 If rect.x is < 0, then this is a measure item call, which means that
759 dc is invalid and only thing that should be done is to set paintdata.m_drawnHeight
760 to the height of the image of item at index paintdata.m_choiceItem. This call
761 may be done even as often as once every drop-down popup show.
766 Box reserved for custom graphics. Includes surrounding rectangle, if any.
767 If x is < 0, then this is a measure item call (see above).
769 wxPGPaintData structure with much useful data about painted item.
774 const wxPropertyGrid* m_parent;
776 // Normally -1, otherwise index to drop-down list item that has to be drawn.
779 // Set to drawn width in OnCustomPaint (optional).
782 // In a measure item call, set this to the height of item at m_choiceItem index
788 - You can actually exceed rect width, but if you do so then paintdata.m_drawnWidth
789 must be set to the full width drawn in pixels.
790 - Due to technical reasons, rect's height will be default even if custom height
791 was reported during measure call.
792 - Brush is guaranteed to be default background colour. It has been already used to
793 clear the background of area being painted. It can be modified.
794 - Pen is guaranteed to be 1-wide 'black' (or whatever is the proper colour) pen for
795 drawing framing rectangle. It can be changed as well.
799 virtual void OnCustomPaint( wxDC
& dc
, const wxRect
& rect
, wxPGPaintData
& paintdata
);
802 Returns used wxPGCellRenderer instance for given property column (label=0, value=1).
804 Default implementation returns editor's renderer for all columns.
806 virtual wxPGCellRenderer
* GetCellRenderer( int column
) const;
809 Returns which choice is currently selected. Only applies to properties
812 Needs to reimplemented in derived class if property value does not
813 map directly to a choice. Integer as index, bool, and string usually do.
815 virtual int GetChoiceSelection() const;
818 Refresh values of child properties. Automatically called after value is set.
820 virtual void RefreshChildren();
823 Special handling for attributes of this property.
825 If returns @false, then the attribute will be automatically stored in
828 Default implementation simply returns @false.
830 virtual bool DoSetAttribute( const wxString
& name
, wxVariant
& value
);
833 Returns value of an attribute.
835 Override if custom handling of attributes is needed.
