13 SetWindowStyleFlag method can be used to modify some of these at run-time.
16 enum wxPG_WINDOW_STYLES
20 This will cause Sort() automatically after an item is added.
21 When inserting a lot of items in this mode, it may make sense to
22 use Freeze() before operations and Thaw() afterwards to increase
25 wxPG_AUTO_SORT
= 0x00000010,
28 Categories are not initially shown (even if added).
29 IMPORTANT NOTE: If you do not plan to use categories, then this
30 style will waste resources.
31 This flag can also be changed using wxPropertyGrid::EnableCategories method.
33 wxPG_HIDE_CATEGORIES
= 0x00000020,
36 This style combines non-categoric mode and automatic sorting.
38 wxPG_ALPHABETIC_MODE
= (wxPG_HIDE_CATEGORIES
|wxPG_AUTO_SORT
),
41 Modified values are shown in bold font. Changing this requires Refresh()
44 wxPG_BOLD_MODIFIED
= 0x00000040,
47 When wxPropertyGrid is resized, splitter moves to the center. This
48 behavior stops once the user manually moves the splitter.
50 wxPG_SPLITTER_AUTO_CENTER
= 0x00000080,
53 Display tool tips for cell text that cannot be shown completely. If
54 wxUSE_TOOLTIPS is 0, then this doesn't have any effect.
56 wxPG_TOOLTIPS
= 0x00000100,
59 Disables margin and hides all expand/collapse buttons that would appear
60 outside the margin (for sub-properties). Toggling this style automatically
61 expands all collapsed items.
63 wxPG_HIDE_MARGIN
= 0x00000200,
66 This style prevents user from moving the splitter.
68 wxPG_STATIC_SPLITTER
= 0x00000400,
71 Combination of other styles that make it impossible for user to modify
74 wxPG_STATIC_LAYOUT
= (wxPG_HIDE_MARGIN
|wxPG_STATIC_SPLITTER
),
77 Disables wxTextCtrl based editors for properties which
78 can be edited in another way. Equals calling
79 wxPropertyGrid::LimitPropertyEditing() for all added properties.
81 wxPG_LIMITED_EDITING

95 property grid. Recommended if you use a header.
97 wxPG_NO_INTERNAL_BORDER
= 0x00004000
101 enum wxPG_EX_WINDOW_STYLES
105 NOTE: wxPG_EX_xxx are extra window styles and must be set using SetExtraStyle()
108 Speeds up switching to wxPG_HIDE_CATEGORIES mode. Initially, if
109 wxPG_HIDE_CATEGORIES is not defined, the non-categorized data storage is not
110 activated, and switching the mode first time becomes somewhat slower.
111 wxPG_EX_INIT_NOCAT activates the non-categorized data storage right away.
113 NOTE: If you do plan not switching to non-categoric mode, or if
114 you don't plan to use categories at all, then using this style will result
115 in waste of resources.
117 wxPG_EX_INIT_NOCAT
= 0x00001000,
120 Extended window style that sets wxPropertyGridManager tool bar to not
123 wxPG_EX_NO_FLAT_TOOLBAR

126 Shows alphabetic/categoric mode buttons from tool bar.
128 wxPG_EX_MODE_BUTTONS
= 0x00008000,
131 Show property help strings as tool tips instead as text on the status bar.
132 You can set the help strings using SetPropertyHelpString member function.
134 wxPG_EX_HELP_AS_TOOLTIPS
= 0x00010000,
137 Allows relying on native double-buffering.
139 wxPG_EX_NATIVE_DOUBLE_BUFFERING
= 0x00080000,
142 Set this style to let user have ability to set values of properties to
143 unspecified state. Same as setting wxPG_PROP_AUTO_UNSPECIFIED for
146 wxPG_EX_AUTO_UNSPECIFIED_VALUES
= 0x00200000,
149 If this style is used, built-in attributes (such as wxPG_FLOAT_PRECISION and
150 wxPG_STRING_PASSWORD) are not stored into property's attribute storage (thus
151 they are not readable).
153 Note that this option is global, and applies to all wxPG property containers.
155 wxPG_EX_WRITEONLY_BUILTIN_ATTRIBUTES
= 0x00400000,
158 Hides page selection buttons from tool bar.
160 wxPG_EX_HIDE_PAGE_BUTTONS
= 0x01000000,

163 when clicking on a property, or by dragging with left mouse button
166 You can get array of selected properties with
167 wxPropertyGridInterface::GetSelectedProperties(). In multiple selection
168 mode wxPropertyGridInterface::GetSelection() returns
169 property which has editor active (usually the first one
170 selected). Other useful member functions are ClearSelection(),
171 AddToSelection() and RemoveFromSelection().
173 wxPG_EX_MULTIPLE_SELECTION
= 0x02000000,
176 This enables top-level window tracking which allows wxPropertyGrid to
177 notify the application of last-minute property value changes by user.
179 This style is not enabled by default because it may cause crashes when
180 wxPropertyGrid is used in with wxAUI or similar system.
182 @remarks If you are not in fact using any system that may change
183 wxPropertyGrid's top-level parent window on its own, then you
184 are recommended to enable this style.

236 Display a text message explaining the situation.
238 To customize the way the message is displayed, you need to
239 reimplement wxPropertyGrid::DoShowPropertyError() in a
240 derived class. Default behavior is to display the text on
241 the top-level frame's status bar, if present, and otherwise
244 wxPG_VFB_SHOW_MESSAGE

247 Similar to wxPG_VFB_SHOW_MESSAGE, except always displays the
248 message using wxMessageBox.
250 wxPG_VFB_SHOW_MESSAGEBOX

358 @class wxPropertyGrid
360 wxPropertyGrid is a specialized grid for editing properties - in other
361 words name = value pairs. List of ready-to-use property classes include
362 strings, numbers, flag sets, fonts, colours and many others. It is possible,
363 for example, to categorize properties, set up a complete tree-hierarchy,
364 add more than two columns, and set arbitrary per-property attributes.
366 Please note that most member functions are inherited and as such not
367 documented on this page. This means you will probably also want to read
368 wxPropertyGridInterface class reference.

374 See @ref propgrid_window_styles.
376 @section propgrid_event_handling Event Handling
378 To process input from a property grid control, use these event handler macros
379 to direct input to member functions that take a wxPropertyGridEvent argument.
381 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxPropertyGridEvent}
382 @event{EVT_PG_SELECTED (id, func)}
383 Respond to wxEVT_PG_SELECTED event, generated when a property selection
384 has been changed, either by user action or by indirect program
385 function. For instance, collapsing a parent property programmatically
386 causes any selected child property to become unselected, and may
387 therefore cause this event to be generated.
388 @event{EVT_PG_CHANGED(id, func)}
389 Respond to wxEVT_PG_CHANGED event, generated when property value
390 has been changed by the user.
391 @event{EVT_PG_CHANGING(id, func)}
392 Respond to wxEVT_PG_CHANGING event, generated when property value
393 is about to be changed by user. Use wxPropertyGridEvent::GetValue()
394 to take a peek at the pending value, and wxPropertyGridEvent::Veto()
395 to prevent change from taking place, if necessary.
396 @event{EVT_PG_HIGHLIGHTED(id, func)}
397 Respond to wxEVT_PG_HIGHLIGHTED event, which occurs when mouse
398 moves over a property. Event's property is NULL if hovered area does
399 not belong to any property.
400 @event{EVT_PG_RIGHT_CLICK(id, func)}
401 Respond to wxEVT_PG_RIGHT_CLICK event, which occurs when property is
402 clicked on with right mouse button.
403 @event{EVT_PG_DOUBLE_CLICK(id, func)}
404 Respond to wxEVT_PG_DOUBLE_CLICK event, which occurs when property is
405 double-clicked on with left mouse button.
406 @event{EVT_PG_ITEM_COLLAPSED(id, func)}
407 Respond to wxEVT_PG_ITEM_COLLAPSED event, generated when user collapses
408 a property or category.
409 @event{EVT_PG_ITEM_EXPANDED(id, func)}
410 Respond to wxEVT_PG_ITEM_EXPANDED event, generated when user expands
411 a property or category.
412 @event{EVT_PG_LABEL_EDIT_BEGIN(id, func)}
413 Respond to wxEVT_PG_LABEL_EDIT_BEGIN event, generated when user is
414 about to begin editing a property label. You can veto this event to
416 @event{EVT_PG_LABEL_EDIT_ENDING(id, func)}
417 Respond to wxEVT_PG_LABEL_EDIT_ENDING event, generated when user is
418 about to end editing of a property label. You can veto this event to
420 @event{EVT_PG_COL_BEGIN_DRAG(id, func)}
421 Respond to wxEVT_PG_COL_BEGIN_DRAG event, generated when user
422 starts resizing a column - can be vetoed.
423 @event{EVT_PG_COL_DRAGGING,(id, func)}
424 Respond to wxEVT_PG_COL_DRAGGING, event, generated when a
425 column resize by user is in progress. This event is also generated
426 when user double-clicks the splitter in order to recenter
428 @event{EVT_PG_COL_END_DRAG(id, func)}
429 Respond to wxEVT_PG_COL_END_DRAG event, generated after column
430 resize by user has finished.
434 Use Freeze() and Thaw() respectively to disable and enable drawing.

491 Adds given property into selection. If wxPG_EX_MULTIPLE_SELECTION
492 extra style is not used, then this has same effect as
493 calling SelectProperty().
495 @remarks Multiple selection is not supported for categories. This
496 means that if you have properties selected, you cannot
497 add category to selection, and also if you have category

958 Sets default cell text colour - applies to property name and value text.
959 Note that appearance of editor widgets may not be affected.
961 void SetCellTextColour(const wxColour

964 Set number of columns (2 or more).
966 void SetColumnCount( int colCount
);
969 Sets the 'current' category - Append will add non-category properties
972 void SetCurrentCategory( wxPGPropArg id
);
975 Sets colour of empty space below properties.
977 void SetEmptySpaceColour(const wxColour
& col

1007 Sets the property sorting function.
1010 The sorting function to be used. It should return a value greater
1011 than 0 if position of p1 is after p2. So, for instance, when
1012 comparing property names, you can use following implementation:
1015 int MyPropertySortFunction(wxPropertyGrid* propGrid,
1019 return p1->GetBaseName().compare( p2->GetBaseName() );
1024 Default property sort function sorts properties by their labels
1025 (case-insensitively).
1027 @see GetSortFunction, wxPropertyGridInterface::Sort,
1028 wxPropertyGridInterface::SortChildren
1030 void SetSortFunction( wxPGSortCallback sortFunction
);
1033 Sets x coordinate of the splitter.
1035 @remarks Splitter position cannot exceed grid size, and therefore setting
1036 it during form creation may fail as initial grid size is often
1037 smaller than desired splitter position, especially when sizers
1040 void SetSplitterPosition( int newxpos
, int col
= 0 );
1043 Moves splitter as left as possible, while still allowing all
1044 labels to be shown in full.
1046 @param privateChildrenToo
1047 If @false, will still allow private children to be cropped.
1049 void SetSplitterLeft( bool privateChildrenToo
= false );
1052 Sets appearance of value cells representing an unspecified property
1053 value. Default appearance is blank.
1055 @remarks If you set the unspecified value to have any
1056 textual representation, then that will override
1057 "InlineHelp" attribute.
1059 @see wxPGProperty::SetValueToUnspecified(),
1060 wxPGProperty::IsValueUnspecified()
1062 void SetUnspecifiedValueAppearance( const wxPGCell
& cell
);
1065 Sets vertical spacing. Can be 1, 2, or 3 - a value relative to font
1066 height. Value of 2 should be default on most platforms.
1068 void SetVerticalSpacing( int vspacing
);
1071 @name wxPropertyGrid customization
1073 Reimplement these member functions in derived class for better
1074 control over wxPropertyGrid behavior.
1079 Override in derived class to display error messages in custom manner
1080 (these message usually only result from validation failure).
1082 @remarks If you implement this, then you also need to implement
1083 DoHidePropertyError() - possibly to do nothing, if error
1084 does not need hiding (e.g. it was logged or shown in a
1087 @see DoHidePropertyError()
1089 virtual void DoShowPropertyError( wxPGProperty

1101 Return wxStatusBar that is used by this wxPropertyGrid. You can
1102 reimplement this member function in derived class to override
1103 the default behavior of using the top-level wxFrame's status
1106 virtual wxStatusBar
* GetStatusBar();
1111 @name Property development functions
1113 These member functions are usually only called when creating custom
1119 Call when editor widget's contents is modified. For example, this is
1120 called when changes text in wxTextCtrl (used in wxStringProperty and
1123 @remarks This function should only be called by custom properties.
1125 @see wxPGProperty::OnEvent()
1127 void EditorsValueWasModified();
1130 Reverse of EditorsValueWasModified().
1132 @remarks This function should only be called by custom properties.
1134 void EditorsValueWasNotModified();
1137 Returns most up-to-date value of selected property. This will return
1138 value different from GetSelectedProperty()->GetValue() only when text
1139 editor is activate and string edited by user represents valid,
1140 uncommitted property value.
1142 wxVariant
GetUncommittedPropertyValue();
1145 Returns true if editor's value was marked modified.

1155 You can use this member function, for instance, to detect in
1156 wxPGProperty::OnEvent() if wxPGProperty::SetValueInEvent() was
1157 already called in wxPGEditor::OnEvent(). It really only detects
1158 if was value was changed using wxPGProperty::SetValueInEvent(), which
1159 is usually used when a 'picker' dialog is displayed. If value was
1160 written by "normal means" in wxPGProperty::StringToValue() or
1161 IntToValue(), then this function will return false (on the other hand,
1162 wxPGProperty::OnEvent() is not even called in those cases).
1164 bool WasValueChangedInEvent() const;
1171 @class wxPropertyGridEvent
1173 A property grid event holds information about events associated with

1193 Returns true if you can veto the action that the event is signaling.
1195 bool CanVeto() const;
1198 Returns the column index associated with this event.
1199 For the column dragging events, it is the column to the left
1200 of the splitter being dragged
1202 unsigned int GetColumn() const;
1205 Returns highest level non-category, non-root parent of property for
1206 which event occurred. Useful when you have nested properties with

1215 Returns property associated with this event.
1217 @remarks You should assume that this property can always be NULL.
1218 For instance, wxEVT_PG_SELECTED is emitted not only when
1219 a new property is selected, but also when selection is
1220 cleared by user activity.
1222 wxPGProperty
* GetProperty() const;
1225 Returns current validation failure flags.
1227 wxPGVFBFlags
GetValidationFailureBehavior() const;
1230 Returns name of the associated property.
1232 @remarks Property name is stored in event, so it remains
1233 accessible even after the associated property or
1234 the property grid has been deleted.
1236 wxString
GetPropertyName() const;
1239 Returns value of the associated property. Works for all event
1240 types, but for wxEVT_PG_CHANGING this member function returns
1241 the value that is pending, so you can call Veto() if the
1242 value is not satisfactory.
