300 wxPropertyGrid is a specialized grid for editing properties - in other
301 words name = value pairs. List of ready-to-use property classes include
302 strings, numbers, flag sets, fonts, colours and many others. It is possible,
303 for example, to categorize properties, set up a complete tree-hierarchy,
304 add more than two columns, and set arbitrary per-property attributes.
305
306 Please note that most member functions are inherited and as such not
307 documented on this page. This means you will probably also want to read
308 wxPropertyGridInterface class reference.

317
318 To process input from a property grid control, use these event handler macros
319 to direct input to member functions that take a wxPropertyGridEvent argument.
320
321 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxPropertyGridEvent}
322 @event{EVT_PG_SELECTED (id, func)}
323 Respond to wxEVT_PG_SELECTED event, generated when property value
324 has been changed by user.
325 @event{EVT_PG_CHANGING(id, func)}
326 Respond to wxEVT_PG_CHANGING event, generated when property value
327 is about to be changed by user. Use wxPropertyGridEvent::GetValue()
328 to take a peek at the pending value, and wxPropertyGridEvent::Veto()
329 to prevent change from taking place, if necessary.
330 @event{EVT_PG_HIGHLIGHTED(id, func)}
331 Respond to wxEVT_PG_HIGHLIGHTED event, which occurs when mouse
332 moves over a property. Event's property is NULL if hovered area does
333 not belong to any property.
334 @event{EVT_PG_RIGHT_CLICK(id, func)}
335 Respond to wxEVT_PG_RIGHT_CLICK event, which occurs when property is
336 clicked on with right mouse button.
337 @event{EVT_PG_DOUBLE_CLICK(id, func)}
338 Respond to wxEVT_PG_DOUBLE_CLICK event, which occurs when property is
339 double-clicked on with left mouse button.
340 @event{EVT_PG_ITEM_COLLAPSED(id, func)}
341 Respond to wxEVT_PG_ITEM_COLLAPSED event, generated when user collapses
342 a property or category.
343 @event{EVT_PG_ITEM_EXPANDED(id, func)}
344 Respond to wxEVT_PG_ITEM_EXPANDED event, generated when user expands
345 a property or category.

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