13 SetWindowStyleFlag method can be used to modify some of these at run-time.

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

100 enum wxPG_EX_WINDOW_STYLES
104 NOTE: wxPG_EX_xxx are extra window styles and must be set using SetExtraStyle()
107 Speeds up switching to wxPG_HIDE_CATEGORIES mode. Initially, if
108 wxPG_HIDE_CATEGORIES is not defined, the non-categorized data storage is not
109 activated, and switching the mode first time becomes somewhat slower.
110 wxPG_EX_INIT_NOCAT activates the non-categorized data storage right away.
112 NOTE: If you do plan not switching to non-categoric mode, or if
113 you don't plan to use categories at all, then using this style will result
114 in waste of resources.
116 wxPG_EX_INIT_NOCAT
= 0x00001000,
119 Extended window style that sets wxPropertyGridManager tool bar to not
122 wxPG_EX_NO_FLAT_TOOLBAR

125 Shows alphabetic/categoric mode buttons from tool bar.
127 wxPG_EX_MODE_BUTTONS
= 0x00008000,
130 Show property help strings as tool tips instead as text on the status bar.
131 You can set the help strings using SetPropertyHelpString member function.
133 wxPG_EX_HELP_AS_TOOLTIPS
= 0x00010000,
136 Allows relying on native double-buffering.
138 wxPG_EX_NATIVE_DOUBLE_BUFFERING
= 0x00080000,
141 Set this style to let user have ability to set values of properties to
142 unspecified state. Same as setting wxPG_PROP_AUTO_UNSPECIFIED for
145 wxPG_EX_AUTO_UNSPECIFIED_VALUES
= 0x00200000,
148 If this style is used, built-in attributes (such as wxPG_FLOAT_PRECISION and
149 wxPG_STRING_PASSWORD) are not stored into property's attribute storage (thus
150 they are not readable).
152 Note that this option is global, and applies to all wxPG property containers.
154 wxPG_EX_WRITEONLY_BUILTIN_ATTRIBUTES
= 0x00400000,
157 Hides page selection buttons from tool bar.

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

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

354 @section propgrid_event_handling Event Handling
356 To process input from a property grid control, use these event handler macros
357 to direct input to member functions that take a wxPropertyGridEvent argument.
359 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxPropertyGridEvent}
360 @event{EVT_PG_SELECTED (id, func)}
361 Respond to wxEVT_PG_SELECTED event, generated when a property selection
362 has been changed, either by user action or by indirect program
363 function. For instance, collapsing a parent property programmatically
364 causes any selected child property to become unselected, and may
365 therefore cause this event to be generated.
366 @event{EVT_PG_CHANGING(id, func)}
367 Respond to wxEVT_PG_CHANGING event, generated when property value
368 is about to be changed by user. Use wxPropertyGridEvent::GetValue()
369 to take a peek at the pending value, and wxPropertyGridEvent::Veto()
370 to prevent change from taking place, if necessary.
371 @event{EVT_PG_HIGHLIGHTED(id, func)}
372 Respond to wxEVT_PG_HIGHLIGHTED event, which occurs when mouse
373 moves over a property. Event's property is NULL if hovered area does
374 not belong to any property.
375 @event{EVT_PG_RIGHT_CLICK(id, func)}
376 Respond to wxEVT_PG_RIGHT_CLICK event, which occurs when property is
377 clicked on with right mouse button.
378 @event{EVT_PG_DOUBLE_CLICK(id, func)}
379 Respond to wxEVT_PG_DOUBLE_CLICK event, which occurs when property is
380 double-clicked on with left mouse button.
381 @event{EVT_PG_ITEM_COLLAPSED(id, func)}
382 Respond to wxEVT_PG_ITEM_COLLAPSED event, generated when user collapses
383 a property or category.
384 @event{EVT_PG_ITEM_EXPANDED(id, func)}
385 Respond to wxEVT_PG_ITEM_EXPANDED event, generated when user expands
386 a property or category.
387 @event{EVT_PG_LABEL_EDIT_BEGIN(id, func)}
388 Respond to wxEVT_PG_LABEL_EDIT_BEGIN event, generated when is about to
389 begin editing a property label. You can veto this event to prevent the
391 @event{EVT_PG_LABEL_EDIT_ENDING(id, func)}
392 Respond to wxEVT_PG_LABEL_EDIT_ENDING event, generated when is about to
393 end editing of a property label. You can veto this event to prevent the

445 extra style is not used, then this has same effect as
446 calling SelectProperty().
448 @remarks Multiple selection is not supported for categories. This
449 means that if you have properties selected, you cannot

948 @remarks Splitter position cannot exceed grid size, and therefore setting
949 it during form creation may fail as initial grid size is often
950 smaller than desired splitter position, especially when sizers

972 @name Property development functions
974 These member functions are usually only called when creating custom

981 called when changes text in wxTextCtrl (used in wxStringProperty and
984 @remarks This function should only be called by custom properties.
986 @see wxPGProperty::OnEvent()
988 void EditorsValueWasModified();
991 Reverse of EditorsValueWasModified().
993 @remarks This function should only be called by custom properties.
995 void EditorsValueWasNotModified();
998 Returns most up-to-date value of selected property. This will return
999 value different from GetSelectedProperty()->GetValue() only when text
1000 editor is activate and string edited by user represents valid,
1001 uncommitted property value.
1003 wxVariant
GetUncommittedPropertyValue();
1006 Returns true if editor's value was marked modified.
1008 bool IsEditorsValueModified() const;
1011 Shows an brief error message that is related to a property.
1013 void ShowPropertyError( wxPGPropArg id

1016 You can use this member function, for instance, to detect in
1017 wxPGProperty::OnEvent() if wxPGProperty::SetValueInEvent() was
1018 already called in wxPGEditor::OnEvent(). It really only detects
1019 if was value was changed using wxPGProperty::SetValueInEvent(), which
1020 is usually used when a 'picker' dialog is displayed. If value was
1021 written by "normal means" in wxPGProperty::StringToValue() or
1022 IntToValue(), then this function will return false (on the other hand,
1023 wxPGProperty::OnEvent() is not even called in those cases).

1032 @class wxPropertyGridEvent
1034 A property grid event holds information about events associated with
1035 wxPropertyGrid objects.

1051 ~wxPropertyGridEvent();
1054 Returns true if you can veto the action that the event is signaling.
1056 bool CanVeto() const;
1059 Returns highest level non-category, non-root parent of property for
1060 which event occurred. Useful when you have nested properties with

1074 Returns current validation failure flags.
1076 wxPGVFBFlags
GetValidationFailureBehavior() const;
1079 Returns name of the associated property.
1081 @remarks Property name is stored in event, so it remains
1082 accessible even after the associated property or
1083 the property grid has been deleted.
1085 wxString
GetPropertyName() const;
1088 Returns value of the associated property. Works for all event
1089 types, but for wxEVT_PG_CHANGING this member function returns
1090 the value that is pending, so you can call Veto() if the
1091 value is not satisfactory.

1113 Set override validation failure behavior. Only effective if Veto() was
1114 also called, and only allowed if event type is wxEVT_PG_CHANGING.
1116 void SetValidationFailureBehavior( wxPGVFBFlags flags

1119 Sets custom failure message for this time only. Only applies if
1120 wxPG_VFB_SHOW_MESSAGE is set in validation failure flags.
1122 void SetValidationFailureMessage( const wxString

);
1125 Call this from your event handler to veto action that the event is
1126 signaling. You can only veto a shutdown if wxPropertyGridEvent::CanVeto()
1129 @remarks Currently only wxEVT_PG_CHANGING supports vetoing.
