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.

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.

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

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

468 Adds given property into selection. If wxPG_EX_MULTIPLE_SELECTION
469 extra style is not used, then this has same effect as
470 calling SelectProperty().
472 @remarks Multiple selection is not supported for categories. This
473 means that if you have properties selected, you cannot
474 add category to selection, and also if you have category
475 selected, you cannot add other properties to selection.

& col
);
924 Sets default cell background colour - applies to property cells.
925 Note that appearance of editor widgets may not be affected.
927 void SetCellBackgroundColour(const wxColour
& col
);
930 Sets cell text colour for disabled properties.
932 void SetCellDisabledTextColour(const wxColour
& col
);
935 Sets default cell text colour - applies to property name and value text.
936 Note that appearance of editor widgets may not be affected.
938 void SetCellTextColour(const wxColour
& col
);
941 Set number of columns (2 or more).
943 void SetColumnCount( int colCount
);
946 Sets the 'current' category - Append will add non-category properties
949 void SetCurrentCategory( wxPGPropArg id
);
952 Sets colour of empty space below properties.
954 void SetEmptySpaceColour(const wxColour
& col
);
957 Sets colour of lines between cells.
959 void SetLineColour(const wxColour
& col
);
962 Sets background colour of margin.
964 void SetMarginColour(const wxColour
& col
);
967 Set entire new selection from given list of properties.
969 void SetSelection( const wxArrayPGProperty
& newSelection
);
972 Sets selection background colour - applies to selected property name
975 void SetSelectionBackgroundColour(const wxColour
& col
);
978 Sets selection foreground colour - applies to selected property name text.
980 void SetSelectionTextColour(const wxColour
& col
);
984 Sets the property sorting function.
987 The sorting function to be used. It should return a value greater
988 than 0 if position of p1 is after p2. So, for instance, when
989 comparing property names, you can use following implementation:
992 int MyPropertySortFunction(wxPropertyGrid* propGrid,
996 return p1->GetBaseName().compare( p2->GetBaseName() );
1001 Default property sort function sorts properties by their labels
1002 (case-insensitively).
1004 @see GetSortFunction, wxPropertyGridInterface::Sort,
1005 wxPropertyGridInterface::SortChildren
1007 void SetSortFunction( wxPGSortCallback sortFunction
);
1010 Sets x coordinate of the splitter.
1012 @remarks Splitter position cannot exceed grid size, and therefore setting
1013 it during form creation may fail as initial grid size is often
1014 smaller than desired splitter position, especially when sizers
1017 void SetSplitterPosition( int newxpos
, int col
= 0 );
1020 Moves splitter as left as possible, while still allowing all
1021 labels to be shown in full.
1023 @param privateChildrenToo
1024 If @false, will still allow private children to be cropped.
1026 void SetSplitterLeft( bool privateChildrenToo
= false );
1029 Sets appearance of value cells representing an unspecified property
1030 value. Default appearance is blank.
1032 @remarks If you set the unspecified value to have any
1033 textual representation, then that will override
1034 "InlineHelp" attribute.
1036 @see wxPGProperty::SetValueToUnspecified(),
1037 wxPGProperty::IsValueUnspecified()
1039 void SetUnspecifiedValueAppearance( const wxPGCell
& cell
);
1042 Sets vertical spacing. Can be 1, 2, or 3 - a value relative to font
1043 height. Value of 2 should be default on most platforms.
1045 void SetVerticalSpacing( int vspacing
);
1049 @name Property development functions
1051 These member functions are usually only called when creating custom
1057 Call when editor widget's contents is modified. For example, this is
1058 called when changes text in wxTextCtrl (used in wxStringProperty and
1061 @remarks This function should only be called by custom properties.
1063 @see wxPGProperty::OnEvent()
1065 void EditorsValueWasModified();
1068 Reverse of EditorsValueWasModified().
1070 @remarks This function should only be called by custom properties.
1072 void EditorsValueWasNotModified();
1075 Returns most up-to-date value of selected property. This will return
1076 value different from GetSelectedProperty()->GetValue() only when text
1077 editor is activate and string edited by user represents valid,
1078 uncommitted property value.
1080 wxVariant
GetUncommittedPropertyValue();
1083 Returns true if editor's value was marked modified.
1085 bool IsEditorsValueModified() const;
1088 Shows an brief error message that is related to a property.
1090 void ShowPropertyError( wxPGPropArg id
, const wxString
& msg
);
1093 You can use this member function, for instance, to detect in
1094 wxPGProperty::OnEvent() if wxPGProperty::SetValueInEvent() was
1095 already called in wxPGEditor::OnEvent(). It really only detects
1096 if was value was changed using wxPGProperty::SetValueInEvent(), which
1097 is usually used when a 'picker' dialog is displayed. If value was
1098 written by "normal means" in wxPGProperty::StringToValue() or
1099 IntToValue(), then this function will return false (on the other hand,
1100 wxPGProperty::OnEvent() is not even called in those cases).
1102 bool WasValueChangedInEvent() const;
1109 @class wxPropertyGridEvent
1111 A property grid event holds information about events associated with

1131 Returns true if you can veto the action that the event is signaling.
1133 bool CanVeto() const;
1136 Returns the column index associated with this event.
1137 For the column dragging events, it is the column to the left
1138 of the splitter being dragged
1140 unsigned int GetColumn() const;
1143 Returns highest level non-category, non-root parent of property for
1144 which event occurred. Useful when you have nested properties with

* GetMainParent() const;
1153 Returns property associated with this event.
1155 @remarks You should assume that this property can always be NULL.
1156 For instance, wxEVT_PG_SELECTED is emitted not only when
1157 a new property is selected, but also when selection is
1158 cleared by user activity.
1160 wxPGProperty
* GetProperty() const;
1163 Returns current validation failure flags.
1165 wxPGVFBFlags
GetValidationFailureBehavior() const;
1168 Returns name of the associated property.
1170 @remarks Property name is stored in event, so it remains
1171 accessible even after the associated property or
1172 the property grid has been deleted.
1174 wxString
GetPropertyName() const;
1177 Returns value of the associated property. Works for all event
1178 types, but for wxEVT_PG_CHANGING this member function returns
1179 the value that is pending, so you can call Veto() if the
1180 value is not satisfactory.

1202 Set override validation failure behavior. Only effective if Veto() was
1203 also called, and only allowed if event type is wxEVT_PG_CHANGING.
1205 void SetValidationFailureBehavior( wxPGVFBFlags flags
);
1208 Sets custom failure message for this time only. Only applies if
1209 wxPG_VFB_SHOW_MESSAGE is set in validation failure flags.
1211 void SetValidationFailureMessage( const wxString

1214 Call this from your event handler to veto action that the event is
1215 signaling. You can only veto a shutdown if wxPropertyGridEvent::CanVeto()
