Detailed Description

wxPropertyGrid is a specialized two-column grid for editing properties such as strings, numbers, flagsets, fonts, and colours.

wxPropertySheet used to do the very same thing, but it hasn't been updated for a while and it is currently deprecated.

wxPropertyGrid is modeled after .NET propertygrid (hence the name), and thus features are similar. However, inorder to keep the widget lightweight, it does not (and will not) have toolbar for mode and page selection, nor the help text box. wxAdvancedPropertyGrid (or something similarly named) is planned to have these features in some distant future.

Derived from

wxPropertyContainerMethods
wxScrolledWindow
wxPanel

Event handling

To process input from a propertygrid control, use these event handler macros to direct input to member functions that take a wxPropertyGridEvent argument.

EVT_PG_SELECTED (id, func)Property is selected.
EVT_PG_CHANGED (id, func)Property value is modified.
EVT_PG_HIGHLIGHTED (id, func)Mouse moves over property. Event's property is NULL if hovered on area that is not a property.
EVT_PG_RIGHT_CLICK (id, func)Mouse right-clicked on a property.
EVT_PG_DOUBLE_CLICK (id, func)Mouse double-clicked on a property.
EVT_PG_ITEM_COLLAPSED (id, func)User collapses a property or category.
EVT_PG_ITEM_EXPANDED (id, func)User expands a property or category.
EVT_BUTTON (id, func)Button in a property editor was clicked. Only occurs if the property doesn't handle button clicks itself.
EVT_TEXT (id, func)wxTextCtrl based editor was updated (but property value was not yet modified)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxPropertyGrid::wxPropertyGrid (  ) 

Two step constructor.

Call Create when this constructor is called to build up the wxPropertyGrid

wxPropertyGrid::wxPropertyGrid ( wxWindow *  parent,
wxWindowID  id = wxID_ANY,
const wxPoint &  pos = wxDefaultPosition,
const wxSize &  size = wxDefaultSize,
long  style = (0),
const wxChar *  name = wxPropertyGridNameStr 
)

The default constructor.

The styles to be used are styles valid for the wxWindow and wxScrolledWindow.

virtual wxPropertyGrid::~wxPropertyGrid (  )  [virtual]

Destructor.


Member Function Documentation

void wxPropertyContainerMethods::AddPropertyChoice ( wxPGId  id,
const wxString &  label,
int  value = INT_MAX 
) [inherited]

Adds choice to a property that can accept one.

Remarks:
  • If you need to make sure that you modify only the set of choices of a single property (and not also choices of other properties with initially identical set), call wxPropertyGrid::SetPropertyChoicesPrivate.
  • This usually only works for wxEnumProperty and derivatives (wxFlagsProperty can get accept new items but its items may not get updated).

wxPGId wxPropertyGrid::Append ( wxPGProperty property  ) 

Appends property to the list.

wxPropertyGrid assumes ownership of the object. Becomes child of most recently added category.

Remarks:
  • wxPropertyGrid takes the ownership of the property pointer.
  • If appending a category with name identical to a category already in the wxPropertyGrid, then newly created category is deleted, and most recently added category (under which properties are appended) is set to the one with same name. This allows easier adding of items to same categories in multiple passes.
  • Does not automatically redraw the control, so you may need to call Refresh when calling this function after control has been shown for the first time.

static void wxPropertyGrid::ArrayStringToString ( wxString &  dst,
const wxArrayString &  src,
wxChar  preDelim,
wxChar  postDelim,
int  flags 
) [static]

Generates contents for string dst based on the convetents of wxArrayString src.

Format will be <preDelim>str1<postDelim> <preDelim>str2<postDelim> and so on. Set flags to 1 inorder to convert backslashes to double-back- slashes and "<preDelims>"'s to "\<preDelims>".

static void wxPropertyGrid::AutoGetTranslation ( bool  enable  )  [static]

This static function enables or disables automatic use of wxGetTranslation for following strings: wxEnumProperty list labels, wxFlagsProperty sub-property labels.

Default is false.

void wxPropertyContainerMethods::BeginAddChildren ( wxPGId  id  )  [inherited]

Inorder to add new items into a property with fixed children (for instance, wxFlagsProperty), you need to call this method.

After populating has been finished, you need to call EndAddChildren.

bool wxPropertyGrid::CanClose (  )  [inline]

Returns true if all property grid data changes have been committed.

Usually only returns false if value in active editor has been invalidated by a wxValidator.

void wxPropertyGrid::CenterSplitter ( bool  enable_auto_centering = false  ) 

Centers the splitter.

If argument is true, automatic splitter centering is enabled (only applicapple if style wxPG_SPLITTER_AUTO_CENTER was defined).

void wxPropertyGrid::Clear (  ) 

Deletes all properties.

Does not free memory allocated for arrays etc. This should *not* be called in wxPropertyGridManager.

void wxPropertyGrid::ClearModifiedStatus (  )  [inline]

Resets modified status of all properties.

void wxPropertyGrid::ClearModifiedStatus ( wxPGId  id  )  [inline]

Resets modified status of a property and all sub-properties.

bool wxPropertyGrid::ClearPropertyValue ( const wxString &  name  )  [inline]

Resets value of a property to its default.

bool wxPropertyGrid::ClearPropertyValue ( wxPGId  id  ) 

Resets value of a property to its default.

bool wxPropertyGrid::ClearSelection (  ) 

Deselect current selection, if any.

Returns true if success (ie. validator did not intercept).

void wxPropertyGrid::ClearTargetPage (  )  [inline]

Synonymous to Clear.

bool wxPropertyGrid::Collapse ( const wxString &  name  )  [inline]

Collapses given category or property with children.

Returns true if actually collapses.

bool wxPropertyGrid::Collapse ( wxPGId  id  )  [inline]

Collapses given category or property with children.

Returns true if actually collapses.

bool wxPropertyGrid::CollapseAll (  )  [inline]

Collapses all items that can be collapsed.

Return values:
Return false if failed (may fail if editor value cannot be validated).

bool wxPropertyGrid::Compact ( bool  compact  ) 

Shows(arg = false) or hides(arg = true) all hideable properties.

bool wxPropertyGrid::Create ( wxWindow *  parent,
wxWindowID  id = wxID_ANY,
const wxPoint &  pos = wxDefaultPosition,
const wxSize &  size = wxDefaultSize,
long  style = (0),
const wxChar *  name = wxPropertyGridNameStr 
)

Two step creation.

Whenever the control is created without any parameters, use Create to actually create it. Don't access the control's public methods before this is called

int  value 
) [inline]

wxPGId wxPropertyGrid::Insert ( const wxString &  name,
int  index,
wxPGProperty newproperty 
) [inline]

Insert

wxPGId wxPropertyGrid::Insert ( wxPGId  priorthis,
wxPGProperty newproperty 
) [inline]

Inserts property to the list.

Parameters:
priorthis New property is inserted just prior to this. Available only in the first variant. There are two versions of this function to allow this parameter to be either an id or name to a property.
parent New property is inserted under this category. Available only in the second variant. There are two versions of this function to allow this parameter to be either an id or name to a property.
index Index under category. Available only in the second variant. If index is < 0, property is appended in category.
newproperty Pointer to the inserted property. wxPropertyGrid will take ownership of this object.
Returns:
Returns id for the property,
Remarks:

While Append may be faster way to add items, make note that when both data storages (categoric and non-categoric) are active, Insert becomes even more slow. This is especially true if current mode is non-categoric.

Example of use:

            // append category
            wxPGId my_cat_id = propertygrid->Append( new wxPropertyCategoryClass (wxT("My Category")) );

            ...

            // insert into category - using second variant
            wxPGId my_item_id_1 = propertygrid->Insert( my_cat_id, 0, new wxStringProperty(wxT("My String 1")) );

            // insert before to first item - using first variant
            wxPGId my_item_id_2 = propertygrid->Insert ( my_item_id, new wxStringProperty(wxT("My String 2")) );
