.. class:: wx.propgrid.PropertyCategory(PGProperty)

   **Possible constructors**::

       PropertyCategory()
       
       PropertyCategory(label, name=PG_LABEL)
       
   
   Category (caption) property.



   .. method:: __init__(self, *args, **kw)



      |overload| Overloaded Implementations:

      **~~~**

      
      **__init__** `(self)`
      
      Default constructor is only used in special cases.                   
      
      
      
      
      **~~~**

      
      **__init__** `(self, label, name=PG_LABEL)`
      
      
      
      
      :param `label`: 
      :type `label`: string
      :param `name`: 
      :type `name`: string

   .. method:: GetTextExtent(self, wnd, font)




      :param `wnd`: 
      :type `wnd`: wx.Window
      :param `font`: 
      :type `font`: wx.Font




      :rtype: `int`








   .. method:: GetValueAsString(self, argFlags=0)

      Returns text representation of property's value.                  




      :param `argFlags`: If 0 (default value), then displayed string is returned. If ``wx.propgrid.PG_FULL_VALUE`` is set, returns complete, storable string value instead of displayable. If ``wx.propgrid.PG_EDITABLE_VALUE`` is set, returns string value that must be editable in textctrl. If ``wx.propgrid.PG_COMPOSITE_FRAGMENT`` is set, returns text that is appropriate to display as a part of string property's composite text representation.  
      :type `argFlags`: int






      :rtype: `string`



                  



      .. note:: 

         In older versions, this function used to be overridden to convert property's value into a string representation. This function is now handled by :meth:`ValueToString` , and overriding this function now will result in run-time assertion failure.   








   .. method:: ValueToString(self, value, argFlags)

      Converts property value into a text representation.                  




      :param `value`: Value to be converted.   
      :type `value`: PGVariant
      :param `argFlags`: If 0 (default value), then displayed string is returned. If ``wx.propgrid.PG_FULL_VALUE`` is set, returns complete, storable string value instead of displayable. If ``wx.propgrid.PG_EDITABLE_VALUE`` is set, returns string value that must be editable in textctrl. If ``wx.propgrid.PG_COMPOSITE_FRAGMENT`` is set, returns text that is appropriate to display as a part of string property's composite text representation.  
      :type `argFlags`: int








      :rtype: `string`



                  



      .. note:: 

         Default implementation calls :meth:`~wx.propgrid.PGProperty.GenerateComposedValue` .
