phoenix_title wx.propgrid.PropertyGridInterface

Most of the shared property manipulation interface shared by wx.propgrid.PropertyGrid, wx.propgrid.PropertyGridPage, and wx.propgrid.PropertyGridManager is defined in this class.

Note

  • In separate wx.propgrid.PropertyGrid component this class was known as PropertyContainerMethods.
  • wx.propgrid.PropertyGridInterface‘s property operation member functions all accept a special PGPropArg id argument, using which you can refer to properties either by their pointer (for performance) or by their name (for conveniency).

class wx.propgrid.PropertyGridInterface(object)

Most of the shared property manipulation interface shared by PropertyGrid, PropertyGridPage, and PropertyGridManager is defined in this class.


Methods



Append(self, property)

Appends property to the list.

wx.propgrid.PropertyGrid assumes ownership of the object. Becomes child of most recently added category.

Parameters:property (wx.propgrid.PGProperty) –
Return type: wx.propgrid.PGProperty

Note

  • wx.propgrid.PropertyGrid takes the ownership of the property pointer.
  • If appending a category with name identical to a category already in the wx.propgrid.PropertyGrid, 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.
  • This functions deselects selected property, if any. Validation failure option wx.propgrid.PG_VFB_STAY_IN_PROPERTY is not respected, ie. selection is cleared even if editor had invalid value.


AppendIn(self, id, newProperty)

Same as Append , but appends under given parent property.

Parameters:
Return type:

wx.propgrid.PGProperty



AutoFill(self, obj, parent=None)

“Clears properties and re-fills to match members and values of the given object or dictionary obj.



BeginAddChildren(self, id)

In order to add new items into a property with private children (for instance, wx.propgrid.FlagsProperty), you need to call this method.

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

Parameters:id (wx.propgrid.PGPropArgCls) –

See also

EndAddChildren



ChangePropertyValue(self, id, newValue)

Changes value of a property, as if by user.

Use this instead of SetPropertyValue if you need the value to run through validation process, and also send the property change event.

Parameters:
Return type:

bool

Returns:

Returns True if value was successfully changed.



Clear(self)

Deletes all properties.

Note

This functions deselects selected property, if any. Validation failure option wx.propgrid.PG_VFB_STAY_IN_PROPERTY is not respected, ie. selection is cleared even if editor had invalid value.



ClearModifiedStatus(self)

Resets modified status of all properties.



ClearSelection(self, validation=False)

Todo

docme

Parameters:
  • id (wx.propgrid.PGPropArgCls) –
  • hide (bool) – If True, hides property, otherwise reveals it.
  • flags (int) – By default changes are applied recursively. Set this parameter wx.propgrid.PG_DONT_RECURSE to prevent this.
Return type:

bool



static InitAllTypeHandlers()

Initializes all property types.

Causes references to most object files in the library, so calling this may cause significant increase in executable size when linking with static library.



Insert(self, *args, **kw)

overload Overloaded Implementations:



Insert (self, priorThis, newProperty)

Inserts property to the property container.

Parameters:
  • priorThis (wx.propgrid.PGPropArgCls) – 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.
  • newProperty (wx.propgrid.PGProperty) – Pointer to the inserted property. wx.propgrid.PropertyGrid will take ownership of this object.
Return type:

wx.propgrid.PGProperty

  • wx.propgrid.PropertyGrid takes the ownership of the property pointer.
  • While Append may be faster way to add items, make note that when both types of data storage (categoric and non-categoric) are active, Insert becomes even more slow. This is especially True if current mode is non-categoric.
  • This functions deselects selected property, if any. Validation failure option wx.propgrid.PG_VFB_STAY_IN_PROPERTY is not respected, ie. selection is cleared even if editor had invalid value.

Example of use:

# append category
my_cat_id = thePropGrid.Append(wx.propgrid.PropertyCategory("My Category"))

...

# insert into category - using second variant
my_item_id1 = thePropGrid.Insert(my_cat_id, 0, wx.propgrid.StringProperty("My String 1"))

# insert before to first item - using first variant
my_item_id2 = thePropGrid.Insert(my_item_id, wx.propgrid.StringProperty("My String 2"))
Returns:Returns newProperty.



Insert (self, parent, index, newProperty)

Inserts property to the property container.

See the other overload for more details.

Parameters:
  • parent (wx.propgrid.PGPropArgCls) – 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 (int) – Index under category. Available only in the second variant. If index is < 0, property is appended in category.
  • newProperty (wx.propgrid.PGProperty) – Pointer to the inserted property. wx.propgrid.PropertyGrid will take ownership of this object.
Return type:

wx.propgrid.PGProperty

Returns:

Returns newProperty.

Registers Python type/class to property mapping.

Parameters:factory – Property builder function/class.


static RegisterAdditionalEditors()

Initializes additional property editors (SpinCtrl etc.).

Causes references to most object files in the library, so calling this may cause significant increase in executable size when linking with static library.

  • flags (int) – Default is wx.propgrid.PG_RECURSE which causes colour to be set recursively. Omit this flag to only set colour for the property in question and not any of its children.


SetPropertyCell(self, id, column, text="", bitmap=NullBitmap, fgCol=NullColour, bgCol=NullColour)

Sets text, bitmap, and colours for given column’s cell.

Parameters:

Note

  • You can set label cell by using column 0.
  • You can use wx.propgrid.PG_LABEL as text to use default text for column.


SetPropertyClientData(self, p, data)


SetPropertyColoursToDefault(self, id)

Resets text and background colours of given property.

Parameters:id (wx.propgrid.PGPropArgCls) –


SetPropertyEditor(self, *args, **kw)

overload Overloaded Implementations:



SetPropertyEditor (self, id, editor)

Sets editor for a property.

Parameters:

For custom editors, use pointer you received from wx.propgrid.PropertyGrid.RegisterEditorClass .

Todo

docme

Parameters:



SetPropertyEditor (self, id, editorName)

Sets editor control of a property.

As editor argument, use editor name string, such as “TextCtrl” or “Choice”.

Parameters:





SetPropertyHelpString(self, id, helpString)

Associates the help string with property.

Parameters:

Note

By default, text is shown either in the manager’s “description” text box or in the status bar. If extra window style wx.propgrid.PG_EX_HELP_AS_TOOLTIPS is used, then the text will appear as a tooltip.



SetPropertyImage(self, id, bmp)

Set wx.Bitmap in front of the value.

Parameters:

Note

Bitmap will be scaled to a size returned by wx.propgrid.PropertyGrid.GetImageSize ;



SetPropertyLabel(self, id, newproplabel)

Sets label of a property.

Parameters:

Note

  • Properties under same parent may have same labels. However, property names must still remain unique.


SetPropertyMaxLength(self, id, maxLen)

Sets max length of property’s text.

Parameters:
Return type:

bool



SetPropertyName(self, id, newName)

Sets name of a property.

Parameters:
  • id (wx.propgrid.PGPropArgCls) – Name or pointer of property which name to change.
  • newName (string) – New name for property.


SetPropertyReadOnly(self, id, set=True, flags=PG_RECURSE)

Sets property (and, recursively, its children) to have read-only value.

In other words, user cannot change the value in the editor, but they can still copy it.

Parameters:
  • id (wx.propgrid.PGPropArgCls) – Property name or pointer.
  • set (bool) – Use True to enable read-only, False to disable it.
  • flags (int) – By default changes are applied recursively. Set this parameter wx.propgrid.PG_DONT_RECURSE to prevent this.

Note

This is mainly for use with textctrl editor. Only some other editors fully support it.



SetPropertyTextColour(self, id, colour, flags=PG_RECURSE)

Sets text colour of a property.

Parameters:
  • id (wx.propgrid.PGPropArgCls) – Property name or pointer.
  • colour (wx.Colour) – New background colour.
  • flags (int) – Default is wx.propgrid.PG_RECURSE which causes colour to be set recursively. Omit this flag to only set colour for the property in question and not any of its children.


SetPropertyValidator(self, id, validator)

Sets validator of a property.

Parameters:


SetPropertyValue(self, *args, **kw)

overload Overloaded Implementations:



SetPropertyValue (self, id, value)

Sets value (floating point) of a property.

Parameters:



SetPropertyValue (self, id, value)

Sets value (bool) of a property.

Parameters:



SetPropertyValue (self, id, value)

Sets value (string) of a property.

Parameters:



SetPropertyValue (self, id, value)

Sets value (list of strings ) of a property.

Parameters:



SetPropertyValue (self, id, value)

Sets value ( wx.DateTime) of a property.

Parameters:



SetPropertyValue (self, id, value)

Sets value (:ref:`wx.Object`&) of a property.

Parameters:



SetPropertyValue (self, id, value)

Sets value (wxArrayInt&) of a property.

Parameters:



SetPropertyValue (self, id, value)

Sets value (Variant &) of a property.

Parameters:

Note

Use wx.propgrid.PropertyGrid.ChangePropertyValue instead if you need to run through validation process and send property change event.



SetPropertyValue (self, id, value)

Sets value (integer) of a property.

Parameters:





SetPropertyValueString(self, id, value)

Sets value (String ) of a property.

Parameters:

Note

This method uses wx.propgrid.PGProperty.SetValueFromString , which all properties should implement. This means that there should not be a type error, and instead the string is converted to property’s actual value type.



SetPropertyValueUnspecified(self, id)

Sets property’s value to unspecified.

If it has children (it may be category), then the same thing is done to them.

Parameters:id (wx.propgrid.PGPropArgCls) –


SetPropertyValues(self, dict_, autofill=False)

Sets property values from a dictionary.

Parameters:
  • dict_ – the source of the property values to set, which can be either a dictionary or an object with a __dict__ attribute.
  • autofill – If True, keys with not relevant properties are auto-created. For more info, see :method:`AutoFill`.

Note

Keys starting with underscore are ignored. Attributes can be set with entries named like “@<propname>@<attr>”.



SetValidationFailureBehavior(self, vfbFlags)

Adjusts how wx.propgrid.PropertyGrid behaves when invalid value is entered in a property.

Parameters:vfbFlags (int) – See PropertyGrid Validation Failure behaviour Flags for possible values.


Sort(self, flags=0)

Sorts all properties recursively.

Parameters:flags (int) – This can contain any of the following options: wx.propgrid.PG_SORT_TOP_LEVEL_ONLY: Only sort categories and their immediate children. Sorting done by wx.propgrid.PG_AUTO_SORT option uses this.

SortChildren , wx.propgrid.PropertyGrid.SetSortFunction



SortChildren(self, id, flags=0)

Sorts children of a property.

Parameters:
  • id (wx.propgrid.PGPropArgCls) – Name or pointer to a property.
  • flags (int) – This can contain any of the following options: wx.propgrid.PG_RECURSE: Sorts recursively.
