Inheritance diagram for wxPropertyGridInterface:

Detailed Description

Most of the shared property manipulation interface shared by wxPropertyGrid, wxPropertyGridPage, and wxPropertyGridManager is defined in this class.

Remarks

In separate wxPropertyGrid component this class was known as wxPropertyContainerMethods.
wxPropertyGridInterface's property operation member functions all accept a special wxPGPropArg id argument, using which you can refer to properties either by their pointer (for performance) or by their name (for conveniency).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual wxPropertyGridInterface::~wxPropertyGridInterface ( )

inlinevirtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

wxPGProperty* wxPropertyGridInterface::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.
This functions deselects selected property, if any. Validation failure option wxPG_VFB_STAY_IN_PROPERTY is not respected, ie. selection is cleared even if editor had invalid value.

wxPGProperty* wxPropertyGridInterface::AppendIn	(	wxPGPropArg	id,
		wxPGProperty *	newProperty
	)

Same as Append(), but appends under given parent property.

Parameters

id	Name or pointer to parent property.
newProperty	Property to be added.

void wxPropertyGridInterface::BeginAddChildren ( wxPGPropArg id )

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

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

See also: EndAddChildren()

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::ChangePropertyValue	(	wxPGPropArg	id,
		wxVariant	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.

Returns: Returns true if value was successfully changed.

virtual void wxPropertyGridInterface::Clear ( )

pure virtual

Deletes all properties.

Remarks: This functions deselects selected property, if any. Validation failure option wxPG_VFB_STAY_IN_PROPERTY is not respected, ie. selection is cleared even if editor had invalid value.

Implemented in wxPropertyGrid, wxPropertyGridManager, and wxPropertyGridPage.

void wxPropertyGridInterface::ClearModifiedStatus ( )

Resets modified status of all properties.

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::ClearSelection ( bool validation = false )

Clears current selection, if any.

Parameters

validation If set to false, deselecting the property will always work, even if its editor had invalid value in it.

Returns: Returns true if successful or if there was no selection. May fail if validation was enabled and active editor had invalid value.

Remarks: In wxPropertyGrid 1.4, this member function used to send wxPG_EVT_SELECTED. In wxWidgets 2.9 and later, it no longer does that.

See also: wxPropertyGrid::SelectProperty()

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::Collapse ( wxPGPropArg id )

Collapses given category or property with children.

Returns: Returns true if actually collapsed.

Remarks: This function may deselect selected property, if any. Validation failure option wxPG_VFB_STAY_IN_PROPERTY is not respected, ie. selection is cleared even if editor had invalid value.

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::CollapseAll ( )

Collapses all items that can be collapsed.

Remarks: This functions clears selection. Validation failure option wxPG_VFB_STAY_IN_PROPERTY is not respected, ie. selection is cleared even if editor had invalid value.

void wxPropertyGridInterface::DeleteProperty ( wxPGPropArg id )

Removes and deletes a property and any children.

Parameters

id	Pointer or name of a property.

Remarks: If you delete a property in a wxPropertyGrid event handler, the actual deletion is postponed until the next idle event.

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

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::DisableProperty ( wxPGPropArg id )

Disables a property.

See also: EnableProperty(), wxPGProperty::Enable()

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::EditorValidate ( )

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.

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::EnableProperty	(	wxPGPropArg	id,
		bool	enable = `true`
	)

Enables or disables property.

Disabled property usually appears as having grey text.

Parameters

id	Name or pointer to a property.
enable	If false, property is disabled instead.

See also: wxPGProperty::Enable()

void wxPropertyGridInterface::EndAddChildren ( wxPGPropArg id )

Called after population of property with fixed children has finished.

See also: BeginAddChildren()

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::Expand ( wxPGPropArg id )

Expands given category or property with children.

Returns: Returns true if actually expanded.

Remarks: This function may deselect selected property, if any. Validation failure option wxPG_VFB_STAY_IN_PROPERTY is not respected, ie. selection is cleared even if editor had invalid value.

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::ExpandAll ( bool expand = true )

Expands all items that can be expanded.

Remarks: This functions clears selection. Validation failure option wxPG_VFB_STAY_IN_PROPERTY is not respected, ie. selection is cleared even if editor had invalid value.

newProperty	Pointer to the inserted property. wxPropertyGrid will take ownership of this object.

Returns: Returns newProperty.

Remarks

wxPropertyGrid 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 wxPG_VFB_STAY_IN_PROPERTY is not respected, ie. selection is cleared even if editor had invalid value.

Example of use:

// append category
wxPGProperty* my_cat_id = propertygrid->Append( new wxPropertyCategory("My Category") );
...
// insert into category - using second variant
wxPGProperty* my_item_id_1 = propertygrid->Insert( my_cat_id, 0, new wxStringProperty("My String 1") );
// insert before to first item - using first variant
wxPGProperty* my_item_id_2 = propertygrid->Insert( my_item_id, new wxStringProperty("My String 2") );

wxPGProperty* wxPropertyGridInterface::Insert	(	wxPGPropArg	parent,
		int	index,
		wxPGProperty *	newProperty
	)

Inserts property to the property container.

See the other overload for more details.

Parameters

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 newProperty.

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::IsPropertyCategory ( wxPGPropArg id ) const

Returns true if property is a category.

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::IsPropertyEnabled ( wxPGPropArg id ) const

Returns true if property is enabled.

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::IsPropertyExpanded ( wxPGPropArg id ) const

Returns true if given property is expanded.

Naturally, always returns false for properties that cannot be expanded.

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::IsPropertyModified ( wxPGPropArg id ) const

Returns true if property has been modified after value set or modify flag clear by software.

virtual bool wxPropertyGridInterface::IsPropertySelected ( wxPGPropArg id ) const

virtual

Returns true if property is selected.

Reimplemented in wxPropertyGridManager.

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::IsPropertyShown ( wxPGPropArg id ) const

Returns true if property is shown (ie.

HideProperty() with true not called for it).

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::IsPropertyValueUnspecified ( wxPGPropArg id ) const

Returns true if property value is set to unspecified.

void wxPropertyGridInterface::LimitPropertyEditing	(	wxPGPropArg	id,
		bool	limit = `true`
	)

Disables (limit = true) or enables (limit = false) wxTextCtrl editor of a property, if it is not the sole mean to edit the value.

static void wxPropertyGridInterface::RegisterAdditionalEditors ( )

static

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.

wxPGProperty* wxPropertyGridInterface::RemoveProperty ( wxPGPropArg id )

Removes a property.

Does not delete the property object, but instead returns it.

Parameters

id	Pointer or name of a property.

Remarks

Removed property cannot have any children.

     Also, if you remove property in a wxPropertyGrid event
     handler, the actual removal is postponed until the next
     idle event.

wxPGProperty* wxPropertyGridInterface::ReplaceProperty	(	wxPGPropArg	id,
		wxPGProperty *	property
	)

Replaces property with id with newly created one.

For example, this code replaces existing property named "Flags" with one that will have different set of items:

pg->ReplaceProperty("Flags",

wxFlagsProperty("Flags", wxPG_LABEL, newItems))

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::RestoreEditableState	(	const wxString &	src,
		int	restoreStates = `AllStates`
	)

Restores user-editable state.

Parameters

src	String generated by SaveEditableState.
restoreStates	Which parts to restore from source string. See list of editable state flags.

Returns: Returns false if there was problem reading the string.

Remarks: If some parts of state (such as scrolled or splitter position) fail to restore correctly, please make sure that you call this function after wxPropertyGrid size has been set (this may sometimes be tricky when sizers are used).

wxString wxPropertyGridInterface::SaveEditableState ( int includedStates = AllStates ) const

Used to acquire user-editable state (selected property, expanded properties, scrolled position, splitter positions).

Parameters

includedStates Which parts of state to include. See list of editable state flags.

static void wxPropertyGridInterface::SetBoolChoices	(	const wxString &	trueChoice,
		const wxString &	falseChoice
	)

static

Sets strings listed in the choice dropdown of a wxBoolProperty.

Defaults are "True" and "False", so changing them to, say, "Yes" and "No" may be useful in some less technical applications.

bool wxPropertyGridInterface::SetColumnProportion	(	unsigned int	column,
		int	proportion
	)

Set proportion of a auto-stretchable column.

wxPG_SPLITTER_AUTO_CENTER window style needs to be used to indicate that columns are auto- resizable.

Returns: Returns false on failure.

Remarks: You should call this for individual pages of wxPropertyGridManager (if used).

See also: GetColumnProportion()
