wxSmith and wxPropertyGrid

[tigerbeard]

Hello,

using wxWidgets 2.9.x on C::B and I am very happy with the wxSmith integration.
In my nightly build svn7966 I could not find support for wxPropertyGrid. I was wondering if there is a reason for that, especially since wxSmith is using that control itself?

wxsmith is not ported to (fully) support wx2.9. Patches welcome.

OK, thank you for your answer. Its still a wounderful tool  !

Hi, I was just about going to ask this question (support for wxPropertyGrid in wxSmith), and discovered it has been asked before. My question now is: Has the situation changed in any way since? Is there some direct or indirect way to use wxPropertyGrid in wxSmith now?

I am using the very latest nightlies of C::B under Win7 and self-built nightlies (based on Jens Lody tarball sources) under Kubuntu 14.04 (C::B is built against wx2.8 on Kubuntu).  For application development I use wx3.0.

Any advice appreciated. I really enjoy wxSmith and find things far easier when using it.

Regards,

Please, if anyone can provide some info on possible support for wxPropertyGrid in wxSmith, please share.

I found a partial solution that seems to work, at least on a basic level:

Use wxSmith to create a "Custom control", and then change some of the options:
- Set "Creating code" to $(THIS) = new $(CLASS)($(PARENT),$(ID),$(POS),$(SIZE),$(STYLE),$(NAME));
- Set "Incude file" to wx/propgrid/manager.h
- Set "Style" to wxPG_TOOLBAR|wxPG_SPLITTER_AUTO_CENTER|wxPG_DEFAULT_STYLE (add/remove options as required)
- Set "Var name" to e.g. m_pgman
- Set "Class name" to wxPropertyGridManager

Additional include files that may have to be added, depending on properties used
#include <wx/propgrid/propgrid.h>
#include <wx/propgrid/advprops.h>

Above uses the wxPropertyGridManager that allows several pages, but a similar approach can be used for a plain wxPropertyGrid
