Title: wxPropertyGrid for compiler options
Post by: pauliusz on August 06, 2007, 01:37:52 am

The thing I didn't like most in CB was compiler options dialog... So I started to implement wxPropertyGrid for it. Attached patch is the first result of my work.
I would recommend to apply [ Patch #2104 ] wxPropertyGrid 1.2.6->1.2.8 (http://developer.berlios.de/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=2104&group_id=5358) before trying it out... although it should work with 1.2.6 also (I haven't tried)...

Currently I am working on problem with splitter positioning... Now you have to expand window to see checkbox'es. Maybe someone has good idea about this?

I see big potential in wxPropertyGrid since it will be possible to add combobox for CPU selection and optimization level, editbox for options like stack size and etc.

This sounds pretty cool ... if it would work. Crash report attached. XP Pro SP2, wxMSW 2.8.4, C::B r4349 w/ patch 2104 and your patch.

Tried the very same thing some 12-13 months ago, decided to stay far away from wxPropertyGrid after fighting against it for 2 weeks.

What problems you were fighting with?

Strange... Couldn't reproduce crash with exactly the same environment.

It works well and looks cool. Good work. :)

I can see the checkboxes without any resizing or moving the splitters. BTW, I'm still using wxPropGrid-1.2.6.

Improvements:
* sunken border for grid
* freeze/thaw, improves rendering speed and removes any flickering (may also fix TDragon problem)

lazy here : can you show a screenshot, with one of those long settings : Eg : In C mose, support all ISO C90 programs.In C++ mode, remove GNU extensions that conflict with ISO C++ [-ansi] ?

It is seemingly impossible to make it work the way one wants it. It looks what it looks like, it places controls where it places them, and it uses the controls it uses.
If that's not exactly what you want by any chance, you're lost. True, you can adjust the font size and colour... but that is about it.
