Hi,

I have a problem using CExtPropertyGridCtrl component. We are using the version 2.54.
I overloaded this class (let s call it PROPERTY_EDITOR) to allow me to instanciate my overloads of the CExtPropertyValue class (let s call it PROPERTY_VALUE).

I added two methods in the PROPERTY_EDITOR class :

SynchronizeFromObject() :

This method synchronizes the cell values from my object values. In this method, I make a call to the PropertyStoreSynchronize() method to update the cell content.

SynchronizeFromGUI() :

This method synchronizes my object values from the cell values. At the end of this method, I call the SynchronizeFromObject() method to refresh all the properties because some of my object values can be related to each other, it means that if I can edit properties A , B , C in the grid, changing value of property A can alter the values of the B and C properties. This method is called in the PROPERTY_VALUE :: Apply() method.



Let s take the example of a CExtGridVariantCell. The issue is that each time i modify the value of the cell using the spinbuttons, the SynchronizeFromGUI method is called, that calls to the SynchronizeFromObject method that performs a PropertyStoreSynchronize() method call. Thus i loose the focus on the edited cell.


Do you have a solution to Update the cells content without using the PropertyStoreSynchronize method

Best Regards

You can get the array of tree grid windows in the property grid control and find grid cells of a particular property value in all the grids:

CExtPropertyValue * pPropertyValue = . . .
CExtPropertyGridCtrl & _PGC = . . .
CTypedPtrArray < CPtrArray, CExtPropertyGridWnd * > arrGrids;
    _PGC.OnPgcQueryGrids( arrGrids );
INT nGridIdx = 0, nGridCount = INT( arrGrids.GetSize() );
    for( ; nGridIdx < nGridCount; nGridIdx ++ )
    {
        CExtPropertyGridWnd * pGrid = arrGrids[ nGridIdx ];
        ASSERT_VALID( pGrid );
        HTREEITEM hTreeItem = pGrid->PropertyItemToTreeItem( pPropertyValue );
        if( hTreeItem == NULL )
            continue;
        CExtGridCell * pGridCell = pGrid->ItemGetCell( hTreeItem, 1 );
        if( pGridCell == NULL )
            continue;
        ASSERT_VALID( pGridCell );
        //
        // modify pGridCell here and then redraw it if it is visible:
        //
        LONG nRowNo = pGrid->ItemGetVisibleIndexOf( hTreeItem );
        if( nRowNo < 0 )
            continue;
        CRect rc;
        if( pGrid->GridCellRectsGet( 1, nRowNo, 0, 0, NULL, &rc ) )
        {
            CRect rcClient;
            pGrid->GetClientRect( &rcClient );
            rc.left = rcClient.left;
            rc.right = rcClient.right;
            pGrid->InvalidateRect( &rc );
        }
    }
