How to select an item and activate edit

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I've got a tree view on a data file that opens tabbed views when you double click an item in the tree.  Each tabbed view is a property grid.  I'd like, after the grid is created and displayed in the new view, to select the first item in the grid, activate its edit, and select all the contents in the edit.  I can't figure out how to do this from code (as opposed to clicking in the item).   What's the secret?
Thanks,
Rick

	CXTPPropertyGridItem* pItem = m_wndPropertyGrid.GetCategories()->GetAt(0)->GetChilds ()->GetAt(2); pItem->Select(); m_wndPropertyGrid.SetFocus(); pItem->GetInplaceEdit().SetFocus(); pItem->GetInplaceEdit().SetSel(0, -1, FALSE); ps. in you source version GetInplaceEdit can be protected (we changed it as public in last version only) so modify header file manually.
