Topic: property grid is not displayed in my view

i am using CXTTabCtrl to have a tabbed dialog and i am adding CFormViews as my tabs.

in my code i have a view called CMicrophoneView where i am trying to use CXTPPropertyGrid however the property grid does not get displayed, i used the same approach as the property grid sample application that came with codejock.

if i move the mouse over the area where i expected the property grid control to be, i can see arrows for manipulating the control. so i think it has to do with how the property grid is being painted, but i dont know how to solve this problem.

source code provided below, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi,

Just bring it to front:

m_grid.SetWindowPos(&CWnd::wndTop, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOSIZE);

thanks that makes it display, however when i try to put in a combo box when i click on the combo box the drop down list does not display

i do the following

CXTPPropertyGridItem* pItem = pGrid->AddChildItem(new CXTPPropertyGridItem(_T("ComboBox"), 0);

pItem->GetConstraints()->AddConstraint(_T("hello world"));
pItem->SetFlags(xtpGridItemHasComboButton|xtpGridItemHasEdit);
pItem->SetConstraintEdit(TRUE);

Can you please try with this sample? For the second tab, second property grid, for charger current, I can go through the combo box values by using arrow key, but it does not display the combo box.

Thanks.

Hi,

OnGridNotify have to return FALSE by default....

also to reduce flickers add

GetDlgItem(IDC_FG_PARAMS_GRID)->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
GetDlgItem(IDC_CHARGE_CURRENT_GRID)->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE);
before you create grids.

I have a report control in tab1, and a property grid in tab2. If something changes in one of the columns in the report control, I need to display the same value in one of the fields in the property grid on tab 2. UpdateData() will not work. What is the best way to do this? Even if I have a document associated with the view, I can�t get it to work with UpdateAllViews(), right?

In this code, if I change the value of Capacity in mAh, then in tab2, the Max Capacity does get changed, but I also get a crash on the second attempt!!

Bug in your code:

replace

char* strCap;
to

char strCap[10];
