I have codejock 9.61 and i am testing PropertyGrid control in my application.

In property grid documentation you can see that finditem method can search an item by id or by caption.

I have set item.id property but when i try to get the item by finditem method with item.id i get an error.

If i try finditem with item.caption all works fine.

Can you fix this problem ?

Thanks a lot.

I have 9.60 version and the help on line said finditem works by id or caption.

Caption works fine, id does'nt work.

To test try this code (just put it on the form load event of a vb6 form):

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim MyCategory As PropertyGridItem
    Dim MyItem As PropertyGridItem
    Dim MySearchItem As PropertyGridItem
   
    Set MyCategory = Me.PropertyGrid1.AddCategory("FirstCategory")
    Set MyItem = MyCategory.AddChildItem(PropertyItemNumber, "FirstItem")
    MyItem.Id = 0
   
    Set MySearchItem = Me.PropertyGrid1.FindItem(0)
   
    If MySearchItem Is Nothing Then
        msgbox "FindItem Method does'nt work!!"
    Else
        msgbox MySearchItem.Caption
    End If
End Sub

You will get the msgbox "FindItem Method does'nt work!!" .

Waiting your answer, Thanks a lot.

Post Scriptum:

also finditem by tag doesn't work.

Bye

In my brief investigations:

• FindItem(ID) only returns an object where the ID is greater than 0, despite the Item.ID being set and stored as 0 or less - ie MyCategory.Childs.Item(1).Id returns the correct ID
• FindItem(TAG) never seems to returns an item
• FindItem(CAPTION) returns the first item with a matching caption

This appears correct for 9.601 and 9.80 (and I assume any version in between!?!).

Perhaps submit a bug report and post the response here?

Ok you are rigth!

Just id=0 is a mistake.

Thanks a lot.
