Hi Oleg,

Did you check this? I tried to dynamically add buttons in SelectionChanged event and it doesn't "refresh" only when selecting item a second time. I tried with .LockRedraw as I mentioned in previous reply but that causes a crash. So there's no option to refresh item on first selection :(

Note: I tried with V13.1.0 so maybe old version... But I have to ask you if you checked this already before upgrading

Thanks

Hi Oleg,

The FindButton method is working, thanks for that

But I have a remark:

The button doesn't get updated with newly assigned value (Caption, icon, etc...) Only when I use it like this:

wndPropertyGrid.LockRedraw = True
wndPropertyGrid.FindItem(ID_PROPGRID_PROJECT).InplaceButtons.FindButton(ID_PROPGRID_BUTTON_COPY).IconIndex = ID_PROPGRID_BUTTON_UPDATE

wndPropertyGrid.LockRedraw = False

Without LockRedraw the value gets updated until item is selected / resized (I guess internal redraw).

Thanks in advance

Hi Oleg,

Thanks a lot

for adding this is next release. Could you please look at my other post and just reply with YES / NO or TODO LIST. If you aren't going to add anything at all just say so... at least I know

Thanks again

Hi Nighthawk,

Thanks for reply, I know you can loop through items and buttons. If you don't know the exact item and want to loop the propertygrid items in entire Category and there are multi level items you have to create loop for every child

The reason I did the post and added RETRY to post description is to have Oleg look at the issue again and maybe, just maybe he would add feature to reference button with ID and NOT with Index. It is strange we can loop through collection and retrieve ID, InplaceButton event is also returning ID, the only thing we can't is to reference the button directly

(with ID)

Thanks anyway

Now I know I'm not alone waiting for improvement with this...

Thank you

The PropertyGridItems and InPlaceButtons are both collections that you can loop through to find the button with the correct ID. You can use a function like:

Private Function getInPlaceButton(p_objPG As XtremePropertyGrid.PropertyGrid, p_lngButtonID As Long) As XtremePropertyGrid.PropertyGridInplaceButton
    Dim objItem As XtremePropertyGrid.PropertyGridItem
    Dim objButton As XtremePropertyGrid.PropertyGridInplaceButton
    Dim objFoundButton As XtremePropertyGrid.PropertyGridInplaceButton

    On Error GoTo getInPlaceButton_Error

    'loop through all propertygriditems in propertygrid
    For Each objItem In p_objPG.Categories
        'loop through all inplacebuttons in propertygriditem
        For Each objButton In objItem.InplaceButtons
            'if matching buttonid is found, return inplacebutton and break loops
            If (objButton.Id = p_lngButtonID) Then
                Set objFoundButton = objButton
                Exit For
            End If
        Next

        'break category loop if button was found
        If (Not (objFoundButton Is Nothing)) Then
            Exit For
        End If
    Next

    Set objItem = Nothing
    Set objButton = Nothing
    Set getInPlaceButton = objFoundButton

    On Error GoTo 0
    Exit Function

getInPlaceButton_Error:
End Function

This will give you access to the button with the specific ID. You can then access the Index property to do you delete. Replace your delete event in your sample project with:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    wndPropertyGrid.FindItem("Item").InplaceButtons.Remove getInPlaceButton(wndPropertyGrid, 520).index + 1
    wndPropertyGrid.FindItem("Item").Selected = True
End Sub

For some reason, a button reports its own index as 1 off compared to the index of the collection, that is the reason for the "+ 1". This delete will generate an error if the button id doesn't exist. You will want to check for that. You can also optimize the getInPlaceButton() code if you already know or have access to the appropriate PropertyGridItem record.

Hi Oleg,

I thought I give another try... Everyone has started a fresh year

so...

This test project is to make a point regarding referencing of inplacebuttons by it's index. I would like to see that the ID is used to reference the inplacebutton. With removing a button, I have to know where the button is located

Could you please do something about this?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

When dynamically adding buttons you don't know it's index (it could, but I don't want to keep record of what buttons are added and on which location).
If you change the position of the button (when adding the button) you have change the code in all events as well. I do a lot of changes before I'm satisfied how it looks

So using the index will not be the best approach for me.

Thanks

Hi,

Why you need another way. It was right way :) Just use its Index:

Item.InplaceButtons(1).Enabled = Item.Value > 0
