    Posted: 19 May 2009 at 10:53am
Hi,
 
I use the property control for display many properties that are not changeable by users and many property display a directory path like C:\windows; c:\documents\data\; \\serv2\users, etc. I need to put a button for open the path on explorer without do a copy and paste of it, so, I have added a button that open the folder with shell command but the buttons are not show if readonly property i set on true. I can I do it?

Hi,
 
You can enable/disble inplacebutton directly:
 
Set propItem = Item.AddChildItem(PropertyItemString, "PropertyItemString", "abc")
      propItem.InplaceButtons.Add 1
      
      propItem.InplaceButtons(1).Enabled = False
     
 
Or 
 
With V13.0:
 
wndPropertyGrid.FindItem(ID_PROPGRIDITEM).InplaceButtons.FindButton(ID_INPLACEBUTTON).Enabled = False (or True)

Hi,
 
Already done but the button is missing and not visible and disabled. When property is readonly the InplaceButtons are not draw.
 
Try this:
 
Set propItem = Item.AddChildItem(PropertyItemString, "PropertyItemString", "abc")
      propItem.ReadOnly = True
      propItem.InplaceButtons.Add 1
      
      propItem.InplaceButtons(1).Enabled = True

Hi,
 
You can try this instead:
 
Set propItem = Item.AddChildItem(PropertyItemString, "PropertyItemString", "abc")
       propItem.ReadOnly = True
       propItem.Flags = 0
       propItem.InplaceButtons.Add 1
       propItem.InplaceButtons(1).Enabled = True
       propItem.CaptionMetrics.ForeColor = vbGrayed  'Now it looks the same as ReadOnly = true

Hi,
 
It seem to work but with Item.Flags = 0 I lost the possibility to do copy of the property value.

Hi,
 
You can't have it all
 
I'm not fond of rightclick standard popup menu anyway so... You can add own popup menu and add copy / paste functions yourself but that's your choise.
