I'm trying to add my own buttons to a property grid toolbar.  I'm using version 8.0.  How can I change the existing property grid toolbar, or use my own?

Hello,

Take a look at the GUI_VisualStudio7 sample in the GUI_samples directory that comes with Xtreme Toolkit Pro.  If you do not have Xtreme Toolkit Pro, you can download the evaluation version which comes with the sample.

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply, but I'm either still not getting it or not doing a good job of explaining my problem.  Take for example the Properties Window in the MS Visual Studio .NET IDE.  It has a property grid with a toolbar.  The toolbar has the default buttons for arranging the grid categorized or alphabetic.  The ShowToolBar() function in your library does the same.  However, the MS Properties Window toolbar also has buttons for Properties, Events, Messages, etc.  That's what I need to do - add more buttons to the toolbar.  If I could replace the toolbar entirely with one of my own, that would work also, but I need more functionality than just the two default sort buttons.  I hope this is a clearer explanation of my problem.

Hello,

Which version do you need help with MFC, ActiveX or .NET?

Thanks,

Hello,

I have attached a sample project that illustrates how to do this.  You may need to change the stdafx.h for either Xtreme Suite or Xtreme Toolkit Pro, for example:

Add the following line to your StdAfx.h file:

Xtreme Toolkit Pro users:

#include <XTToolkitPro.h> // Xtreme Toolkit Pro components

Xtreme Suite users:

#include <XTSuitePro.h> // Xtreme Suite components

Let me know if this helps!

Cheers,

Ok so basically the propertygrid doesn't support user-added buttons per-se.  You just don't use the propertygrid toolbar and create/manage your own toolbar.

You should clarify that on the propertygrid  web page.

I'm new to toolbars.  Basically, I have a property grid in a dialog box (part of a wizard) and I want to customize the toolbar.  I followed the sample posted as closely as possible but the toolbar is not displayed.  I only have a license to the property grid, so I don't think I have CXTPToolBar, so I'm using MFC CToolBar instead.  Code looks like:

virtual BOOL OnInitDialog()
    {
        CPropertyPage::OnInitDialog();

        CRect rc;
        m_placeholder.GetWindowRect( &rc );
        ScreenToClient( &rc );

        if ( m_pgrid.Create( rc, this, IDC_PROPERTY_GRID ) )
        {
         &nbs p;  m_pgrid.ShowHelp( FALSE );
            // Create grid items...
        }

        if( m_toolbar.Create( &m_pgrid, WS_TABSTOP|WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|CBRS_TOOLTIPS ) )
        {
         &nbs p;   m_toolbar.LoadToolBar( IDR_TOOLBAR_GRID );
        }
        return 1;  // Let the system set the focus
    }

The toolbar is created and loaded successfully, but doesn't show up in the property grid window.  Obviously, I'm missing something important... any help would be appreciated.

So, I guess to answer my own question, I just put a toolbar on the property page and turned off the property grid's toolbar.  Its unfortunate that the property grid's toolbar can't be more easily customized.
