CXTPPropertyGridInplaceEdit ignores alignment!

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi, I have a property grid with both text and numeric items, I align the text on the left and the numbers on the right by ORing the appropriate alignment flags with the GetValueMetrics()->m_uDrawTextFormat member.  

This works fine to display the items, but when an item is selected the in-place edit control ignores this setting and always displays the text left aligned! 

I tried setting the edit style to ES_RIGHT by calling SetEditStyle() for each numeric item but this had no effect, and when I checked the source it specifically ignores all the alignment flags passed in this way! 

Am I missing something or is there a bug in the code?

I'm currently using version 11.1.3.

Thanks.

	Hello, Indeed this flag ignored in CXTPPropertyGridInplaceEdit::Create. Pleae remove them from DWORD dwStyle and build library.

	Ok Oleg, I've removed the ES_LEFT, ES_RIGHT and ES_CENTER styles from dwStyle and this now works as expected, I assume you will do the same for your next release? Thanks.
