SOLVED:how to read or write from property grid

Hi,

I use clarion to work with codejock so if somebody can give some advise ... how to read from or write into propery grid ... this is a code which I use for setting and initialising property grid ...


LOC:OCXproperty     = CSTRING(20)
Loc:Property1       = CSTRING(20)
Loc:Property1item   = CSTRING(20)
Loc:Prop1           = CSTRING(20)

  code
?property{prop:create} = 'Codejock.PropertyGrid.12.0.1'
Loc:OCXproperty = CREATE(?property,CREATE:OLE)

Loc:Property1 = ?property{'InsertCategory(0,"category 1")'}
Loc:Property1item = ?property{Loc:Property1 & '.AddChildItem(0,"option 1-1","something 1")'}
Loc:prop1 = ?property{Loc:Property1item & '.insertChildItem(1,0,"suboption 1", "sub-something 1")'}
Loc:Property1item = ?property{Loc:Property1 & '.AddChildItem(0,"option 2-1","something 2")'}
Loc:Property1item = ?property{Loc:Property1 & '.AddChildItem(0,"option 3-1","something 3")'}
Loc:Property1item = ?property{Loc:Property1 & '.AddChildItem(0,"option 4-1","something 4")'}
Loc:Property1 = ?property{'InsertCategory(1,"category 2")'}
Loc:Property1item = ?property{Loc:Property1 & '.AddChildItem(0,"option 1-2",9)'}
Loc:Property1item = ?property{Loc:Property1 & '.AddChildItem(0,"option 2-2",9)'}
Loc:Property1item = ?property{Loc:Property1 & '.AddChildItem(0,"option 3-2",9)'}

now, how to read and write values  ... I tried with .AddChildItemBinded too, but don't know how to put the name of the object like a parameter ... Tried with .Value, but didn't work, maybe my mistake...

Hi Aaron,

well, I did it :-) ... thanks to you ... I renamed my variables to make easier for read and use the following code:

Loc:OCXproperty = STRING(20)
Loc:category        =STRING(20)
Loc:item               =STRING(20)
var1                     =STRING('templates for codejock controls')
var2                     =STRING(50)
var3                     =STRING(50)

code
?wndPropertyGrid{prop:create} = 'Codejock.PropertyGrid.12.0.1'
Loc:OCXproperty = CREATE(?wndPropertyGrid,CREATE:OLE)

Loc:category =  ?wndPropertyGrid{'AddCategory("some documents")'}
Loc:item =      ?wndPropertyGrid{Loc:category & '.AddChildItem(0,"books","programming in clarion")'}
                ?wndPropertyGrid{Loc:item & '.id'} = 1

Loc:item =      ?wndPropertyGrid{Loc:category & '.AddChildItem(0,"magazines","clarionmag.com")'}
                ?wndPropertyGrid{Loc:item & '.id'} = 2

Loc:item =      ?wndPropertyGrid{Loc:category & '.AddChildItem(0,"flyers","noyantis.com")'}
                ?wndPropertyGrid{Loc:item & '.id'} = 3
                ?wndPropertyGrid{Loc:item & '.value'} = var1
var2 =            ?wndPropertyGrid{'finditem(3).value'}
var3 =            ?wndPropertyGrid{'finditem("magazines").value'}

Thanks to Andy Wilton and his great job of writing the templates for using this great controls with clarion, the community of clarion users of codejock controls is everyday bigger and bigger, but while we wait for the rest of templates, I'm sure that many of us will try to play with this ...

Once again, thank you Aaron on your help,

Regards,

Marino
