Hi,

I would like to subclass the verb window - currently when you use the current line of code -:

this->GetVerbs()->Add(_T("Run Update"), 1);

It adds a 'link' to the verb panel - but I would like to add 'buttons'?

It is not clear to me how to do this as the Verb window would appear to be set up via the Property Pane as a child window.....

Can anyone point me in the right direction for this?

regards

Richard

Cor that wasn't fun....

So the verb window and the help window are not 'windows' at all which I would have thought would be a much neater implementation.

They are CRects that get drawn during the Paint call for the Property Grid.

To customise these you need to derive your own Property Grid and over-ride the OnPaint - but not call the Codejock base class method.

This will still let the grid area to be drawn but the Verb and help area are now disabled... and you can draw what you want here...

I would recommend referring to the code source in XTPropertyGrid.h and .cpp to replicate and customise the drawing.
