I use a CXTPPropertygrid to config the settings of a MDI application. Following code 1 works fine using release 1030. But when I build with version 11.3, the combo box inplace button will not show up. When you click on it. It sequentially step through all choices.

I then created a test dialog with simple code 2. It works. But when I move it into a SDI view, the in place button does not show up either.

Any settings I should set?

Code 1:

CXTPPropertyGridItem* pATFS = new CXTPPropertyGridItem(_T("Feature Space"), _T("Fixed Dimensions"));

CXTPPropertyGridItem* pItemDist = pAT->AddChildItem(pATFS);

CXTPPropertyGridItemConstraints* pList = pItemDist->GetConstraints();

pList->AddConstraint(_T("Fixed Dimensions"));

pList->AddConstraint(_T("Fixed Variance"));

pItemDist->SetFlags(xtpGridItemHasComboButton | xtpGridItemHasEdit);

pATFS ->BindToString(& m_sc.m_atFeatureSpace);

Code 2:

CXTPPropertyGridItem* pSettings = m_wndPropertyGrid.AddCategory(_T("Document Settings"));

CXTPPropertyGridItem* pItemSaveOnClose = pSettings->AddChildItem(new CXTPPropertyGridItemBool(_T("SaveOnClose"), TRUE));

pSettings->Expand();

Thanks for the reply.

I am drawing a control myself. So I put in XTP_PGS_OWNERDRAW into the grid windows style. And that cause the problem.

Hello,

yes, please add line

  CRect rcValue(rcCaption.right, rc.top, rc.right, rc.bottom - 1);
  if (!pItem->IsCategory() && bSelected)
   pGrid->GetPaintManager()->DrawInplaceButtons(&dc, pItem, rcValue);

to draw buttons in your custom paint manager.
