Hi,
Is it possible to have inplacebuttons on a category? In fact it doesn't matter what kind of item as long I can click on it and it fires an event
 Any possible solution for this?
Thanks in advance ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 15.0.2 Platform: Windows XP (32bit) - SP 2 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 Zero replies is not an option.... |

I think that this is not possible, because Categories are hidden when you sort by property.
I solve this problem with using a PropertyItem and childitems.
The mainitem has buttons and will be canceled for edit in the RequestEdit event.
So the buttons can be used.

Hi,
Yes I know I can use a PropertyItem with childitems. I was hoping for some kind of workaround. Maybe the CJ developers will add this feature
 in the next version. I would rather use the category items because it looks nicer. Only the caption is selected and not the whole item area. When using PropertyItems you don't see the difference between a main or a child item and I see a small flicker when cancelling the request edit.
Thanks anyway for your reply

| You can change the captionmetrics and valuemetrics to apear as category, and if the cpu is fast, you have no flicker. |

Hi,
That's not entirely true, the selection area of a category is only the caption and second the identation of the childs increases when using a propertygrid item (without workarounds, but we don't want that) . I think there are advantages and disadvantages with this and I believe it's still a workaround and when using it this way you have just the looks of an extended Treeview with 2 columns. That brings me to the original post: is it possible to have inplace buttons to a PropertyItemCategory?
Thank you anyway for your replies
