Class API

class wx.propgrid.StringProperty(PGProperty)

Possible constructors:

StringProperty(label=PG_LABEL, name=PG_LABEL, value="")

Basic property with string value.

Methods

---

__init__(self, label=PG_LABEL, name=PG_LABEL, value="")

Parameters:

• label (string) –
• name (string) –
• value (string) –

---

DoSetAttribute(self, name, value)

Reimplement this member function to add special handling for attributes of this property.

Parameters:

• name (string) –
• value (PGVariant) –

Return type:

bool

Returns:

Return False to have the attribute automatically stored in m_attributes. Default implementation simply does that and nothing else.

Note

To actually set property attribute values from the application, use wx.propgrid.PGProperty.SetAttribute instead.

---

OnSetValue(self)

This is updated so “<composed>” special value can be handled.

---

StringToValue(self, text, argFlags=0)

Converts text into Variant value appropriate for this property.

Parameters:

• text (string) – Text to be translated into variant.
• argFlags (int) – If wx.propgrid.PG_FULL_VALUE is set, returns complete, storable value instead of displayable one (they may be different). If wx.propgrid.PG_COMPOSITE_FRAGMENT is set, text is interpreted as a part of composite property string value (as generated by ValueToString called with this same flag).

Return type:

tuple

You might want to take into account that m_value is Null variant if property value is unspecified (which is usually only case if you explicitly enabled that sort behaviour).

Returns:( bool, variant )

Note

Default implementation converts semicolon delimited tokens into child values. Only works for properties with children.

---

ValueToString(self, value, argFlags=0)

Converts property value into a text representation.

Parameters:

• value (PGVariant) – Value to be converted.
• argFlags (int) – If 0 (default value), then displayed string is returned. If wx.propgrid.PG_FULL_VALUE is set, returns complete, storable string value instead of displayable. If wx.propgrid.PG_EDITABLE_VALUE is set, returns string value that must be editable in textctrl. If wx.propgrid.PG_COMPOSITE_FRAGMENT is set, returns text that is appropriate to display as a part of string property’s composite text representation.

Return type:

string

Note

Default implementation calls GenerateComposedValue .
