Hello,

Is there a way to add a tooltip in CExtGridCellInplaceSlider ? I’m using this slider inside a PropertyGrid, and if we want to set a particular value, it’s not possible.

Is there also a "buddy to edit" that can be linked to this CExtGridCellInplaceSlider ?

Thanks.

We upgraded to ProfUIS v2.92, but it seems that CExtGridCell::ContentTipSet() is not working in a CExtPropertyGrid, which directly inherits from  CWnd, not CExtGridWnd. Can you confirm, or we done something wrong ?

Thanks.

First of all, you should make tree grids inside the property grid control displaying content tips. Please invoke the following code during property grid initialization:

CExtPropertyGridCtrl & _PGC = . . .
 CExtPropertyGridWndCategorized * pPgwCategorized =
         STATIC_DOWNCAST( CExtPropertyGridWndCategorized, _PGC.GetChildByRTC( RUNTIME_CLASS(CExtPropertyGridWndCategorized) ) );
     ASSERT_VALID( pPgwCategorized );
     pPgwCategorized->HoverEventsSet( true, false );
     pPgwCategorized->AdvModifyStyle( __EGWS_ADV_CELL_CONTENT_TIPS_INNER );
 CExtPropertyGridWndSorted * pPgwSorted =
         STATIC_DOWNCAST( CExtPropertyGridWndSorted, _PGC.GetChildByRTC( RUNTIME_CLASS(CExtPropertyGridWndSorted) ) );
     ASSERT_VALID( pPgwSorted );
     pPgwSorted->HoverEventsSet( true, false );
     pPgwSorted->AdvModifyStyle( __EGWS_ADV_CELL_CONTENT_TIPS_INNER );
 

Second, assign content tip before assigning grid cell to property value. Here is how we did this in the PropertyGrod sample project:

CExtPropertyValue * pValSlider = new CExtPropertyValue( _T("Slider") );
     pValSlider->NameSet( _T("Slider control") );
     pValSlider->DescriptionSet( _T("Slider control.") );
 CExtGridCellInplaceSlider * pCellInplaceSlider =
         STATIC_DOWNCAST(
             CExtGridCellInplaceSlider,
             pValSlider->ValueDefaultGetByRTC(
                 RUNTIME_CLASS( CExtGridCellInplaceSlider )
                 )
             );
     pCellInplaceSlider->ScrollTotalRangeSet( 100 );
     //pCellInplaceSlider->ScrollPageSizeSet( 20 );
     pCellInplaceSlider->ScrollPosSet( 50 );
     pCellInplaceSlider->ContentTipSet( _T("CExtGridCellInplaceSlider") );
     pValSlider->ValueActiveFromDefault();
     pCategoryMisc->ItemInsert(
         pValSlider
         );
 

Grid cells in Prof-UIS 2.91 and older support a tooltip and a content expanding window. But this is supported only for grid cells with not fully visible inner cell parts. In Prof-UIS 2.92 and later all grid cells support new HTML-enabled content tips (CExtGridCell::ContentTipSet()). Content tips are displayed near grid cells just when the mouse pointer is over cell area. It’s not important whether cell inner parts are completely visible.

The drid control is not a dialog replacement. The "buddy to edit" is not an applicable feature.
