CMFCPropertyGridCtrl Multiple Selection

Question

Is there a way to enable multiple selection of properties in a CMFCPropertyGridCtrl?

I want to manipulate several CMFCPropertyGridProperty together e.g. for deleting them.

yes you can do that Make column with check box and you can select with corresponding row. you can select multiple row also. make row with check box also.

for(int i=1;i<= Rowcount;i++) {

    GV_ITEM Item;
    Item.mask |= (GVNI_MODIFIED);
    if (!m_Grid.SetCellType(i,CheckColumn, RUNTIME_CLASS(CGridCellCheckCenter)))
        return;
    CGridCellCheckCenter *pCellCheck = (CGridCellCheckCenter*) m_Grid.GetCell(i,CheckColumn);       
    pCellCheck->SetCheck(false);
    pCellCheck = (CGridCellCheckCenter*) m_Grid.GetCell(i,CheckColumn);         
}

then you check the state of row and get the value of that multiple row. you can go through this site also if u needed http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/479/Tree-control-and-Buttons-for-MFC-Grid-control

This sounds like an easier workaround, I will first try this one. Thank you. — fgrollio, Oct 31 '13 at 09:07

No! CMFCPropertyGridCtrl only allows a single selection.

I even have no idea what functionality you want to have with a multiple selection. You can only hit and change only one property. This is the same with the BCG controls.

I would like to select a lot of them and then hit "delete" to delete them. – fgrollio Oct 30 '13 at 12:49

OK. I understand your intent. But the outer PropertyGrid control only knows one selected item. There is no internal mechanism that allows to select a list. There is only one internal member m_pSel that controls one "selected item". Sorry. You may extent this by subclassing this and using m_pSel only as focused item and add handling of Ctrl+Mouseclick for multiple selections. But it will be a hard work... – xMRi Oct 30 '13 at 13:22
Yes, that could be a work around, I just couldn't find an easy way to highlight multiple properties. I think I will go with the "check-boxes option instead" – fgrollio Oct 31 '13 at 09:05
