CBCGPPropertyManager

Detailed Description

The CBCGPPropertyManager class implements an easy and efficient way to create your application properties (options) from XML file, bind properties to CBCGPPropList control, save property values to the registry and load them.

How to use a property manager in the application:

• Create a properties XML file (the following article describes how to create it: https://bcgsoft.com/doc/how_to_create_property_grid_xml.htm) and add this file to your resources (resource type is XML, resource ID, for example, will be IDR_PROPERTIES_XML).
• Derive your class from CBCGPPropertyManager class and override OnPropertyChanged method. In this method you will be able to add any actions that should be performed after property has been changed.
• Add m_PropManager member (CBCGPPropertyManager-derived) to the application class.
• Add the following code in your application's InitInstance (after SetRegistryBase):

Copy

if (m_PropManager.Load(IDR_PROPERTIES_XML))

{

m_PropManager.LoadFromRegistry();

}

• Add m_PropManager.SaveToRegistry() in application's ExitInstance.
• In CBCGPPropList initialization code (after control is created) call theApp.m_PropManager.Bind(m_wndPropList).
