TValueListEditor with checkbox
« on: June 26, 2018, 05:30:39 pm »
Does anyone found a good solution here? Unfortunately the component is not using the columns property and therefore it's less obvious then I thought it would be.

I thinks the easiest solution is to switch to a TStringGrid with two columns.

Override TValueListEditor.GetDefaultEditor(Column: Integer)?

Thanks Bart and WP.

Both are good options! Overriding sounds as the least work, at least for now so I'll start with that.

Override TValueListEditor.GetDefaultEditor(Column: Integer)?
I tried it, does not work. TValueListEditor overrides the cell editor mechanism because it mimics the grid columns by introducing so-called ItemProps with which you can select for example a picklist editor, but no checkbox editor, unfortunately. The implemented "EditStyles" are TEditStyle = (esSimple, esEllipsis, esPickList). I wonder why the author of the component did not think of a checkbox (maybe it was written before checkboxes were added to the ObjectInspector?). It's probably not too difficult to add it. Unfortunately I don't have the time now.

TCustomGrid.EditorByStyle also does not seem to support checkboxes...

Ah, I confused it with the columns... There is a ButtonStyle with a checkbox (TColumnButtonStyle = (cbsAuto, cbsEllipsis, cbsNone, cbsPickList, cbsCheckboxColumn, cbsButton, cbsButtonColumn)), but this checkbox is a bit strange because it takes the entire column and does not allow text any more.

Why not use a checklistbox (if only checkboxes are needed)?

The valuelistbox is like the property editor, each line can have a different editor. But unlike in the stringgrid it makes no use of the columns and thus cbscheckbox column cannot be used. It's not implemented. only cbsauto, cbsEllipse and cbspicklist. That's why I asked. I found out that overriding did not work. I was requesting for options ;-)
I keep it for now as a cbspicklist with true/false. Once I have time I will see what would be the option. Fork the component? Or modify the existing one?

Feel free to rewrite it so it uses columns and then submit a patch to the bugtracker.
