|phoenix_title|  **wx.propgrid.EnumProperty**
==========================================================================================================================================

You can derive custom properties with choices from this class.          

See BaseEnumProperty for remarks. 

         



.. note:: 

   

   - Updating private index is important. You can do this either by calling :meth:`SetIndex`   in IntToValue, and then letting `BaseEnumProperty.OnSetValue` be called (by not implementing it, or by calling super class function in it) ``-OR-`` you can just call SetIndex in OnSetValue.

   .. method:: GetChoiceSelection(self)

      Returns which choice is currently selected.                  

      Only applies to properties which have choices. 

      Needs to reimplemented in derived class if property value does not map directly to a choice. Integer as index, bool, and string usually do.                  

      :rtype: `int`








   .. method:: GetIndexForValue(self, value)




      :param `value`: 
      :type `value`: int




      :rtype: `int`








   .. method:: GetItemCount(self)



      :rtype: `int`








   .. method:: IntToValue(self, number, argFlags=0)

      Converts integer (possibly a choice selection) into :ref:`Variant`  value appropriate for this property.                  




      :param `number`: Integer to be translated into variant.   
      :type `number`: int
      :param `argFlags`: If ``wx.propgrid.PG_FULL_VALUE`` is set, returns complete, storable value instead of displayable one.  
      :type `argFlags`: int










      :rtype: `tuple`



                  



      :returns: 

         ( `bool`, `variant` ) 







      .. note:: 

   

         - If property is not supposed to use choice or spinctrl or other editor with int-based value, it is not necessary to implement this method. 
         - Default implementation simply assign given int to m_value. 
         - If property uses choice control, and displays a dialog on some choice items, then it is preferred to display that dialog in IntToValue instead of OnEvent. 
         - You might want to take into account that m_value is Mull variant if property value is unspecified (which is usually only case if you explicitly enabled that sort behaviour).  











   .. method:: OnSetValue(self)

      This virtual function is called after m_value has been set.                  

                 



      .. note:: 

   

         - If m_value was set to Null variant (ie. unspecified value), :meth:`OnSetValue`   will not be called. 
         - m_value may be of any variant type. Typically properties internally support only one variant type, and as such :meth:`OnSetValue`   provides a good opportunity to convert supported values into internal type. 
         - Default implementation does nothing.  











   .. method:: OnValidationFailure(self, pendingValue)

      Called whenever validation has failed with given pending value.                  

                


      :param `pendingValue`: 
      :type `pendingValue`: PGVariant






      .. note:: 

         If you implement this in your custom property class, please remember to call the baser implementation as well, since they may use it to revert property into pre-change state.   








   .. method:: StringToValue(self, text, argFlags=0)

      Converts text into :ref:`Variant`  value appropriate for this property.                  




      :param `text`: Text to be translated into variant.  
      :type `text`: string
      :param `argFlags`: 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 :meth:`ValueToString`   called with this same flag).  
      :type `argFlags`: int










      :rtype: `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.  








   .. method:: ValidateValue(self, value, validationInfo)

      Implement this function in derived class to check the value.                  

      Return ``True`` if it is ok. Returning ``False`` prevents property change events from occurring. 

                


      :param `value`: 
      :type `value`: PGVariant
      :param `validationInfo`: 
      :type `validationInfo`: wx.propgrid.PGValidationInfo




      :rtype: `bool`







      .. note:: 

   

         - Default implementation always returns ``True``.  











   .. method:: ValueToString(self, value, argFlags=0)

      Converts property value into a text representation.                  




      :param `value`: Value to be converted.   
      :type `value`: PGVariant
      :param `argFlags`: 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.  
      :type `argFlags`: int








      :rtype: `string`



                  



      .. note:: 

         Default implementation calls :meth:`GenerateComposedValue` .
