Detailed Description

Grid control (MC_WC_GRID).

The grid control provides user interface for presentation of table data model (see MC_TABLE).

Actually all messages manipulating with contents of the table exist just for convenience: they just call corresponding function manipulating with the underlying MC_TABLE. Thus the table can be resized, its contents can be changed and so on without use of the MC_TABLE API.

By default, the control creates an empty heterogenous table during its creation. You can avoid that by the style MC_GS_NOTABLECREATE. In that case however you have to attach some table to the control manually with the message MC_GM_SETTABLE. Until you do so, all messages attempting to modify the underlying table will just fail.

MC_GM_SETTABLE together with MC_GM_GETTABLE allows attaching one table to multiple controls.

Messages which do not manipulate with the table determine how the table is presented and these are tied to the control. I.e. if any table is attached to multiple control, each of the controls can present the table in other way (e.g. have another dimensions for each cell etc.).

These standard messages are handled by MC_WC_GRID control:

WM_GETFONT
WM_SETFONT
WM_SETREDRAW

Define Documentation

#define MC_GM_GETTABLE (WM_USER + 100)

Gets handle of table attached to the controlo or NULL if none is attached.

Note that calling the message does not change reference counter of the returned table. If you want to preserve the handle, you should call mcTable_AddRef() on it and then mcTable_Release() when you no longer need it.

Parameters:

wParam	Reserved, set to zero.
lParam	Reserved, set to zero.

Returns:: (&ref MC_TABLE) Handle of the table, or NULL.

#define MC_GM_SETTABLE (WM_USER + 101)

Attaches a table to the control.

Reference counter of the table is incremented. Previously attached table (if any) is detached and its reference counter is decremented.

If the wParam is NULL, the control creates new table (with reference count set to one), unless the control has style MC_GS_NOTABLECREATE.

Parameters:

	wParam	Reserved, set to zero.
[in]	lParam	(MC_TABLE) Handle of the table, or `NULL`.

Returns:: (BOOL) TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.

#define MC_GM_GETCOLUMNCOUNT (WM_USER + 102)

Gets count of columns in table attached to the control.

Parameters:

wParam	Reserved, set to zero.
lParam	Reserved, set to zero.

Returns:: (WORD) Returns count of table columns.

#define MC_GM_GETROWCOUNT (WM_USER + 103)

Gets count of rows in table attached to the control.

Parameters:

wParam	Reserved, set to zero.
lParam	Reserved, set to zero.

Returns:: (WORD) Returns count of table rows.

#define MC_GM_RESIZE (WM_USER + 104)

Resizes table attached to the control.

Parameters:

[in]	wParam	(`DWORD`) The low-order word specifies count of columns, high-order word specifies count of rows.
	lParam	Reserved, set to zero.

Returns:: (BOOL) TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.

#define MC_GM_CLEAR (WM_USER + 109)

Clears the table.

Parameters:

wParam	Reserved, set to zero.
lParam	Reserved, set to zero.

Returns:: Not defined, do not rely on return value.

#define MC_GM_SETCELL (WM_USER + 110)

Sets a table cell.

Parameters:

wParam	Reserved, set to zero.
lParam[in]	(MC_GCELL*) Pointer to structure describing the cell.

Returns:: (BOOL) TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.

#define MC_GM_GETCELL (WM_USER + 111)

Gets a table cell.

Caller has to fill MC_GCELL::wCol and MC_GCELL::wRow before sending this message.

Parameters:

	wParam	Reserved, set to zero.
[in,out]	lParam	(MC_GCELL*) Pointer to structure describing the cell.

Returns:: (BOOL) TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.

#define MC_GM_SETGEOMETRY (WM_USER + 112)

Sets geometry of the grid.

Parameters:

wParam	Reserved, set to zero.
lParam[in]	(MC_GGEOMETRY*) Pointer to structure describing the geometry. Only fields specified by the member `fMask` are set.

Returns:: (BOOL) TRUE on success, FALSE on failure.

#define MC_GM_GETGEOMETRY (WM_USER + 113)

Sets geometry of the grid.

Parameters:

wParam	Reserved, set to zero.
lParam[in,out]	(MC_GGEOMETRY*) Pointer to structure describing the geometry. Only fields specified by the member `fMask` are retrieved.
