Grid editor - sort of Choice list not working

wxPython Users
1

The wxCB_SORT style does not seem to do anything in the grid editor one gets with dataType = "wxGRID_VALUE_CHOICE"

I am trying to do:

EVT_GRID_EDITOR_CREATED(self, self.SetChoiceValues)

    def SetChoiceValues(self, event):
        control = event.GetControl()
        control.SetWindowStyle(wxCB_SORT | wxCB_READONLY)
        etc ......

If I leave out the wxCB_READONLY style I do get an error, therefore I assume that the style is set, but the choices are still not sorted in any way.

Am I doing some wrong / or not doing or is this style not supported in the grid.

Best regards
Werner

Most styles are only effective when the window is created.

I tried the following and searched in the doc to no avail.

        elif col in self.choiceColumns:
            attr = wxGridCellAttr()
            edClass = wxGridCellChoiceEditor
            kwargsDict = {}
            kwargsDict['style'] = wxCB_READONLY | wxCB_SORT
            editor = apply(edClass, (), kwargsDict)
            attr.SetEditor(editor)
            return attr

But the wxGridCellChoiceEditor does NOT take a keyword style, at least not the way I tried to do it.

Any other good guesses :slight_smile: on how to solve this, or do I really have to sort this list myself before feeding it to the editor?

See you

You could make your own grid editor class derived from wxPyGridCellEditor.
