Hi,

If you're okay with using a pop up menu rather than a drop down list, then:

Define your own wxGridCellRenderer for that cell (see the wxGrid sample). Use the renderer to add the icon to the font text.

Make the cell read-only, then catch the EVT_GRID_CELL_LEFT_CLICK event and display a pop-up menu.

If you go this route, you can do a few simple calculations to align the pop-up menu with the grid cell so it always shows in the same relative area on the grid.


Hope that helps,

Jim
OS: Vista SP1, wxWidgets 2.8.7.

Hi.

You could put a floating wxButton on top of the grid. Just create a button using the grid as parent.
Hide the button for the moment.
Catch EVT_GRID_CMD_SELECT_CELL:
1) If the cell allows the button show the button
2) Hide the button if the cell does not allow it

Another approach would be using
EVT_GRID_EDITOR_HIDDEN
EVT_GRID_EDITOR_SHOWN

Catch both events and show a custom editor maybe.

I'm not familiar with wxGRID. I just told what I would try first :)

Jim,
I need a standard button, not custom bitmap. I don't understand how to do this using CellRenderer.
