wxGrid Limit the number of displayed rows Topic is solved

[raananb]

using Grid->SetMaxSize(wxSize (-1,200)); does limit the size of the grid when it is created and filled with data, inserting scroll bars as required.

However, if a row is added, the grid overflows it maximum size and only return to it when recreated.

Any way to avoid this overflow?

Hi Raananb,

First of all Grid->SetMaxSize, don't know of a wxGrid method with this name.

So I presume you mean you want to limit the number of rows added into a wxGrid. Maybe something like this is what you search for ?

Code: Select all

....
if (hGrid->GetNumberRows() < 200) hGrid->InsertRows(...);
....

extended with an else clause if wanted, displaying a dialog telling the user he has reached a limit ?

You are correct in saying that SetMaxSize() is not part of wxGrid.

It is interesting to note that VisualStudio displays SetMaxSize when selecting a wxGrid function and that it is compiled with no errors!

I solved my problem by setting a fixed size to the grid.

Thanks.

FWIW, SetMaxSize() is a method of wxWindow and therefore also of wxGrid.

That is true, and I though it would work...

Hi raananb,

Could it be that you called SetMaxSize() after you displayed the frame containg the grid. I mean, did you call wxGrid->Refresh(), or Frame->Refresh() ?
