Object Hierarchy | Related C++ Class: PPGItem
v4.0
This object represents a component of the user interface of a
Property Page. Normally a PPGItem represents a user interface
control that is directly related to a Parameter of the object that is inspected. For
example a PPGItem of type siControlString would display the value
of a String parameter. Similarly
a PPGItem of type siControlFCurve would show the FCurve contained
inside a FCurve Parameter. The connection between the control and
its associated Parameter is established based on the PPGItem.Name.
Other PPGItems do not directly correspond to a parameter, for
example Buttons, Tabs and Groups.
Each PPGItem exposes a series of "attributes" that can be used to
tweak its appearance. Some of the most common attributes are
exposed directly as properties of the object, for example PPGItem.Label, whereas the more
specialized or uncommon attributes can be accessed via PPGItem.GetAttribute.
PPGItem objects are accessible via the PPGLayout of a ProjectItem.
