wxgrid ... how to initialize grid within class itself?

[Willy Wankalot]

Hi

I see lots of examples of grids that look like this ...

wxGrid *grid = new wxGrid(...);
grid->CreateGrid(...);
grid->SetColLabelValue(...);

Is there a way for me to subclass the grid and initialize it from within the
grid itself?

Like, when I create a wxNotebook, I just subclass wxNotebook as MyNotebook
and then add the tabs within the constructor.

But I can't do this in wxGrid because wxGrid::CreateGrid() needs to be
called first.

Is there an OnInit()-like event for the wxGrid where I can move its initial
setup code?

Thanks for any help.

This is no longer an issue :-)

I'm using wxListCtrl now, instead of wxGrid. It was sufficient and I'm able
to subclass it and populate the control within the initializer which is what
I was looking for.

You can call CreateGrid() from the constructor of your subclass. (The
constructor of the base class is executed before the constructor of the
subclass is called.)

Why not inside the constructor?

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind when I need to deal with wxGrid again.
