The ElementPropertyDescriptor type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | ElementPropertyDescriptor(ModelElement, DomainPropertyInfo, Attribute[]) | Initializes a new instance of the ElementPropertyDescriptor class. |
| ElementPropertyDescriptor(ElementTypeDescriptor, ModelElement, DomainPropertyInfo, Attribute[]) | Initializes a new instance of the ElementPropertyDescriptor class and specifies a default value provider. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AttributeArray | Gets or sets an array of attributes. (Inherited from MemberDescriptor.) |
| Attributes | Gets the collection of attributes for this member. (Inherited from MemberDescriptor.) |
| Category | Gets the category in which to group the domain property when the property is displayed in a PropertyGrid control that is set to Categorized mode. (Overrides MemberDescriptor.Category.) |
| ComponentType | Gets the type of the model element to which this property is bound. (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.ComponentType.) |
| Converter | Gets the converter for the described property. (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.Converter.) |
| Description | Gets the description of the described property, as specified in the DescriptionResourceAttribute. (Overrides MemberDescriptor.Description.) |
| DesignTimeOnly | Gets whether this member should be set only at design time, as specified in the DesignOnlyAttribute. (Inherited from MemberDescriptor.) |
| DisplayName | Gets the display name of the described property, as specified in the DisplayNameResourceAttribute. (Overrides MemberDescriptor.DisplayName.) |
| DomainPropertyInfo | Gets the property information object that was used to create this property descriptor. |
| IsBrowsable | Gets a value indicating whether the member is browsable, as specified in the BrowsableAttribute. (Inherited from MemberDescriptor.) |
| IsInstanceBased | Test if this PropertyDescriptor is based on an instance or a static type. |
| IsLocalizable | Gets a value indicating whether this property should be localized, as specified in the LocalizableAttribute. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| IsReadOnly | Gets a value that indicates whether the described property is read-only. (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.IsReadOnly.) |
| ModelElement | Gets the model element that was used to create this property descriptor. |
| Name | Gets the name of the member. (Inherited from MemberDescriptor.) |
| NameHashCode | Gets the hash code for the name of the member, as specified in GetHashCode. (Inherited from MemberDescriptor.) |
| PropertyType | Gets the property type of the described property. (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.PropertyType.) |
| SerializationVisibility | Gets a value indicating whether this property should be serialized, as specified in the DesignerSerializationVisibilityAttribute. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| SupportsChangeEvents | Gets a value indicating whether value change notifications for this property may originate from outside the property descriptor. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| AddValueChanged | (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.AddValueChanged(Object, EventHandler).) |
| CanResetValue | Indicates whether the value of the domain property can be reset. (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.CanResetValue(Object).) |
| CanSetProperty | |
| CreateAttributeCollection | Creates a collection of attributes using the array of attributes passed to the constructor. (Inherited from MemberDescriptor.) |
| CreateInstance | Creates an instance of the specified type. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| Equals | Compares this to another object to see if they are equivalent. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| FillAttributes | Adds the attributes of the PropertyDescriptor to the specified list of attributes in the parent class. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetChildProperties | Returns the default PropertyDescriptorCollection. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| GetChildProperties(Attribute) | Returns a PropertyDescriptorCollection using a specified array of attributes as a filter. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| GetChildProperties(Object) | Returns a PropertyDescriptorCollection for a given object. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| GetChildProperties(Object, Attribute) | Returns a PropertyDescriptorCollection for a given object using a specified array of attributes as a filter. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| GetEditor | Returns a value editor for the described property. (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.GetEditor(Type).) |
| GetElementPropertyDescriptor | Gets the ElementPropertyDescriptor given a ModelElement and DomainPropertyInfo. |
| GetHashCode | Returns the hash code for this object. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| GetInvocationTarget | This method returns the object that should be used during invocation of members. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| GetSetValueTransactionName | Returns a localized string for the name of the set value transaction. |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| GetTypeFromName | Returns a type using its name. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| GetValue | Gets the value of the domain property. (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.GetValue(Object).) |
| GetValueChangedHandler | Retrieves the current set of ValueChanged event handlers for a specific component (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| OnValueChanged | Raises the ValueChanged event that you implemented. (Inherited from PropertyDescriptor.) |
| RemoveValueChanged | (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.RemoveValueChanged(Object, EventHandler).) |
| ResetValue | Resets the value of the domain property. (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.ResetValue(Object).) |
| SetProperty | Set the property value. Property value is generally set via an ElementPropertyDescriptor. It will be set directly via the SetValue method on propertyInfo if - IsBrowsable attribute is set to false on propertyInfo and ElementPropertyDescriptor is not found. |
| SetValue | Sets the value of the domain property. (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.SetValue(Object, Object).) |
| ShouldSerializeValue | Indicates whether the value of the domain property should be serialized. (Overrides PropertyDescriptor.ShouldSerializeValue(Object).) |
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
This class provides dynamic custom property information for a domain property of a model element.
The Domain-Specific Language Tools (DSL Tools) use this type to represent the domain class properties in a domain model. This type controls how a property is handled by the property grid in the domain model and provides transactions for modifying the described property.
To create a customized element property descriptor, inherit from this class and override one or more of the members.
