BaseDataListComponentEditor::EditComponent Method (ITypeDescriptorContext, Object, IWin32Window)

Edits the specified component by using the specified context descriptor and parent window.

Namespace:  System.Web.UI.Design.WebControls
Assembly:  System.Design (in System.Design.dll)

public:
virtual bool EditComponent(
	ITypeDescriptorContext^ context, 
	Object^ obj, 
	IWin32Window^ parent
) override

Parameters

context
Type: System.ComponentModel::ITypeDescriptorContext
An ITypeDescriptorContext object that can be used to gain additional context information.
obj
Type: System::Object
An Object implementing the IComponent, which represents the component to edit.
parent
Type: System.Windows.Forms::IWin32Window
The IWin32Window that represents the parent window.

Return Value

Type: System::Boolean
true the component was successfully edited; otherwise, false.

The EditComponent method gets a Type array of page control types by using the GetComponentEditorPages method. It creates a ComponentEditorForm object, and then calls its ShowForm method to display the component editor.

Notes to Implementers

The GetComponentEditorPages method must have been overridden to return a Type array of page control types. This array must exist in order for the EditComponent method to succeed.
