	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

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.
