To edit other properties and the behavior of WebPart controls, you can use the other EditorPart controls supplied with the Web Parts control set. These controls include the BehaviorEditorPart, the LayoutEditorPart, and the PropertyGridEditorPart. The built-in EditorPart controls provide the most commonly used features for editing WebPart controls. However, you can also create a custom editor control by inheriting from the EditorPart class. For a code example, see System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.EditorPart.

Enabling a LayoutEditorPart Control

The LayoutEditorPart control is displayed only when a Web Parts page is in edit mode and when the user has selected an associated WebPart control for editing. For more information, see Walkthrough: Changing Display Modes on a Web Parts Page.
