The MailFileEditor class is an UITypeEditor object that can be used at design time to select and edit a mail file name as a string, and assign the string to a control property. For example, the EmbeddedMailObject control uses the MailFileEditor class at design time to set the value of the Path property.
Use the EditorAttribute attribute to associate the MailFileEditor with a property. When the associated property is edited in the design surface, the designer host calls the EditValue method. The EditValue method displays a dialog box for selecting a mail file name from a filtered list of files, and returns the file name that is selected by the user. The GetEditStyle method indicates the display style of the user interface.
Derive a class from the MailFileEditor to define a custom editor for a mail file name property. For example, a derived class can override the EditValue method, and display an OpenFileDialog instance with a custom mail file filter or title.
The following code example demonstrates how to associate an instance of the MailFileEditor class with a property that is contained within a custom control. When the control property is edited in the design surface, the MailFileEditor class provides the user interface to select and edit a mail file name for the property value.
