public:
 override bool EditComponent(System::ComponentModel::ITypeDescriptorContext ^ context, System::Object ^ obj, System::Windows::Forms::IWin32Window ^ parent);

public override bool EditComponent (System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext context, object obj, System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window parent);

override this.EditComponent : System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext * obj * System.Windows.Forms.IWin32Window -> bool

Public Overrides Function EditComponent (context As ITypeDescriptorContext, obj As Object, parent As IWin32Window) As Boolean

Parameters

context: ITypeDescriptorContext

An ITypeDescriptorContext object that can be used to gain additional context information.

obj: Object

An Object implementing the IComponent, which represents the component to edit.

parent: IWin32Window

The IWin32Window that represents the parent window.

Returns

Boolean

true the component was successfully edited; otherwise, false.

Remarks

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 Inheritors

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.
