editControl

  • Article

Specifies what control to use when editing the property. There should be only one editControl element for each displayInfo element.

If there are multiple elements, the last one is used. If no editControl element is provided, then the default attribute settings are applied to the property description.

If <typeInfo isInnate="true">, this element is ignored because an innate property cannot be edited.
