Assembly: System.Activities.Design.Base (in System.Activities.Design.Base.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class DialogPropertyValueEditor _
    Inherits PropertyValueEditor
'Usage
Dim instance As DialogPropertyValueEditor

public class DialogPropertyValueEditor : PropertyValueEditor

public ref class DialogPropertyValueEditor : public PropertyValueEditor

public class DialogPropertyValueEditor extends PropertyValueEditor

type DialogPropertyValueEditor =  
    class
        inherit PropertyValueEditor
    end

Remarks

Use the DialogPropertyValueEditor class to show an inline editor that can have an associated dialog box editor.

The DialogPropertyValueEditor class can hold either a DataTemplate for a dialog box editor or custom logic that is called when the dialog box is invoked.

Use the EditModeSwitchButton in your DataTemplate to invoke your custom DialogPropertyValueEditor class.

You can provide a DataTemplate which is shown in a host dialog box, or you can override the ShowDialog method, which enables the reuse of existing or system dialog boxes.

The following list shows the rules for determining whether the DataTemplate or ShowDialog method is used.

▪ If the DialogEditorTemplate property is not a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), that DataTemplate is hosted in a host-specific dialog box, which provides host styling. The ShowDialog is not called.

▪ If the DialogEditorTemplate property is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the virtual ShowDialog method is called and you can override this method to show any dialog box.
