Description

When you create your own property editors, they must meet two criteria:

They must be descendants of TBasePropertyEditor.

They must implement the IProperty interface.

The Object Inspector uses the methods on the IProperty interface to interact with property editors.

Typically, property editors are derived from TPropertyEditor, which supplies a default implementation for IProperty.

Note: C++ method declarations that use IPropertyServer use the _di_IPropertyServer type instead. This type is a DelphiInterface wrapper around the IProperty interface:

Copy Code

typedef System::DelphiInterfaceDelphiInterface_object< IProperty >  _di_IProperty;
