Use to edit a value of the selected property in a more advanced or comfortable way than in the in-place editor in the Properties window. There are multiple ways to edit a value, which can be chosen from the combo box at the top. By default the basic property editor is chosen (for example, a text editor for String-type properties, or a color chooser for colors). Sometimes this default editor may have no graphics component (for example, numbers only have an in-place editor in the Properties window).
The following two property editors are always available for all value types:
Element | Description |
---|---|
Value from existing component |
Select a Component, Property, or Method Call to set the property value from. |
Custom code |
Insert your code representing the property value. The code becomes a part of the guarded code generated by the GUI Builder. |
