Property Value

Type Default Description
TextEditStyles **DisableTextEditor**

The TextEditStyles value determining the editing style.

Available values:

Name Description
Standard

A button editor works in its normal way. Editing and selecting text is allowed.

ButtonEdit_TextEditStyle_Standard

HideTextEditor

The text editing region is not visible and the editor displays only buttons contained in the current button editor. If no buttons can be displayed (for instance because of setting the EditorButton.Visible property to False), the editor displays an empty region in this case.

ButtonEdit_TextEditStyle_Hidetexteditor

DisableTextEditor

A button editor is displayed in its normal way. However, editing and selecting text is not allowed. If you want to enable a user to select text but disable text modifications, you can set the text editing style to Standard and set the RepositoryItem.ReadOnly property to true.

ButtonEdit_TextEditStyle_Disable

Remarks

The TextEditStyle property specifies how text and buttons are displayed within the button editor and in how text is edited. Possible editing styles are enumerated by the TextEditStyles type.

The property is overridden to prevent editing text in the edit box. The property can only be set to TextEditStyles.DisableTextEditor or TextEditStyles.HideTextEditor.

You cannot set the property to TextEditStyles.Standard. In this case, TextEditStyle is actually set to TextEditStyles.DisableTextEditor thus disabling access to the text in the edit box.
