Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

Set the ShowEditMenuItem property to True to allow users to invoke the Image Editor from the control’s context menu, using the Edit command.

The Image Editor dialog provides basic image edit operations:

• Crop and straighten
• Adjust brightness, contrast and saturation
• Mirror
• Rotate
• etc.

To open the Image Editor from code, use the PictureEdit.ShowImageEditorDialog method.

Handle the PictureEdit.ImageEditorDialogShowing/RepositoryItemPictureEdit.ImageEditorDialogShowing event to customize the Image Editor dialog, add custom edit tools, and change the settings of existing edit tools (for instance, add custom aspect ratios for crop operations).
