Force the command to use a command template other than
the current one.

an editor is created in the create callback of a scripted panel it
will belong to that panel. If an editor doesn't belong to a panel
it will be deleted when the window that it is in is deleted.

have an effect if the editor is currently un-parented.

Specifies that the editor should be removed from its layout.
This cannot be used with query.
|
|
control(ctl)

Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object which the
editor will use as its source of content. The editor will only
display items contained in the selectionConnection object. This is
a variant of the -mainListConnection flag in that it will force a

reduce the overhead when using the -unlockMainConnection

succession.
|
|
selectionConnection(slc)
|
string
|
 
|

Unlocks the mainConnection, effectively restoring the original
mainConnection (if it is still available), and dynamic updates.
|
