Detailed Description

Property editor widget.

This widget allows users to edit the values of a property without having to manually customize the GUI depending on the type of the property being edited.

SDK objects can have three types of properties:

An internal property which maps to an actual property that can be seen in the property editor tool of the application. This type of property is usually obtained from the PropertyList data member.
SDK-only property which does not maps onto an existing property of the encapsulated object. The existence of these types of property is often to make the object interface simpler. All the FBPropertyList-types will fall into this category, except for FBPropertyListObjects.
SDK property which maps onto an existing object property, but does so indirectly using function calls instead of direct property access. This is usually for historical reason. In this case the property will usually be present twice in the PropertyList: once as an SDK-Only property and another time as an internal property.

Another limitation of this widget is that it can only display non hidden internal properties. To get around this issue, the property flag can be changed to unhide it. Doing so will also cause the property to be visible via the property tool.

       // In a tool header file...
       FBEditProperty mEditProperty;

       // In a tool source file...
       HFBModel lModel = FBFindModelByName( "ModelName" );
       if( lModel )
       {
           HFBProperty lProperty = lModel->PropertyList.Find( "RotationOrder" );
           if( lProperty &&
               lProperty->IsInternal() &&
               !lProperty->GetPropertyFlag( kFBPropertyFlagHideProperty ))
           {
               mEditProperty.Property = lProperty;
           }
       }
