Main features/controls

ParameterCollectionPanel

This is a control based on Eto.Forms Panel-class. This is the main control that handles editing a given ParameterCollection object.

Methods

Here is a list of some interesting methods.

GetParameters()

Call this when you want to get the updated parameters back. This creates a new ParameterCollection-object with all custom converters and other information copied from the original ParameterCollection-object.

ParameterCollectionDialog

This is a dialog that implements the ParameterCollectionPanel and a button to submit and a button to cancel. See this example for how to use this (the variable parameterCollection contains the ParameterCollection):

var dialog = new ParameterCollectionDialog(parameterCollection);
var value = dialog.ShowModal();
if (value != null)
{
	// Submit/OK-button was clicked. The value-variable contains the updated ParameterCollection.
}

Options

The controls let you provide a ParameterCollectionPanelOptions. Here you can define some customisation of how the control looks and works. Most are both self explanatory and well documented in code. Some of theese options can also for a specific parameter if the option AdditionalInfoWillOverride is set to true (default is true). Then one or more of the given parameters below be given in a parameters additionalInfo.

Different options

Here is a list of parameters that can either be defined in ParameterCollectionPanelOptions or as a ParameterCollection (some can only be given in one, while many can be given both ways).

If you define this in a ParameterCollection-ParameterType, the changes will affect all parameters in that ParameterCollection.

Mark that it exist multiple parameters that currently can not be defined in a ParameterCollection. This must be defined in the object directly, and can't be changed via a ParameterCollection. This list only contains the parameters that can be changed.
