IEditMember

Remarks

The narrowest contract an EditProperty needs, and deliberately narrower than any of the descriptors that implement it. The inspector's InspectorMember carries headings, ranges, conditions, asset pickers and curve bounds; a graph node's port carries none of those and a settings row carries different ones again. What all three have in common is a name, a type, a read, a write and the command that makes the write undoable — so that is what the pipeline asks for.

⚠ CreateSetCommand is on the member and not on the pipeline, because the member is the only thing that knows both the owner's type and the value's. A pipeline that built the command itself would have to reach for MakeGenericType, which is the one thing the whole descriptor layer exists to avoid — see SetValuesCommand for the boxed fallback an implementation without typed accessors can use instead.

Fields and properties (5)

• string Name

  What the member is called in source, which is what a path names it by.

• string DisplayName

  What a row is labelled.

• Type ValueType

  What it holds.

• bool CanWrite

  Whether it can be written at all.

• bool CoalescesEdits

  Whether consecutive writes collapse into one undo step.

Methods (3)

• object? Read(object owner)

  Reads it, boxing a value type.

• void Write(object owner, object? value)

  Writes it, unboxing a value type.

• IEditorCommand CreateSetCommand(IReadOnlyList<object> targets, object? value, EditorDocument? document)

  Builds the undoable command that sets this member across a selection.
