Studio Developer Manual / Version 2010
Table Of ContentsThe CAE sometimes renders fallbacks if a content property is not set, for example, by using a value of another property instead. To visualize this in Studio, you may use content of a property editor from another property editor as the default empty text.
This is currently possible for a few property fields. One is the StringPropertyField
and the
other one is the TextAreaPropertyField
. While the StringPropertyField
may inherit its
content from another StringPropertyField
, the TextAreaPropertyField
may inherit its content
from a StringPropertyField
or a RichTextPropertyField
.
In order to use this visualization, you may use the StringPropertyFieldDelegationPlugin
or the
TextAreaPropertyFieldDelegationPlugin
attached to the property field that should inherit the value.
