Programming custom editor part SharePoint 2013

Programming custom editor part SharePoint 2013

This example shows how to create a custom editor part.
In the editor part, a ListBox control is binded to the list of the Lists in the current web and on selecting multiple lists, all the items from all the lists aggregated are shown in the webpart as depicted below.

Below is the code for custom webpart class with properties having the [WebBrowsable(false)]

Custom Editor Part skeleton

The below code block shows the custom editor part skeleton.

 public class CustomEditorPart : EditorPart     { 

        public CustomEditorPart()             : base()         {         } 

        protected override void CreateChildControls()         {

            base.CreateChildControls();

Webpart properties [WebBrowsable(true)]

The following controls are generated for the webpart properties OOB for each property type when [WebBrowsable(true)] attribute is used for the webpart property

Type	Control
Boolean	Checkbox
String	TextBox
Enum	DropDown
Int, Float	TextBox
DateTime	TextBox
Unit	TextBox

Webpart Zone

The following are the modes which are available for every webpart placed inside a webpart zone.

• Browse: This is default mode, showing the final page layout.

• Design: In this mode, you can minimize or move Web Parts.

• Edit: In this mode, you can edit the properties of the currently selected Web Part.

• Catalog: This mode shows additional Web Parts that you can add to any zone.

• Connect: This mode allows you to add data connections between Web Parts.
