  6. EditorInspectorPlugin
  7. =====================
  8. **Inherits:** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`
  9. Plugin for adding custom property editors on inspector.
  10. Description
  11. -----------
  12. ``EditorInspectorPlugin`` allows adding custom property editors to :ref:`EditorInspector<class_EditorInspector>`.
  13. When an object is edited, the :ref:`can_handle<class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method_can_handle>` function is called and must return ``true`` if the object type is supported.
  14. If supported, the function :ref:`parse_begin<class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method_parse_begin>` will be called, allowing to place custom controls at the beginning of the class.
  15. Subsequently, the :ref:`parse_category<class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method_parse_category>` and :ref:`parse_property<class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method_parse_property>` are called for every category and property. They offer the ability to add custom controls to the inspector too.
  16. Finally, :ref:`parse_end<class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method_parse_end>` will be called.
  17. On each of these calls, the "add" functions can be called.
  18. To use ``EditorInspectorPlugin``, register it using the :ref:`EditorPlugin.add_inspector_plugin<class_EditorPlugin_method_add_inspector_plugin>` method first.

  48. - void **add_property_editor** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` property, :ref:`Control<class_Control>` editor **)**
  49. Adds a property editor for an individual property. The ``editor`` control must extend :ref:`EditorProperty<class_EditorProperty>`.
  50. ----
  51. .. _class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method_add_property_editor_for_multiple_properties:
  52. - void **add_property_editor_for_multiple_properties** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` label, :ref:`PoolStringArray<class_PoolStringArray>` properties, :ref:`Control<class_Control>` editor **)**
  53. Adds an editor that allows modifying multiple properties. The ``editor`` control must extend :ref:`EditorProperty<class_EditorProperty>`.
  54. ----
  55. .. _class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method_can_handle:
  56. - :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **can_handle** **(** :ref:`Object<class_Object>` object **)** |virtual|
  57. Returns ``true`` if this object can be handled by this plugin.

  61. Called to allow adding controls at the beginning of the list.
  62. ----
  63. .. _class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method_parse_category:
  64. - void **parse_category** **(** :ref:`Object<class_Object>` object, :ref:`String<class_String>` category **)** |virtual|
  65. Called to allow adding controls at the beginning of the category.
  66. ----
  67. .. _class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method_parse_end:
