.. _class_EditorProperty_signal_property_can_revert_changed:

.. rst-class:: classref-signal

**property_can_revert_changed** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` property, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` can_revert **)**

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_EditorProperty_signal_property_checked:

.. rst-class:: classref-signal

Emit it if you want to mark (or unmark) the value of a property for being saved regardless of being equal to the default value.

The default value is the one the property will get when the node is just instantiated and can come from an ancestor scene in the inheritance/instantiation chain, a script or a builtin class.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_EditorProperty_private_method__set_read_only:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **_set_read_only** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` read_only **)** |virtual|

Called when the read-only status of the property is changed. It may be used to change custom controls into a read-only or modifiable state.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_EditorProperty_private_method__update_property:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **_update_property** **(** **)** |virtual|

When this virtual function is called, you must update your editor.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_EditorProperty_method_add_focusable:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **add_focusable** **(** :ref:`Control<class_Control>` control **)**

If any of the controls added can gain keyboard focus, add it here. This ensures that focus will be restored if the inspector is refreshed.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_EditorProperty_method_emit_changed:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **emit_changed** **(** :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` property, :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` value, :ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` field=&"", :ref:`bool<class_bool>` changing=false **)**

If one or several properties have changed, this must be called. ``field`` is used in case your editor can modify fields separately (as an example, Vector3.x). The ``changing`` argument avoids the editor requesting this property to be refreshed (leave as ``false`` if unsure).

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_EditorProperty_method_get_edited_object:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Object<class_Object>` **get_edited_object** **(** **)**

Gets the edited object.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_EditorProperty_method_get_edited_property:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`StringName<class_StringName>` **get_edited_property** **(** **)** |const|

Gets the edited property. If your editor is for a single property (added via :ref:`EditorInspectorPlugin._parse_property<class_EditorInspectorPlugin_private_method__parse_property>`), then this will return the property.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_EditorProperty_method_set_bottom_editor:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **set_bottom_editor** **(** :ref:`Control<class_Control>` editor **)**

Puts the ``editor`` control below the property label. The control must be previously added using :ref:`Node.add_child<class_Node_method_add_child>`.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_EditorProperty_method_update_property:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

void **update_property** **(** **)**

Forces refresh of the property display.
