  6. EditorInspectorPlugin
  7. =====================
  8. **Inherits:** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :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.

  43. Method Descriptions
  44. -------------------
  45. .. _class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method__can_handle:
  46. - :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **_can_handle** **(** :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` object **)** |virtual| |const|
  47. Returns ``true`` if this object can be handled by this plugin.
  48. ----
  49. .. _class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method__parse_begin:
  50. - void **_parse_begin** **(** :ref:`Object<class_Object>` object **)** |virtual|
  51. Called to allow adding controls at the beginning of the property list for ``object``.
  52. ----
  53. .. _class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method__parse_category:
  54. - void **_parse_category** **(** :ref:`Object<class_Object>` object, :ref:`String<class_String>` category **)** |virtual|
  55. Called to allow adding controls at the beginning of a category in the property list for ``object``.
  56. ----
  57. .. _class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method__parse_end:
  58. - void **_parse_end** **(** :ref:`Object<class_Object>` object **)** |virtual|
  59. Called to allow adding controls at the end of the property list for ``object``.
  60. ----
  61. .. _class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method__parse_group:
  62. - void **_parse_group** **(** :ref:`Object<class_Object>` object, :ref:`String<class_String>` group **)** |virtual|
  63. Called to allow adding controls at the beginning of a group or a sub-group in the property list for ``object``.
  64. ----
  65. .. _class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method__parse_property:
  66. - :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **_parse_property** **(** :ref:`Object<class_Object>` object, :ref:`int<class_int>` type, :ref:`String<class_String>` name, :ref:`int<class_int>` hint_type, :ref:`String<class_String>` hint_string, :ref:`int<class_int>` usage_flags, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` wide **)** |virtual|
  67. Called to allow adding property-specific editors to the property list for ``object``. The added editor control must extend :ref:`EditorProperty<class_EditorProperty>`. Returning ``true`` removes the built-in editor for this property, otherwise allows to insert a custom editor before the built-in one.
  68. ----
  69. .. _class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method_add_custom_control:
  70. - void **add_custom_control** **(** :ref:`Control<class_Control>` control **)**
  71. Adds a custom control, which is not necessarily a property editor.
  72. ----
  73. .. _class_EditorInspectorPlugin_method_add_property_editor:
  74. - void **add_property_editor** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` property, :ref:`Control<class_Control>` editor **)**

  82. .. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
  83. .. |constructor| replace:: :abbr:`constructor (This method is used to construct a type.)`
  84. .. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
