Editable Shortcut Controls

Question

Does anyone know how I can create an editable label control? I need my users to be able to edit shortcuts (also change parts of his style information), but have not found any useful information anywhere on the Internet.

Any help is generally appreciated

thank

Answer 1

You can create a custom control (it takes some work). The control can have standard control over the label inside, and when the user clicks the label (or goes into edit mode in some way), you can create an instance of the text box control and show it where the label control was. Thus, the user will get the illusion that the label control is turning into a text field. The user can edit the text of the labels in the text field, and when editing is finished, all you have to do is hide the text field and apply the changes to the text of the label.

If you also need to edit styles, you will have to display a panel with all the editable settings, and not with a single text field.
