.. rst-class:: classref-section-separator

----

.. rst-class:: classref-descriptions-group

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

.. _class_EditorProperty_private_method__set_read_only:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

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

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| :ref:`🔗<class_EditorProperty_private_method__update_property>`

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**\ (\ control\: :ref:`Control<class_Control>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_EditorProperty_method_add_focusable>`

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

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**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_EditorProperty_method_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| :ref:`🔗<class_EditorProperty_method_get_edited_property>`

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**\ (\ editor\: :ref:`Control<class_Control>`\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_EditorProperty_method_set_bottom_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**\ (\ ) :ref:`🔗<class_EditorProperty_method_update_property>`

Forces refresh of the property display.
