We've added a mobile property editor to the following Support Center example: How to show a hyper link (URL, email, etc.) for a business class property. The example demonstrates how to create custom data representations (hyperlinks) for your text properties. To view implementation details, open the example's page and show MobileHyperLinkStringPropertyEditor.cs/vb in the code file selector at the bottom.
If you create and deploy a mobile XAF app using this custom editor, it will look like the following:
We have also published numerous online documentation updates for related mobile and core XAF APIs demonstrated earlier. For instance, the following topics have been updated to describe mobile versions of property editors for various data types:
- String Properties - Numeric Properties - Date and Time Properties - Boolean Properties - Collection Properties - Reference (Foreign Key, Complex Type) Properties - File Attachment Properties - Enumeration Properties - Type Properties
In addition to screenshots and text descriptions, the most interesting information for developers would be links to corresponding DevExtreme widgets on which these mobile property editors are based on. This documentation is not yet finished, and we hope to provide more information on extending the standard XAF mobile UI with custom-tailored editors in the coming weeks.
Additionally, we have improved documentation that helps explain how you can register XAF property editors:
In particular, the EditorAlias-based approach is demonstrated in the aforementioned example.
