public:
 abstract System::Activities::Presentation::Model::ModelEditingScope ^ BeginEdit();
public abstract System.Activities.Presentation.Model.ModelEditingScope BeginEdit ();
abstract member BeginEdit : unit -> System.Activities.Presentation.Model.ModelEditingScope
Public MustOverride Function BeginEdit () As ModelEditingScope

Returns

A ModelEditingScope, which must be either completed or reverted.

Remarks

An editing scope allows multiple changes to the model to be applied as a single transaction. All of the changes made within the editing scope can be reverted at any time before the transaction is completed.

Editing scopes are global to the designer. An editing scope can be created for any item in the designer; you do not need to create an editing scope for the specific item you are changing.
