drawControl

  • Article

Specifies what control to use when simply displaying the property. There should be only one drawControl element for each displayInfo element.

If there are multiple elements, the last one is used. If no drawControl element is provided, then the default attribute settings are applied to the property description.

This form of the control does not allow for property editing.
