Remarks

This CoClass represents the default property inspector associated with the Editor. It has been made CoCreateable so that customized feature inspectors can incorporate it.

To create your own custom property inspector for a specific feature class, implement the IFeatureInspector interface. For example, you may want to have a custom Property Inspector that displays the area and perimeter of selected polygons or one that displays an image relating to the selected feature.

To create your own custom property inspector for features in a specific feature class, implement the IObjectInspector and IClassExtension interfaces, then add your extension’s GUID to the EXTCLSID field for that feature class in the GDB_ObjectClasses table. When the user opens the Attributes dialog box, it will display the custom inspector instead of the default inspector.

Instantiate a new FeatureInspector when you want to incorporate the default Property Inspector with your custom one.
