When To Use

The IEditProperties interface is used to manage all of the properties an edit session has. Properties include: AutoSaveOnVersion, ReportPrecision, SelectedVertexSymbol, SketchSymbol, SketchVertexSymbol, SnapSymbol, StreamGroupingCount, StreamTolerance, and StretchGeometry.

Members

Description
Read/write property AutoSaveOnVersionRedefined Indicates whether the stop editing process should automatically reconcile an edit session and save the version without notification.
Read/write property ReportPrecision Controls the number of decimal places the editor reports numbers with.
Read/write property SelectedVertexSymbol Symbol used to draw the active vertex of the edit sketch.
Read/write property SketchSymbol Symbol used to draw the lines of the edit sketch.
Read/write property SketchVertexSymbol Symbol used to draw the vertices of the edit sketch.
Read/write property SnapSymbol Symbol used to draw the snap location.
Read/write property StreamGroupingCount Controls the number of points to group together when streaming.
Read/write property StreamTolerance Controls the streaming tolerance, measured in map units.
Read/write property StretchGeometry Indicates if the edit sketch is stretched when one of its vertices is moved.

CoClasses and Classes Description
Editor The Object Editor Extension.
[C#]

This sample assums you have a reference to IEditor from the
OnCreate method in the code (IEditor m_editor).

 private void ChangeSketchSymbol()
    {
      IEditProperties editProperties;
      editProperties = m_editor as IEditProperties;
      ILineSymbol lineSymbol = new SimpleLineSymbol();
      IRgbColor sketchColor = new RgbColorClass();
      sketchColor.Red = 255;
      lineSymbol.Color = sketchColor;
      editProperties.SketchSymbol = lineSymbol;
    }

[Visual Basic .NET]
This sample assums you have a reference to IEditor from the 
OnCreate method in the code (Private m_editor as IEditor).
Private Sub ChangeSketchSymbol()
Dim editProperties As IEditProperties
editProperties = m_editor
Dim lineSymbol As ILineSymbol
Dim rColor As IRgbColor
  'Change the sketch symbol to use a red line
lineSymbol = New SimpleLineSymbol
rColor = New RgbColor
rColor.Red = 255
lineSymbol.Color = rColor
editProperties.SketchSymbol = lineSymbol
End Sub
