IEditor.EditState Property

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public ReadOnly Property EditState As esriEditState

[C#]
public esriEditState EditState {get;}

Available with ArcGIS Desktop.

The EditState property communicates the current state of the editor.

EditState uses the esriEditState Constants enumeration to indicate the editor's current state. Valid states are:

esriStateNotEditing               0
esriStateEditing                     1
esriStateEditingUnfocused    2

A good example of using this property is setting the Enabled property on ICommand . 

[C#]

The get_EditState is used to return the enabled property of the tool.

public override bool Enabled
{
  get
  {
    if (m_editor == null)
      return false;
    return (m_editor.EditState == esriEditState.esriStateEditing);
  }
}

 

[Visual Basic .NET]

Public Overrides ReadOnly Property Enabled() As Boolean
  Get
    Return (m_editor.EditState = esriEditState.esriStateEditing)
  End Get
End Property
