To enable editing of other properties and of the behavior of WebPart controls, you can use the other EditorPart controls supplied with the Web Parts control set. These controls include the BehaviorEditorPart, the LayoutEditorPart, and the PropertyGridEditorPart controls. The built-in EditorPart controls provide commonly used editing features for WebPart controls. You can also create a custom editor control by inheriting from the EditorPart class. For a code example, see System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.EditorPart.
