On-page Editing for SelectOne and SelectMany Properties
You could do something like this:
[EditorDescriptorRegistration(TargetType = typeof(string), UIHint = "FloatingString")]
public class FloatingStringEditorDescriptor : EditorDescriptor
{
public override void ModifyMetadata(ExtendedMetadata metadata, IEnumerable<Attribute> attributes)
{
base.ModifyMetadata(metadata, attributes);
metadata.CustomEditorSettings["uiWrapperType"] = UiWrapperType.Floating;
}
}
This will create a floating editor for strings values.
Add a UIHint("FloatingString") to the SelectOne and SelectMany properties in your model.
With on-page editing you will now have a floating editor with a dropdown or checkbox list.

This is a problem I ran into when client wants more friendly on-page editing experience so that they won't need to switch between the page view and form view.
So I am adding a lot of Razor code such as "
When I tried to edit thoes fields on page, I didn't get the checkbox list, it was simply rendered as a plain text string (the backing type). Is there a way to use the checkbox list/dropdown from the form view for on-page editing?
