All Implemented Interfaces:

public class EditContext extends BaseClass implements HasEditMaskClickedHandlers, HasEditNodeUpdatedHandlers, HasNodeAddedHandlers, HasSelectedEditNodesUpdatedHandlers
An EditContext provides an editing environment for a set of components.

An EditContext is typically populated by adding a series of `EditNodes` created via a `Palette`, either via drag and drop creation, or when loading from a saved version, via `addFromPaletteNode()` or `addPaletteNodesFromXML()`.

An EditContext then provides interfaces for further editing of the components represented by EditNodes.

Developers may explicitly define an edit context and initialize it with a `rootComponent` - the root of the user interface being created. The EditContext itself is not visible to the user, but the root component's `liveObject` may be.
As child editNodes are added to the rootComponent node or its descendants, liveObjects in the user will update to reflect these changes. The live objects for the edit nodes will be nested using the appropriate parent-child relationships, for the types of node in question. For example Canvases will be added as `members` of layouts and FormItems will be added as `fields` of DynamicForms.

To enable drag and drop creation of widgets from a `Palette`, a developer can use `Canvas.setEditMode()` to enable editing behaviors on the live object of the desired drop target (typically the root component).
To enable editNode creation via double-click on a `Palette`, developers can set the `Palette.defaultEditContext`.

Developers can also make use of `EditPane` or `EditTree` classes which provide a visual interface for managing an EditContext.

    Returns:
      `EditContext` instance, for chaining setter calls

  - ### getAllowDropThrough

  - ### addNode

    public EditNode addNode(EditNode newNode)
    Add a new `EditNode` to the EditContext, under the specified parent. If the parentNode is not provided it will be determined from `defaultParent`.

    The EditContext will interrogate the parent and new nodes to determine what field within the parent allows a child of this type, and to find a method to add the newNode's liveObject to the parentNode's liveObject. The new relationship will then be stored in the tree of EditNodes.

    For example, when a Tab is dropped on a TabSet, the field TabSet.tabs is discovered as the correct target field via naming conventions, and the method TabSet.addTab() is likewise discovered as the correct method to add a Tab to a TabSet.

    Parameters:
      `newNode` - new node to be added
    Returns:
      newNodenode added

    public EditNode addNode(EditNode newNode, EditNode parentNode, Integer index, String parentProperty, Boolean skipParentComponentAdd, Boolean forceSingularFieldReplace)
    Add a new `EditNode` to the EditContext, under the specified parent. If the parentNode is not provided it will be determined from `defaultParent`.

    The EditContext will interrogate the parent and new nodes to determine what field within the parent allows a child of this type, and to find a method to add the newNode's liveObject to the parentNode's liveObject. The new relationship will then be stored in the tree of EditNodes.

    For example, when a Tab is dropped on a TabSet, the field TabSet.tabs is discovered as the correct target field via naming conventions, and the method TabSet.addTab() is likewise discovered as the correct method to add a Tab to a TabSet.

    Parameters:
      `newNode` - new node to be added
      `parentNode` - parent to add the new node under.
      `index` - index within the parent's children array

    public void addPaletteNodeFormItemConstructors(Tree nodeTree)
    Add `PaletteNode` constructors for the specific type of `FormItem` that will be created to the paletteNodes in the specified tree created by `createPaletteNodeTree()`.

    Normally, the specific FormItem is applied from the DataSource and DataBoundComponent at time of use but there are times when having the explicit constructor on the paletteNodes is helpful such as for validation or serialization.

    Note that the paletteNodes are updated in place.

    Parameters:
      `nodeTree` - tree of PaletteNodes

  - ### addPaletteNodesFromJS

    public void addPaletteNodesFromJS(String jsCode)

      `editNode` - the editNode to use to make a paletteNode

    Parameters:
