How to set EditorPart header in SharePoint WebParts?

Question

I m trying to set the header for the custom Editor Part section. Any ideas how to do it?

Answer 1

EditorPart Class:

public class YourCustomEditorPart:System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.EditorPart{
   protected override void CreateChildControls() {
      this.Title = "Editor Part Title Here";
      ...
   }
}

Tell the web part that it should use this editor part, instead of the attributed properties.

WebPart Class:

public class YourWebPart:System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart, IWebEditable {
...
EditorPartCollection IWebEditable.CreateEditorParts() {
    // control the editorparts
    List<EditorPart> editors = new List<EditorPart>();
    YourCustomEditorPart editorPart = new YourCustomEditorPart();
    editorPart.ID = this.ID + "_editorPart";
    editors.Add(editorPart);
    return new EditorPartCollection(editors);
    }
...
}
