Using the Attribute Window as a Dialog

[MartinMayer1]

Hello,

I would like to use the Attribute Editor as a Dialog like it is used if you check the Checkbox at "Editor - Editing Options - Attributes" or at least control this Checkbox programmatically.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]12756[/ATTACH]

After several days searching Google and the API Reference i was wondering if someone of you has an Idea.


The Idea behind is using a list of EditTemplates with default Values where only a few Attributes have to be edited by the User.
Most will be filled by the EditTemplate but the User has to explicit press the OK Button to indicate he checked the other Attributes.

Some EditTemplates may fill all Attributes, so the User doesn't need to edit any attribute and the Editor shouldn't show.
The Field visibility is controlled by a xml and will be set before opening the dialog.

Thanks in advance.
