How do I override built in property?
Hi
It's possible to register controls for the PropertyControlClassFactory in web.config. But that works on a property type level, i.e. replacing the property controls for an entire class, in this case PropertyString. Doing it for just one specific property is trickier.
Perhaps you could register a custom control for all PropertyStrings and check if the current property is PageURLSegment. If so, add your special logic, and if not, use the default handling.

Thanks. I did a short test and it seem to work the way you described with PropertyControlClassFactory and special logic for a specific property name.

This is also a way of changing a built in property

Is there any way to override a built in property i in EPiServer? What I want to do is to use e.g. the built in property PageURLSegment (Page name in web address) but I want to add some javascript and a small icon beside the input-field in the edit-mode.
I'm thinking about to implement a custom property control that include some javascript and image. But I cannot find any way to tell EPiServer to use that costom property control for the property PageURLSegment.
