How Do You Edit a Custom Control?

The documentation is clear on how to make a new custom control but I can't find any documentation on how to edit one.

Rob are you not able to edit the control in Designer once you create it?

Thanks for the quick response. NOTE: I've left most of the text in here even though its moot because I discovered the answer for myself. I talk about that near the bottom of this post.

I have not discovered a way to edit any custom controls. I'm asking:

1. Is it possible to edit them?
2. If so, what action do you take to initiate the editing of them? That is, how does the interface work to open the custom control in the editor?
3. Can you make a copy of an existing CC and then edit that?

Since I put this question in I have been fooling with it. I changed on that had been added to an XPage. The next time I added that control it was changed. So perhaps the design is that if you edit a custom control on a page, the original is changed also. This is not what I would expect but I can see that it might be how they implemented it.

I may be brain damaged from video editing. If you take a clip from the clip bin and put it in the time line, the editor makes a new copy. Then if you change anything in the clip in the time line, the original clip remains unchanged. It's called non-destructive editing.

On the other hand, when I think about Notes sub-forms, if you edit the sub-form anywhere it is changed everywhere. However, the UI let you click on the sub-form in the design navigator and open it in a separate tab for editing.

There's a Custom Control in the Application Navigator on the left side just like all the others. I've been trying to open the CC using the icon in the Controls navigator on the right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been designing with Notes/Domino for 12 years but with XPages for about 2 hours. I've got a lot to learn ... not the least of which is getting use to the new UI design of Eclipse.

Rob - I temporarily set your question back to unanswered as something breaks on IQJam if set to correct. Matt will be looking at the issue on Sunday.
