Remarks

CanEditType method indicates if the editor natively supports editing values of specified type. Typically there is no need to call this method. It's used by the value editor infrastructure.

Note: CanEditType does not indicate what types can be set on the ValueType property. ValueType property can be set to any type as long as there is conversion logic for converting between the native data type of the editor and that type. For example, XamTextEditor natively supports editing string type only. However its ValueType can be set to Double or DateTime or any type as long as the editor can convert between string and that data type. ValueType can even be set to a custom type. You can provide custom conversion logic using ValueToTextConverter and ValueToDisplayTextConverter properties.
