Included Components

  • 4 minutes to read

The WPF Data Editors library contains a set of editors and simple controls that can be used in WPF applications. Each editor provides a specific functionality that is required for editing data values of a certain type.

Toolbox

In the Visual Studio IDE, all Data Editors and Simple Controls components are available on the DX.24.1.WPF: Common Controls toolbox tab.

You can use the Data Editors in the following ways.

  • As a standalone control

    The code sample below demonstrates how to use the BarCodeEdit control to display a bar code.

    <Window ...
        xmlns:dxe="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/editors">
    
    <dxe:BarCodeEdit Width="150" Height="60" EditValue="9780470500835">
        <dxe:BarCodeEdit.StyleSettings>
            <dxe:EAN13StyleSettings />
        </dxe:BarCodeEdit.StyleSettings>
    </dxe:BarCodeEdit>
    

    The image below demonstrates the result.

  • As an in-place control

    Most of DevExpress WPF data editors can be seamlessly nested in GridControl cells, Bar items, PropertyGrid cells, etc. For more information, see In-Place Mode.

    The code sample below demonstrates how to display barcodes within the GridControl using the in-place BarCodeEdit editors.

    <Window ...
        xmlns:dxe="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/editors"
        xmlns:dxg="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/grid">
    
    <dxg:GridControl Name="grid">
        <dxg:GridControl.View>
            <dxg:TableView />
        </dxg:GridControl.View>
        <dxg:GridControl.Columns>
            <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="ProductName" />
            <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="QuantityPerUnit"/>
            <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="UnitPrice"/>
            <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="EAN13" >
                <dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings>
                    <!-- The BarCodeEditSettings objects allows you to -->
                    <!-- fully customize the in-place BarCodeEdit settings -->
                    <dxe:BarCodeEditSettings ShowText="False">
                        <dxe:BarCodeEditSettings.StyleSettings>
                            <dxe:EAN13StyleSettings />
                        </dxe:BarCodeEditSettings.StyleSettings>
                    </dxe:BarCodeEditSettings>
                </dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings>
            </dxg:GridColumn>
        </dxg:GridControl.Columns>
    </dxg:GridControl>
