Remarks

Important

This property is hidden in DevExpress installations of version 17.2 and newer. For these versions use the TreeListOptionsBehavior.EditorShowMode property instead.

If the ImmediateEditor is set to true clicking a cell automatically opens the cell’s editor. If the ImmediateEditor property is set to false an in-place edtor is not immediately opened after a cell has been clicked. To open an in-place editor an end-user can click this cell once more or press the F2 or ENTER key. If an alpha-numeric character is pressed within a cell the cell’s editor is automatically opened and the character is passed to the editor.

To prevent data from being edited within the Tree List control set the TreeListOptionsBehavior.Editable property to false.
