DropDownBoxQueryDisplayTextContext Class

Stores information about editor value and text.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

#Declaration

C#
public class DropDownBoxQueryDisplayTextContext

#Remarks

The DxDropDownBox‘s input element is read-only for users. When you specify editor Value programmatically, implement the QueryDisplayText function to define how the editor value is displayed in the input element.

The function encapsulates an object of the DropDownBoxQueryDisplayTextContext type that contains the editor value (Value) and the previous input text (DisplayText).
