DxTreeListDataColumn.EditSettings Property

Allows you to customize the editor associated with this column.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

C#

[Parameter]
public RenderFragment EditSettings { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
RenderFragment	Cell editor settings.

Remarks

The TreeList component generates and configures cell editors for columns based on associated data types. The component automatically displays column editors in the filter row and in data rows during edit operations. You can also place these editors in the edit form or pop-up edit form.

Declare an object that contains editor settings in the <EditSettings> tag. This is how you can customize the default editor or replace it with another editor. If the editor does not support the associated data type, the TreeList replaces it with a read-only text box.

The table below list classes that define cell editor settings and the corresponding data types:

Editor Settings	Generated for Data Types	Supported Data Types
DxCheckBoxSettings[1]	Boolean	All data types
DxComboBoxSettings	Enum	All data types
DxDateEditSettings	DateOnly, DateTime, DateTimeOffset	DateOnly, DateTime, DateTimeOffset
DxMaskedInputSettings	Never generated	Numeric, String, TimeSpan, TimeOnly, DateTime, DateOnly, DateTimeOffset
DxMemoSettings	Never generated	String
DxSpinEditSettings	Numeric	Numeric
DxTextBoxSettings	String	String
DxTimeEditSettings	TimeOnly	TimeOnly, TimeSpan, DateTime

Handle the TreeList’s CustomizeFilterRowEditor event to customize editors in the filter row. The CustomizeDataRowEditor event allows you to customize editors displayed in data rows, edit forms, or pop-up edit forms. At runtime, call the GetColumnEditSettings<T>(String) to access and customize editor settings.

In the following code snippet, the Task column’s markup contains the DxTextBoxSettings object that customizes the automatically generated editor.
