Property Value

Type	Description
Double	The editor border thickness, in device-independent units.

Remarks

Use the BoxMode property to specify how the editor is displayed. The following modes are supported:

• Outlined—the border is displayed around the entire editor box, corners are rounded.
• Filled—the border is displayed only for the bottom edge of the editor box, the box background is filled with the default color, top corners are rounded.

You can configure the following appearance settings for each type of the editor box:

Outlined:

Filled:

Borders

You can specify the color and thickness of the text editor box. The following table shows default borders of the editor in each state and lists properties that you can use to customize them:

Editor State / Properties	Outlined Editor	Filled Editor
Unfocused: BorderColor BorderThickness
Focused: FocusedBorderColor FocusedBorderThickness
Disabled: DisabledBorderColor DisabledBorderThickness
Error: ErrorColor

The CursorColor property specifies the color of the input cursor. To specify the text color, use the TextColor property.

Background

Use the BackgroundColor and DisabledBackgroundColor properties to set the editor box fill color in the corresponding state.

Property	Outlined Editor	Filled Editor
Default
BackgroundColor = PeachPuff
DisabledBackgroundColor = PeachPuff

Corners

You can adjust edit box corners - all corners of an Outlined text editor, and top corners of a Filled editor (bottom corners are always square). Use the CornerRadius property to change the radius of editor corners:

• Pass a single double value to the CornerRadius structure to set the same radius for all editor corners:

  Xaml

  <dxe:TextEdit x:Name = "textEdit" CornerRadius = "15"/>
  

  C#

  textEdit.CornerRadius = 15;
  

  

• Pass four double values (TopLeft, TopRight, BottomLeft and BottomRight, in this order) to specify each corner radius separately:

  Xaml

  <dxe:TextEdit x:Name = "textEdit" CornerRadius = "20,0,0,0"/>
  

  C#

  textEdit.CornerRadius = new CornerRadius(20,0,0,0);
  

  

The CornerMode property specifies whether the editor corners are cut or rounded. In cut corner mode, the parameters above affect corner bevel size.

Property	Outlined Editor	Filled Editor
Default
CornerRadius = 15 CornerMode = Round
CornerRadius = 15 CornerMode = Cut
