DataViewBase.ShowEditor() Method
Activates the focused cell's inplace editor.
Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid
Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v14.2.Core.dll
#Declaration
#Remarks
Cell editors can be activated if the view's DataViewBase.AllowEditing property is set to true and the DataViewBase.NavigationStyle property is set to GridViewNavigationStyle.Cell.
To programmatically activate the cell's editor, you should focus the cell and call the ShowEditor method. This method raises the GridViewBase.ShowingEditor event, allowing you to prevent showing editors for individual cells, thus preventing their values from being edited. After the editor has been shown, the view fires the GridViewBase.ShownEditor event.
After the editor has been shown, it can be obtained using the DataViewBase.ActiveEditor property.
