Using Enter Value Dialog

• Aug 02, 2022

This topic describes the Enter value dialog. It allows editing using a specific editor embedded into an editor container bar item (TcxBarEditItem) under the following conditions:

• At design time, if its initial data needs to be entered into an editor;

• At runtime, if an editor is replaced with the button when the bar is shown vertically (when it’s docked to the left or right edge of the form).

To display the Enter value dialog at design time:

1. Click the appropriate editor link to display its properties in the Object Inspector.

2. When in the Object Inspector, click an ellipsis button next to the TcxCustomBarEditItem.EditValue property to invoke the Enter value dialog. Enter the required initial value.

To display the Enter value dialog at runtime, click the caption of an appropriate editor. The Enter value dialog will be displayed. Enter data.
