Included Components
- 4 minutes to read
The WPF Data Editors library contains a set of editors and simple controls that can be used in WPF applications. Each editor provides a specific functionality that is required for editing data values of a certain type.
In the Visual Studio IDE, all Data Editors and Simple Controls components are available on the DX.23.2.WPF: Common Controls toolbox tab.
You can use the Data Editors in the following ways.
As a standalone control
The code sample below demonstrates how to use the BarCodeEdit control to display a bar code.
<Window ... xmlns:dxe="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/editors"> <dxe:BarCodeEdit Width="150" Height="60" EditValue="9780470500835"> <dxe:BarCodeEdit.StyleSettings> <dxe:EAN13StyleSettings /> </dxe:BarCodeEdit.StyleSettings> </dxe:BarCodeEdit>The image below demonstrates the result.
As an in-place control
Most of DevExpress WPF data editors can be seamlessly nested in GridControl cells, Bar items, PropertyGrid cells, etc. For more information, see In-Place Mode.
The code sample below demonstrates how to display barcodes within the GridControl using the in-place BarCodeEdit editors.
<Window ... xmlns:dxe="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/editors" xmlns:dxg="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/grid"> <dxg:GridControl Name="grid"> <dxg:GridControl.View> <dxg:TableView /> </dxg:GridControl.View> <dxg:GridControl.Columns> <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="ProductName" /> <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="QuantityPerUnit"/> <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="UnitPrice"/> <dxg:GridColumn FieldName="EAN13" > <dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings> <!-- The BarCodeEditSettings objects allows you to --> <!-- fully customize the in-place BarCodeEdit settings --> <dxe:BarCodeEditSettings ShowText="False"> <dxe:BarCodeEditSettings.StyleSettings> <dxe:EAN13StyleSettings /> </dxe:BarCodeEditSettings.StyleSettings> </dxe:BarCodeEditSettings> </dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings> </dxg:GridColumn> </dxg:GridControl.Columns> </dxg:GridControl>The image below demonstrates the result.
