Overview

The ListBoxEdit is a control that allows end-users to select items from a list. The ListBoxEdit control supports multiple operation modes.

The ListBoxEdit control offers the following features.

• Multiple operation modes

  The ListBoxEdit control supports the following operation modes.

  • Simple item list
  • Checked list box
  • Radio button list box

• Optional item highlighting

  Use the ListBoxEdit.AllowItemHighlighting property to control the highlighting behavior.

• Multiple items selection

  Use the ListBoxEdit.SelectionMode property to switch between Multiple and Single selection modes.

• Optimized for in-place editing

  ListBoxEdit can be used standalone or as an in-place editor nested in a container control. The ListBoxEditSettings class implements the in-place editing functionality. See In-place Editors to learn more.

Tip

Set the ListBoxEdit.ShowCustomItems property to false to avoid displaying the (Select All) custom item in the Checked List Box mode.

Standalone ListBoxEdit

To add a standalone ListBoxEdit to a Window, drag it from the Toolbox.

The following sample demonstrates how to create a ListBoxEdit using XAML markup.

XAML

<dxe:ListBoxEdit>
    <dxe:ListBoxEdit.StyleSettings>
        <dxe:CheckedListBoxEditStyleSettings/>
    </dxe:ListBoxEdit.StyleSettings>
    <dxe:ListBoxEdit.Items>
        <dxe:ListBoxEditItem>
            Item1
        </dxe:ListBoxEditItem>
        <dxe:ListBoxEditItem>
            Item2
        </dxe:ListBoxEditItem>
        <dxe:ListBoxEditItem>
            Item3
        </dxe:ListBoxEditItem>
    </dxe:ListBoxEdit.Items>
</dxe:ListBoxEdit>

In-place ListBoxEdit

To embed a ListBoxEdit into a container control, use the ListBoxEditSettings class.

The following sample demonstrates how to embed a ListBoxEdit into a GridControl column.

XAML

<dxg:GridControl>
    <dxg:GridColumn Header="Dimensions">
        <dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings>
            <dxe:ListBoxEditSettings>
                <dxe:ListBoxEditSettings.Items>
                    <dxe:ListBoxEditItem>1x1</dxe:ListBoxEditItem>
                    <dxe:ListBoxEditItem>1x2</dxe:ListBoxEditItem>
                    <dxe:ListBoxEditItem>2x2</dxe:ListBoxEditItem>
                    <dxe:ListBoxEditItem>3x3</dxe:ListBoxEditItem>
                    <dxe:ListBoxEditItem>3x4</dxe:ListBoxEditItem>
                    <dxe:ListBoxEditItem>4x4</dxe:ListBoxEditItem>
                </dxe:ListBoxEditSettings.Items>
                <dxe:ListBoxEditSettings.ItemsPanel>
                    <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                        <WrapPanel Height="60" Orientation="Vertical" />
                    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
                </dxe:ListBoxEditSettings.ItemsPanel>
                <dxe:ListBoxEditSettings.StyleSettings>
                    <dxe:RadioListBoxEditStyleSettings />
                </dxe:ListBoxEditSettings.StyleSettings>
            </dxe:ListBoxEditSettings>
        </dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings>
    </dxg:GridColumn>
    <dxg:GridControl.View>
        <dxg:TableView/>
    </dxg:GridControl.View>
</dxg:GridControl>
