BarEditItem.EditSettings Property

Gets or sets the edit settings for the item, based upon which an in-place editor is created. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Bars

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Core.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Core

Declaration

C#

public BaseEditSettings EditSettings { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property EditSettings As BaseEditSettings

Property Value

Type	Description
BaseEditSettings	A BaseEditSettings object.

Remarks

To display a specific in-place editor within bars, create a BarEditItem object and assign a BaseEditSettings descendant instance to the EditSettings property. The type of the assigned object will specify the type of the in-place editor created. The created editor can be accessed via the BarEditItemLink.Editor property.

To provide values for the in-place editor, use the BarEditItem.EditValue property. The BarEditItem.EditValueChanged event allows you to respond to changing the edit value.

Example

This example shows how to embed in-place editors into a bar using BarEditItem objects. Two editors (DateEdit and SpinEdit) are added with the BarEditItem.EditSettings property. Values for the editors are provided using the BarEditItem.EditValue property.

The following image shows the result:
