BaseEdit.DisplayTextConverter Property

Gets or sets a converter for the editor’s display value. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Editors

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Core

Declaration

C#

public IValueConverter DisplayTextConverter { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property DisplayTextConverter As IValueConverter

Property Value

Type	Description
IValueConverter	An object that implements the IValueConverter interface.

Remarks

The editor displays formatted text if the editor value is not being edited (for example, if the editor is not focused or it is read-only). You can use DevExpress Converters or create a custom converter (that implements the IValueConverter interface) to format displayed text.

The following code sample contains a TextEdit bound to a Boolean field. The DisplayTextConverter property displays Yes/No values instead of True/False:

XAML

<dxe:TextEdit EditValue="{Binding IsChecked}"
              IsReadOnly="True"
              DisplayTextConverter="{dxmvvm:BooleanToObjectConverter TrueValue=Yes, FalseValue=No}"/>
