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 uses the DisplayTextConverter property to allow users to search and filter grid data by display values of a checked column:

XAML

<dxg:GridColumn FieldName="IsChecked">
    <dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings>
        <!--Use TextEditSettings if you want to also display your custom text in cells-->
        <dxe:CheckEditSettings DisplayTextConverter="{dxmvvm:BooleanToObjectConverter TrueValue=Yes, FalseValue=No}"/>
    </dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings>
</dxg:GridColumn>
