TreeViewControl.AllowEditing Property

Gets or sets whether users can edit node values. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

C#

public bool AllowEditing { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property AllowEditing As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false	true to allow users to edit node values; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The TreeViewControl uses an in-place editor that depends on its content.

Use the EditSettings property to manually define an editor.

Handle the ValidateNode event to validate new node values.

Use the ShowingEditor event to prevent the activation of a node’s editor.

In unbound mode, users cannot edit nodes of simple types (string, integer, etc.). To allow users to edit an unbound tree, set an object as the node’s content.

C#

public class ProjectObject {
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

VB.NET

Public Class ProjectObject
    Public Property Name As String
End Class
