Public Property CellTemplate As DataTemplate

Property Value

Type	Description
DataTemplate	A DataTemplate object that defines the presentation of data cells.

Remarks

When using CellTemplate note the following:

• To enable data editing, use an editor shipped with the DevExpress WPF Data Editors Library. The editor’s Name must be set to ‘PART_Editor‘.
• An in-place editor specified via PropertyDefinition.EditSettings is ignored.

The following example demonstrates how to use the CellTemplate property to specify the required editor for a property grid cell.
