PropertyGridControl.ShowEditor(Boolean) Method

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.PropertyGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.PropertyGrid.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.PropertyGrid

Declaration

C#

public void ShowEditor(
    bool selectAll = false
)

VB.NET

Public Sub ShowEditor(
    selectAll As Boolean = False
)

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
selectAll	Boolean	False	true to select the editor’s content; otherwise, false.

Remarks

To programmatically activate the cell’s editor, you should focus the cell and call the ShowEditor method. This method raises the PropertyGridControl.ShowingEditor event, allowing you to prevent showing editors for individual cells, thus preventing their values from being edited. After the editor has been shown, the property grid fires the PropertyGridControl.ShownEditor event.
