PropertyGridControl.ShowingEditor Event

Enables you to prevent an end-user from activating editors of individual properties.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.PropertyGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.PropertyGrid.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.PropertyGrid

#Declaration

public event ShowingPropertyGridEditorEventHandler ShowingEditor

#Event Data

The ShowingEditor event's data class is DevExpress.Xpf.PropertyGrid.ShowingPropertyGridEditorEventArgs.

#Remarks

The ShowingEditor event is raised before the property editor is activated, allowing you to cancel the action and prevent its value from being edited. To do this, set the event parameter’s Cancel property to false.

See the example below.

private void pGrid_ShowingEditor(object sender, DevExpress.Xpf.PropertyGrid.ShowingPropertyGridEditorEventArgs e) {
            if ((e.Row.Header == "Title") && ((string)pGrid.GetRowValueByRowPath("Group") == "Part-time"))
                e.Cancel = true;
        }
