Editors
- 5 minutes to read
All editors support the following features:
- You can bind them to a data field;
- They can all be used for standalone or in-place editing within DevExpress container controls (XtraGrid, XtraVerticalGrid, XtraTreeList, XtraBars, etc). See Repositories and Repository Items to learn how to embed editors into container controls;
- They all use the same Skinning, Style, Look and feel, and Tooltip mechanisms, since they have the same BaseEdit ancestor.
Editor List
The table below lists available editors and corresponding repository items. A repository item is an object that stores properties and events pertaining to a corresponding editor. Container controls use information provided by repository items to create fully-functional editors when required. See the Repositories and Repository Items document for more details.
