Public Overridable Property EditValue As Object

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Object	null	An object representing the editor’s value.

Remarks

Setting this property to a new value raises the RepositoryItem.EditValueChanging event. The RepositoryItem.EditValueChanged event fires after the EditValue property value has been changed.

Use the BaseEdit.Text property to obtain the editor’s text representation of this value.

Example

The following example binds a CalcEdit editor to the Freight field in a data source (OrdersBindingSource).

C#

calcEdit1.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("EditValue", ordersBindingSource, "Freight", true));

VB.NET

CalcEdit1.DataBindings.Add(New System.Windows.Forms.Binding("EditValue", OrdersBindingSource, "Freight", True))

Example

The following example uses the EditValue property to select the first lookup row in a LookUpEdit control.

C#

private void btnSelectRow_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    lookUpEdit1.EditValue = lookUpEdit1.Properties.GetDataSourceValue(lookUpEdit1.Properties.KeyMember, 0);
}

VB.NET

Private Sub btnSelectRow_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnSelectRow.Click
    lookUpEdit1.EditValue = lookUpEdit1.Properties.GetDataSourceValue(lookUpEdit1.Properties.KeyMember, 0)
End Sub
