public virtual TextEditStyles TextEditStyle { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DXCategory("Behavior")>
Public Overridable Property TextEditStyle As TextEditStyles

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
TextEditStyles	Standard	The TextEditStyles value determining the editing style.

Available values:

Name	Description
Standard	A button editor works in its normal way. Editing and selecting text is allowed.
HideTextEditor	The text editing region is not visible and the editor displays only buttons contained in the current button editor. If no buttons can be displayed (for instance because of setting the EditorButton.Visible property to False), the editor displays an empty region in this case.
DisableTextEditor	A button editor is displayed in its normal way. However, editing and selecting text is not allowed. If you want to enable a user to select text but disable text modifications, you can set the text editing style to Standard and set the RepositoryItem.ReadOnly property to true.
