Remarks
The RepositoryItemLookUpEdit class specifies settings specific to a LookUpEdit control. You can access these settings via the editor’s LookUpEdit.Properties object.
The repository item provides properties, methods and events to customize the editor’s behavior and appearance. For instance, you can specify:
- source of dropdown rows (RepositoryItemLookUpEditBase.DataSource)
- field whose data is displayed in the edit box (RepositoryItemLookUpEditBase.DisplayMember)
- field which matches the edit value (RepositoryItemLookUpEditBase.ValueMember)
- collection of columns to display in the dropdown (RepositoryItemLookUpEdit.Columns)
- width of the dropdown window (RepositoryItemLookUpEdit.PopupWidth), etc.
The RepositoryItemLookUpEdit.PopulateColumns method allows you create columns for available fields in the RepositoryItemLookUpEditBase.DataSource. To modify their width, you can call the RepositoryItemLookUpEdit.BestFit method.
You should create repository items as standalone objects only to specify inplace editors for container controls (such as the XtraGrid).
