BaseView.ActiveEditor Property
Gets the active editor within a View.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v19.1.dll
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| BaseEdit | A BaseEdit descendant representing the active editor within the current View. null (Nothing in Visual Basic) if no cell is being edited at the moment. |
Remarks
This property is used to access properties and methods of the active cell editor within the current View. However, as implemented in the BaseEdit class, the ActiveEditor property returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic). This property is overridden in derived classes to return a proper value.
Note
Detail pattern Views do not contain data and they are never displayed within XtraGrid. So, the ActiveEditor member must not be invoked for these Views. The ActiveEditor member can only be used with real Views that are displayed within the Grid Control. The real Views with which an end-user interacts at runtime can be accessed using the following methods.
- GridControl.MainView - returns the top most View in a grid;
- GridControl.FocusedView - returns the focused View;
- GridControl.DefaultView - returns the currently maximized View;
- the sender parameter of View specific events;
- GridView.GetDetailView - returns a detail clone View for a specific master row.
