CardView.ShowEditor() Method
Invokes the focused cell’s editor.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Card
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v24.2.dll
NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.Grid, DevExpress.Win.Navigation
#Declaration
#Remarks
The method is called automatically when end-users click a cell or press the ENTER or SPACE key when a cell is focused. You can call this method manually to facilitate user input. For instance, you may want to switch the View to edit mode at application startup. Another example can be implementing custom cell editing order with respect to data entered by end-users. Note that you will need to focus the desired cell before calling the ShowEditor
method. Use the ColumnView.FocusedColumn and ColumnView.FocusedRowHandle properties for this purpose.
Note: a cell editor cannot be activated (the user cannot edit the focused cell’s value) in the following cases:
- The ColumnViewOptionsBehavior.Editable option is disabled. This option can be accessed via the View’s CardView.OptionsBehavior property.
- The owning column’s OptionsColumn.AllowEdit property is set to false. This option can be accessed via the column’s GridColumn.OptionsColumn property.
- The ColumnView.ShowingEditor event handler prohibits you from invoking the editor.
