Remarks

The default Edit Form layout is created automatically, based on the options provided by the GridView.OptionsEditForm and GridColumn.OptionsEditForm properties. The Edit Form‘s space is divided into layout columns and rows. The total number of layout columns within an Edit Form is specified by the EditFormColumnCount property. By default, it’s set to three.

Each grid column is represented within an Edit Form by an appropriate inplace editor and caption. Each editor occupies a specific default number of layout columns and rows that depend on an editor type. The number of layout columns and layout rows an editor spans can be customized via the OptionsColumnEditForm.ColumnSpan and OptionsColumnEditForm.RowSpan property. See the Modify and Validate Cell Values topic for more information.

The following pictures show an Edit Form when the EditFormColumnCount property is set to two and four respectively.
