InplaceEditorEventArgs.InplaceEditorEx Property

Gets or sets the in-place editor which is invoked when an end-user adds a new appointment or edits an existing one “in place”.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraScheduler

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraScheduler.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public ISchedulerInplaceEditorEx InplaceEditorEx { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property InplaceEditorEx As ISchedulerInplaceEditorEx

Property Value

Type	Description
ISchedulerInplaceEditorEx	A ISchedulerInplaceEditorEx object which represents the in-place editor.

Remarks

By default, the SchedulerControl uses its internal in-place editor, which is inherited from the TextBox class. However, if you’re not satisfied with the current in-place editor, you can create your own custom in-place editor and assign it to the InplaceEditorEventArgs.InplaceEditorEx property.

View Example

Form1.cs

private void SchedulerControl1_InplaceEditorShowing(object sender, InplaceEditorEventArgs e) {
    e.InplaceEditorEx = new MyInplaceEditorControl(e.SchedulerInplaceEditorEventArgs);
}

Form1.vb

Private Sub SchedulerControl1_InplaceEditorShowing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As InplaceEditorEventArgs)
    e.InplaceEditorEx = New MyInplaceEditorControl(e.SchedulerInplaceEditorEventArgs)
End Sub
