Remarks

To supply a custom in-place editor to the SpreadsheetControl’s cell, a specific repository item should be created. A repository item is a RepositoryItem class descendant that stores properties and events related to a specific editor. It has all the information required for creating a corresponding fully-functional editor. Refer to the Editors and Simple Controls topic for details on the repository technology.
