CheckEdit editOneWay;
DateEdit editDeparture;
DateEdit editReturn;

private void TreeList1_EditFormPrepared(object sender, DevExpress.XtraTreeList.EditFormPreparedEventArgs e) {
    editDeparture = e.BindableControls["Departure"] as DateEdit;
    editReturn = e.BindableControls["Return"] as DateEdit;
    editOneWay = e.BindableControls["One Way"] as CheckEdit;
    if (editOneWay != null)
        editOneWay.EditValueChanging += EditOneWay_EditValueChanging;
    if(editDeparture != null)
        editDeparture.EditValueChanged += EditDeparture_EditValueChanged;
}

private void EditDeparture_EditValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    editReturn.Properties.MinValue = (DateTime)editDeparture.EditValue;
}

private void EditOneWay_EditValueChanging(object sender, DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.ChangingEventArgs e) {
    if ((bool)e.NewValue)
        editReturn.Enabled = false;
    else
        editReturn.Enabled = true;
}

private void TreeList1_EditFormHidden(object sender, DevExpress.XtraTreeList.EditFormHiddenEventArgs e) {
    if (editOneWay != null)
        editOneWay.EditValueChanging -= EditOneWay_EditValueChanging;
    if(editDeparture != null)
        editDeparture.EditValueChanged -= EditDeparture_EditValueChanged;
    editOneWay = null;
    editDeparture = null;
    editReturn = null;
}

The code below shows how to prevent the Edit Form from being shown in a particular case, focus an editor in the Edit Form, subscribe to the editor’s events, and get the clicked button when the Edit Form is closed.

using DevExpress.XtraEditors;
using DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls;
using DevExpress.XtraTreeList;

// Prevents the Edit Form from being shown depending on the cell data.
private void treeList1_EditFormShowing(object sender, DevExpress.XtraTreeList.EditFormShowingEventArgs e) {
    if (e.Node.GetValue(colCity).Equals("Berlin"))
        e.Allow = false;
}
// Focuses the editor in the Edit Form that corresponds to the column focused in the Tree List.
// Subscribes to an editor's events.
private void treeList1_EditFormPrepared(object sender, DevExpress.XtraTreeList.EditFormPreparedEventArgs e) {
    TreeList treeList = sender as TreeList;
    Control editor = e.BindableControls[treeList.FocusedColumn];
    if (editor != null) {
        editor.Focus();
        ((IContainerControl)e.Panel).ActivateControl(editor);
    }

    TextEdit textEdit = e.BindableControls[colCity] as TextEdit;
    if (textEdit != null)
        textEdit.EditValueChanging += TextEdit_EditValueChanging;
}
private void TextEdit_EditValueChanging(object sender, ChangingEventArgs e) {
    // ...
}
// Unsubscribes from the editor's events.
// Shows a message depending on the clicked button.
private void treeList1_EditFormHidden(object sender, DevExpress.XtraTreeList.EditFormHiddenEventArgs e) {
   TextEdit textEdit = e.BindableControls[colCity] as TextEdit;
    if (textEdit != null)
        textEdit.EditValueChanging -= TextEdit_EditValueChanging;
    if (e.Result == EditFormResult.Update)
        XtraMessageBox.Show("Changes are successfully saved.");
