The built-in Edit Form allows users to edit grid data. Set the ASPxGridView’s ASPxGridViewEditingSettings.Mode property to EditForm , EditFormAndDisplayRow , or PopupEditForm to display the Edit Form in the ASPxGridView.
The Edit Form is displayed in the image below.
This form displays the Cancel / Update commands that allow users to discard/save changes and edit cells. An edit cell corresponds to a data column and allows users to change the column’s value in the edited row.
An edit cell displays a column caption and the corresponding editor. Use a column’s EditFormSettings property to access settings that allow you to set the position, caption location, visibility, and size of the corresponding edit cell. These settings are listed in the table below.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| CaptionLocation | Specifies the column caption’s location. |
| Visible | Specifies the edit cell’s visibility. If this property is set to ‘Default’, the edit cell’s visibility depends on the visibility of the data column to which it corresponds. |
| VisibleIndex | Specifies the edit cell’s position among other edit cells within the Edit Form. |
| ColumnSpan | Specifies the number of edit form columns that the cell spans. |
| RowSpan | Specifies the number of edit form rows that the edit cell spans. |
Use the GridViewTemplates.EditForm template to create a custom layout for the Edit Form.
