Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean

true , if the GridControl’s logic of getting/setting the editor’s value is enabled; otherwise, false.

The default value is true.

Remarks

You can set an editor name to PART_Editor to make GridControl automatically adjust its appearance and synchronize the editor with the source field specified by the ColumnBase.FieldName or ColumnBase.Binding properties.

In v18.2 , we have supported custom editors in GridControl’s cells with navigation and validation support. Now you can use ColumnBase.CellTemplate, ColumnBase.CellDisplayTemplate, and ColumnBase.CellEditTemplate to specify any non-DevExpress and your own custom editors. We have changed the behavior when a cell editor with the PART_Editor name has specified EditValue to allow you to bind the cell editor manually.

Old behavior:

When you specify PART_Editor and EditValue simultaneously, GridControl ignores any binding specified on the editor, which may lead to an unpredictable state.

New behavior:

You can specify PART_Editor and EditValue simultaneously, and GridControl will still adjust the appearance and focus the editor but use your own binding.

In this case, GridControl’s logic of getting/setting the editor’s value is disabled.

Starting with v18.2.4 , you can set the CompatibilitySettings.AllowEditValueBindingInInplaceEditors property to false to enable the old behavior.
