A data-aware single-line text editor with embedded buttons.
TcxDBButtonEdit = class(
TcxCustomButtonEdit
)
A button editor is a single-line text editor with one or more embedded buttons and support for masked input.
A button editor maintains a collection of embedded buttons accessible through the Properties.Buttons property.
To associate editor buttons with specific functionality in your application, you can associate each button with an action object (a TBasicAction descendant instance) or handle the Properties.OnButtonClick event.
The list below outlines key members of the TcxDBButtonEdit class. These members allow you to configure button editors.
Style | StyleDisabled | StyleFocused | StyleHot | StyleReadOnly
Allow you to define individual appearance settings for different editor states.
Tip
To apply the same style settings to multiple editors, use a TcxEditStyleController component. If you need to apply the same style settings to all editors in your application, you can use a TcxDefaultEditStyleController component.

You can create a TcxEditRepositoryButtonItem component in an edit repository to define an unbound button editor, store button editor settings, and share them between multiple button editors.
The data-aware button editor is designed as a standalone editor. You cannot use a TcxDBButtonEdit class instance as an in-place editor in container controls.
