| BaseEdit |
A BaseEdit object that represents a custom editor for the dialog box.

Use the Editor property to provide an editor for the dialog box. To specify the text displayed above the dialog box editor, use the XtraInputBoxArgs.Prompt property.
The code snippet below shows how to display the dialog box using custom arguments.
// initialize a new XtraInputBoxArgs instance
XtraInputBoxArgs args = new XtraInputBoxArgs();
// set required Input Box options
args.Caption = "Shipping options";
args.Prompt = "Delivery date";
args.DefaultButtonIndex = 0;
// initialize a DateEdit editor with custom settings
DateEdit editor = new DateEdit();
editor.Properties.CalendarView = DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository.CalendarView.TouchUI;
editor.Properties.Mask.EditMask = "MMMM d, yyyy";
args.Editor = editor;
// a default DateEdit value
args.DefaultResponse = DateTime.Now.Date.AddDays(3);
// display an Input Box with the custom editor
var result = XtraInputBox.Show(args).ToString();
' initialize a new XtraInputBoxArgs instance
Dim args As New XtraInputBoxArgs()
' set required Input Box options
args.Caption = "Shipping options"
args.Prompt = "Delivery date"
args.DefaultButtonIndex = 0
' initialize a DateEdit editor with custom settings
Dim editor As New DateEdit()
editor.Properties.CalendarView = DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository.CalendarView.TouchUI
editor.Properties.Mask.EditMask = "MMMM d, yyyy"
args.Editor = editor
' a default DateEdit value
args.DefaultResponse = Date.Now.Date.AddDays(3)
' display an Input Box with the custom editor
Dim result = XtraInputBox.Show(args).ToString()
When an end-user clicks “OK” or “Yes”, the XtraInputBox.Show method returns an Object that is the editor’s edit value. Otherwise, the method returns null ( Nothing in VB).
