Public Overridable Sub ShowEditForm

If the GridView lacks sufficient space to display an inline Edit Form, a modal Edit Form window is displayed.

using DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid;
gridView1.OptionsBehavior.EditingMode = GridEditingMode.EditForm;
// ...
void editButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
gridView1.ShowEditForm();
}
Imports DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid
gridView1.OptionsBehavior.EditingMode = GridEditingMode.EditForm
' ...
Private Sub editButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles editButton.Click
gridView1.ShowEditForm()
End Sub
