Remarks

To programmatically activate the cell’s editor, you should focus the cell and call the ShowEditor method. This method raises the PropertyGridControl.ShowingEditor event, allowing you to prevent showing editors for individual cells, thus preventing their values from being edited. After the editor has been shown, the property grid fires the PropertyGridControl.ShownEditor event.
