The grid provides several built-in editors that are automatically selected based on the properties of the cell being edited.
This property allows you to use external editors when editing values in a given column. Any control can be used as an external editor, but to achieve complete integration with the grid, the external editor should implement the IC1EmbeddedEditor interface.
You can associate external editors with columns at design time (using the grid's Column Editor) or at run time, by setting this property.
The code below creates a C1DateEdit control and assigns it to the Editor property of a grid column. The control will be used to edit cells on this column instead of the default System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker control.
All controls in the C1Input library implement the IC1EmbeddedEditor interface and can be used as grid editors without any extra code.
// create C1DateEdit control (included with C1Input) C1DateEdit dateEdit = new C1DateEdit(); // use the new control as an editor for a grid column _flex.Cols[1].DataType = typeof(DateTime); _flex.Cols[1].Editor = c1DateEdit;
