Default Editors

When an edit operation is about to begin, RadListView initializes a ListViewTextBoxEditor. The following table lists the built-in editors that RadListView provides:

Editor	Description
ListViewTextBoxEditor	Used for editing text input.
ListViewDropDownListEditor	Used for editing values providing a predefined list of values.
ListViewSpinEditor	Used for editing of numeric data types.
ListViewDateTimeEditor	Used for editing of type DateTime.

The following example shows how you can use the predefined editors:

Start editing

• C#
• VB.NET

void radListView1_EditorRequired(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.ListViewItemEditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ListViewElement.CurrentColumn.FieldName == "CustomerName")
    {
        e.EditorType = typeof(ListViewTextBoxEditor);
    }
    else if (e.ListViewElement.CurrentColumn.FieldName == "ProductName")
    {
        ListViewDropDownListEditor editor = new ListViewDropDownListEditor();
        (editor.EditorElement as BaseDropDownListEditorElement).Items.Add("Product1");
        (editor.EditorElement as BaseDropDownListEditorElement).Items.Add("Product2");
        (editor.EditorElement as BaseDropDownListEditorElement).Items.Add("Product3");

        e.Editor = editor;
    }
    else if (e.ListViewElement.CurrentColumn.FieldName == "Quantity")
    {
        e.EditorType = typeof(ListViewSpinEditor);
    }
    else if (e.ListViewElement.CurrentColumn.FieldName == "OrderDate")
    {
        e.EditorType = typeof(ListViewDateTimeEditor);
    }
}

Private Sub radListView1_EditorRequired(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.ListViewItemEditorRequiredEventArgs)
    If e.ListViewElement.CurrentColumn.FieldName = "CustomerName" Then
        e.EditorType = GetType(ListViewTextBoxEditor)
    ElseIf e.ListViewElement.CurrentColumn.FieldName = "ProductName" Then
        Dim editor As New ListViewDropDownListEditor()
        TryCast(editor.EditorElement, BaseDropDownListEditorElement).Items.Add("Product1")
        TryCast(editor.EditorElement, BaseDropDownListEditorElement).Items.Add("Product2")
        TryCast(editor.EditorElement, BaseDropDownListEditorElement).Items.Add("Product3")
        e.Editor = editor
    ElseIf e.ListViewElement.CurrentColumn.FieldName = "Quantity" Then
        e.EditorType = GetType(ListViewSpinEditor)
    ElseIf e.ListViewElement.CurrentColumn.FieldName = "OrderDate" Then
        e.EditorType = GetType(ListViewDateTimeEditor)
    End If
