Switching Editors
Updated over 6 months ago
When edit operation is about to begin, the EditorRequired event is fired. By using this event, you can replace the default text box editor with one of the four built-in editors that RadCardView provides: ListViewTextBoxEditor, ListViewDropDownListEditor, ListViewSpinEditor, ListViewDateTimeEditor. You can also provide a custom instance as an editor. The default editor used by RadCardView is ListViewTextBoxEditor.
The following example shows how you can change the editor type:

private void radCardView1_EditorRequired(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.ListViewItemEditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ListViewElement.CurrentColumn.FieldName == "TitleOfCourtesy")
{
ListViewDropDownListEditor editor = new ListViewDropDownListEditor();
(editor.EditorElement as BaseDropDownListEditorElement).Items.Add("Ms.");
(editor.EditorElement as BaseDropDownListEditorElement).Items.Add("Mr.");
(editor.EditorElement as BaseDropDownListEditorElement).Items.Add("Mrs.");
e.Editor = editor;
}
else if (e.ListViewElement.CurrentColumn.FieldName == "EmployeeID")
{
e.EditorType = typeof(ListViewSpinEditor);
}
else if (e.ListViewElement.CurrentColumn.FieldName == "BirthDate" || e.ListViewElement.CurrentColumn.FieldName == "HireDate")
{
e.EditorType = typeof(ListViewDateTimeEditor);
}
else
{
e.EditorType = typeof(ListViewTextBoxEditor);
