RadTreeList provides a straightforward way to specify a non-default editor for an editable column. The RadTreeList.CreateColumnEditor event fires whenever a column editor needs to be initialized. The event argument object of type TreeListCreateColumnEditorEventArgs provides the following properties:

  • Column - the TreeListEditableColumn instance for which a column editor will be initialized.
  • DefaultEditor - the default ITreeListColumnEditor instance that the column provides.
  • CustomEditorInitializer - a delegate that does not accept parameters and returns an instance of type ITreeListColumnEditor.

You should provide a delegate function to e.CustomEditorInitializer that instantiates and returns an ITreeListColumnEditor object. A column editor instance usually accepts the target editable column in its constructor.
