How to add custom controls to XtraGrid

How to add a self-created XtraEditors editing control to XtraGrid

You can create a RepositoryItem derived class and declare the static constructor and Registration Method for it. To use it in the designer, you must add the UserRepositoryItemAttribute attribute tag to the registration method, you must also override the EditorTypeName attribute of the RepositoryItem and BaseEdit Derived classes.

This method is applicable to XtraGrid, XtraTreeList, XtraVerticalGrid, and XtraBars.

Note: Add reference: DevExpress. XtraEditors. v10.2
