DevExpress WPF Data Editors

The DevExpress Data Editors library is a comprehensive set of input controls for WPF — text editors, numeric editors, date/time pickers, lookups, combos, list boxes, image/color editors, visualization editors, and simple buttons. All editors share a common base type (DevExpress.Xpf.Editors.BaseEdit) with a single EditValue property — the value the user is editing — plus a uniform API for masking, validation, formatting, and in-place use inside GridControl, PropertyGrid, Bar items, and similar containers.

Two control families: editors that inherit from BaseEdit (have EditValue, support masks, validation, in-place mode) vs simple controls that do not (SimpleButton, DropDownButton, SplitButton, FlyoutControl, RangeControl, Calculator, DateNavigator, DateRangeControl, TimePicker). The two families are documented separately — see Navigation Guide.
