    Public Class CellEditor 
       Inherits System.Windows.Freezable
    'Usage
     
    Dim instance As CellEditor
    [TypeDescriptionProvider(MS.Internal.ComponentModel.DependencyObjectProvider)]
    [NameScopeProperty("NameScope", System.Windows.NameScope)]
    public class CellEditor : System.Windows.Freezable 
    Remarks

    The data template that will be used to edit the content of a cell is specified through the EditTemplate property while the activation gestures that are supported by the CellEditor are contained in the ActivationGestures collection.

    Custom cell editors can be provided per column by setting a column's CellEditor property, or per data type through the DataGridControl.DefaultCellEditors property.

    Example
    All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Orders table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.
    The following examples demonstrates how to change the edit template of the cell editor for the ShipVia column to a Slider control.
    <Grid xmlns:xcdg="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid">
      <Grid.Resources>
        <xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_orders"
                                        Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
                                                          Path=Orders}"/>
      </Grid.Resources>
      <xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrdersGrid"
                            ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orders}}">
        <xcdg:DataGridControl.Columns>
    
         <xcdg:Column FieldName="ShipVia">
           <xcdg:Column.CellEditor>
             <xcdg:CellEditor>
               <xcdg:CellEditor.EditTemplate>
                 <DataTemplate>
                   <Slider Value="{xcdg:CellEditorBinding}" Minimum="1" Maximum="3"/>
                 </DataTemplate>
               </xcdg:CellEditor.EditTemplate>
               <xcdg:CellEditor.ActivationGestures>
                 <xcdg:KeyActivationGesture Key="Right"/>
                 <xcdg:KeyActivationGesture Key="Left"/>
               </xcdg:CellEditor.ActivationGestures>
             </xcdg:CellEditor>
           </xcdg:Column.CellEditor>
         </xcdg:Column>
        </xcdg:DataGridControl.Columns>
      </xcdg:DataGridControl>
    </Grid>
    The following example demonstrates how to change the edit template of the cell editor for the Freight column to a custom calculator control. The C# code for the Calculate method called in the buttons' Click event simply calculates the new equation and is not provided. To shorten the code, some of the Button and KeyActivationGesture declarations have been removed.
    <Grid xmlns:xcdg="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid">
      <Grid.Resources>
        <xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_orders"
                                        Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
                                                          Path=Orders}"/>
      </Grid.Resources>
       <xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrdersGrid"
                             ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orders}}">
          <xcdg:DataGridControl.Columns>
    
            <xcdg:Column FieldName="Freight">
               <xcdg:Column.CellEditor>
                  <xcdg:CellEditor>
                     <xcdg:CellEditor.EditTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <DockPanel>
                               <TextBlock x:Name="actual_value"
                                         Text="{xcdg:CellEditorBinding}"
                                          DockPanel.Dock="Top"/>
                               <UniformGrid Columns="4" x:Name="parentPanel"
                                            Tag="{Binding ElementName=actual_value,
                                                          Path=Text,

                                                          UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                                            Button.Click="Calculate"
                                            DockPanel.Dock="Top">
                                  <Button x:Name="seven" Content="7"/>
                                  <!-- ... -->
                                  <Button x:Name="addition" Content="+"/>
                               </UniformGrid>
                               <TextBlock x:Name="current_equation" DockPanel.Dock="Bottom"/>
                             </DockPanel>
                         </DataTemplate>
                     </xcdg:CellEditor.EditTemplate>
                     <xcdg:CellEditor.ActivationGestures>
                        <xcdg:KeyActivationGesture Key="NumPad0"/>
                        <!-- ... -->
                        <xcdg:KeyActivationGesture Key="NumPad9"/>
                     </xcdg:CellEditor.ActivationGestures>

          </xcdg:DataGridControl.Columns>
       </xcdg:DataGridControl>

    The following example demonstrates how to provide a default cell editor for columns that have an Int32 data type.
    <Grid xmlns:xcdg="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid"
          xmlns:s="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
      <Grid.Resources>
        <xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_orders"
                                        Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
                                                          Path=Orders}"/>
      </Grid.Resources>
      <xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrdersGrid"
                            ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orders}}">
    
       <xcdg:DataGridControl.DefaultCellEditors>
         <xcdg:CellEditor x:Key="{x:Type s:Int32}">
           <xcdg:CellEditor.EditTemplate>
             <DataTemplate>
               <Slider Value="{xcdg:CellEditorBinding}"/>
             </DataTemplate>
           </xcdg:CellEditor.EditTemplate>
         </xcdg:CellEditor>
       </xcdg:DataGridControl.DefaultCellEditors>
