WinForms Data Grid - How to use the Popup Container Editor

This example demonstrates how to:

• Create and customize a Popup Container editor.
• Assign the popup container editor to a grid column to display and edit cell values.
• Handle the QueryPopUp event to pass the cell value to the editor in the dropdown.

  private void repositoryItemPopupContainerEdit1_QueryPopUp(object sender, CancelEventArgs e) {
      memoEdit1.EditValue = (sender as PopupContainerEdit).EditValue;
  }

• Handle the QueryResultValue event to post the modified value back to the grid cell.

  private void repositoryItemPopupContainerEdit1_QueryResultValue(object sender, DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.QueryResultValueEventArgs e) {
      e.Value = memoEdit1.EditValue;
  }
