add Date control to devexpress silverlight grid

Question

Need to add a date picker to a devexpress Silverlight grid so that the first column of the grid is a datepicker.

Inside the xaml can I drag a date picker and drop it or can I set the gridcolum.editsettings property

Answer 1

Please assign the GridColumn.EditSettings property as follows:

<dxg:GridColumn x:Name="colDate" FieldName="Date"> 
    <dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings> 
        <dxe:DateEditSettings MaskType="DateTime" Mask="dd-MMM-yyyy" MaskUseAsDisplayFormat="True"/> 
    </dxg:GridColumn.EditSettings> 
</dxg:GridColumn> 

Also you can use the GridControl's design-time capabilities: to specify the type of a column's editor and customize its settings, select the column and choose the type of the required editor via the Quick Customization Panel .
