devexpress-winforms-editors

devexpress-winforms-editors is a skill for Claude Code from DevExpress/agent-skills. It costs 235 tokens per session (5,521 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to DevExpress WinForms input controls, such as text boxes, date pickers, drop-downs, number fields, check boxes, and lookup editors. It also covers using the same editors inside grids, trees, ribbons, and other data controls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build data-entry forms, configure numeric and date input, create searchable lookups, add editor buttons, and embed editors in data-aware controls.
Why use it?
It helps select the right input control and apply consistent validation, formatting, masks, and buttons. An input mask restricts or shapes what users can enter, such as a date or number.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

devexpress-winforms-editors scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

DevExpress WinForms Data Editors

The DevExpress Editors suite (DevExpress.XtraEditors) is a family of standalone WinForms input controls plus the repository-item infrastructure that lets the same editor be embedded into data-aware controls (Data Grid, TreeList, Ribbon, etc.). Almost every editor derives from BaseEdit, which contributes the bindable EditValue property; a smaller set of controls inherit from BaseControl directly and are used for display, action, or layout — buttons, labels, list boxes, navigators.

This skill covers three things at once:

  1. The editor hierarchy — the BaseEdit tree (TextEdit branch, BaseCheckEdit branch, PictureEdit, ProgressBar, RadioGroup, RatingControl, TrackBar, TokenEdit, SparklineEdit), the non-BaseEdit controls, and how to pick the right one.
  2. Masks — the input-mask system shared across TextEdit descendants: Numeric, DateTime/DateOnly/TimeOnly/DateTimeOffset, Simple, TimeSpan, RegEx (Extended Regular Expressions), Simplified RegEx, including the MaskSettings.Configure<> fluent API and the EditMask data-annotation attributes.
  3. Editor buttonsEditorButton, ButtonPredefines, EditorButtonImageOptions, Properties.Buttons collection, click handling, captions/icons/tooltips, in ButtonEdit descendants (ButtonEdit, ComboBoxEdit, LookUpEdit, SpinEdit, BrowsePathEdit, PopupBaseEdit, ColorPickEdit, PopupGalleryEdit, PopupContainerEdit).

When to Use This Skill

  • Adding any DevExpress editor to a form for text, number, date, time, lookup, color, image, file path, etc.
  • Choosing between editor families (TextEdit vs ButtonEdit vs ComboBoxEdit vs LookUpEdit vs GridLookUpEdit vs SearchLookUpEdit; DateEdit vs TimeEdit vs DateTimeOffsetEdit; CheckEdit vs ToggleSwitch; ProgressBarControl vs MarqueeProgressBarControl).
  • Knowing what is not a BaseEdit (no EditValue) and when to use a simple control instead — labels, buttons, list boxes, breadcrumb, navigator.
  • Applying input masks, including DateTime, Numeric (c, n, p, f, d), Simple metacharacter patterns, RegEx patterns, and culture-aware behavior.
  • Adding, customizing, hiding, or removing buttons in ButtonEdit descendants — predefined glyphs (ButtonPredefines.Ellipsis, Search, Plus, Minus, Up, Down, Clear, Delete, OK, Close, Right, Left, Combo, DropDown, …), custom SVG/raster images, captions, alignment, tooltips, and click events.
  • Hiding the text box (TextEditStyle.HideTextEditor) or making it read-only (DisableTextEditor).
  • Embedding editors into the Grid / TreeList / Ribbon via repository items.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
