DevExpress GridView Select & replace item in Cell?

Question

Is there a way like in Windows Textbox control to replace the selected text with in a cell? I know that an entire cell can be done with SetRowCellValue, but what about just a selection?

Thanks

When a user edits a cell, an editor is used. So, you can get it using the GridView.ActiveEditor property:

if (gridView1.ActiveEditor == null || !(gridView1.ActiveEditor is TextEdit))
    return;
TextEdit editor = (TextEdit)gridView1.ActiveEditor;
editor.SelectedText = DateTime.Now.ToString();
