That conclusion is inaccurate, because an XAF Web application is a regular ASP.NET WebForms application, which is highly customizable or extendable with your own HTML, JavaScript, custom web user controls or third-party components as well as the underlying platform itself.

I have to use custom property editor for that.

A PropertyEditor is just a framework's entity or template that is technically a wrapper around visual controls for a particular platform. For instance, in an ASP.NET WebForms app you can inherit your custom property editor class from the WebPropertyEditor one that expects a System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl descendant as its control. That said, it is natural and often easier to use a ready suitable server side control from DevExpress, Microsoft or other vendors as a base, e.g. ASPxGridLookup or ASPxComboBox. Of course, you can also opt for lightweight HTML/JavaScript components loaded with the help of HtmlGenericControl/Panel or other server side controls (example).

For more implementation details, check out these concepts and tutorials: one, two, three, four, five.

I also recommend you contact the DevExpress support team in case of any further difficulties: https://www.devexpress.com/ask Bear in mind that this is a commercial product whose use is governed by https://www.devexpress.com/support/eulas/netcomponents.xml
