<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>By default, the grid will show editing buttons in cells only when they
have the focus. This is the same behavior used by the <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.propertygrid">PropertyGrid</a>
control.</p>
<p>This property affects only rendering of cells and do not affect appearance of
editor.</p>
<p>If you set <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.ShowButtons.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_ShowButtons">ShowButtons</a> to <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.ShowButtonsEnum.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_ShowButtonsEnum_Always">Always</a>,
the grid will display buttons on any cells that have associated lists, even if they
don't have the focus.</p>
<p>For details on how to associate lists with cells, see the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.ComboList.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_ComboList">ComboList</a>,
