How to enable in-place editing in the WinForms tree List View (TreeListEditor)

This example shows how to implement a custom ViewController that gets access to the TreeList control and makes it editable according to
the XtraTreeList documentation:
WinForms Controls > Controls > Tree List > Feature Center > Data Editing
TreeListOptionsBehavior.Editable Property
TreeList.ShowingEditor Event
TreeList.CellValueChanged Event
Take special note that special handling is required for the correct operation of editors for reference properties (e.g., a lookup filtering
functionality requires obtaining the currently selected record).
This is not a complete solution and you will need to modify and test this example code further in other scenarios according to your business
requirements. For instance, if you require supporting ConditionalAppearance rules, consider using the code from the Q479878 ticket. If you
require supporting member-level security permissions, consider extending this example by analogy with
the DevExpress.ExpressApp.Win.SystemModule.GridListEditorMemberLevelSecurityController class for GridListEditor.
