Item.EditValue Property (ExRibbon)

The EditValue/EditCaption property specifies the caption to be shown on the item's edit text box. Use the AllowEdit property to add a text-box inside the item, so the user can type any characters inside. The EditWidth property specifies the width of the text-box inside the item. The EditBorder property specifies the border to be shown around the item's text box. You can use the Get method to collect all items of Edit type. The EditChange event notifies your application once the user alters the item's text-box caption.

The EditValue property indicates the edit's value as shown bellow:

The EditValue property specifies the value of the edit field ( string expression ), without the masking characters, when AllowEdit property includes the exItemEditMask flag.
The EditValue property indicates the current slider position/value ( long expression ), when AllowEdit property includes the exItemEditSlider, exItemEditProgress, exItemEditScrollBar, or exItemEditColor flag.

How can I assign a color field to the item (method 2)?
