How to return a value from a custom DevExpress ButtonEdit

Question

I have a custom EditButton that shows a dialog for the user to select a value.

This is used by an xtra grid as an editor for a cell. The user can click the cell editor, the dialog shows and they can select the item they want.

How do I then return this selection back to the grid?

Here is a code snippet showing the custom EditButton. I am using DevExpress version 9.2

Class ClientIdEditor Inherits ButtonEdit

    Protected Overrides Sub OnClickButton(ByVal buttonInfo As DevExpress.XtraEditors.Drawing.EditorButtonObjectInfoArgs)
        dim editValue = MagicShowDialogGetEditValue()
        MyBase.OnClickButton(buttonInfo)
    'How do I return the edit value so the grid picks it up?
    End Sub
End Class

Assign the result to the EditValue property.

Example

EditValue = MagicShowDialogGetEditValue()
