[C#]

Casting the IEditProperties2 interface to the IEditor interface will allow access to set the direction units and direction type. Get a reference to IApplication by hook in the OnCreate method.

    private void SetEditingAngularUnits()
    {
      IEditor m_editor;
      UID uID = new UID();
      uID.Value = "esriEditor.Editor";
      m_editor = m_application.FindExtensionByCLSID(uID) as IEditor;
      IEditProperties2 editProperties2 = m_editor as IEditProperties2;
      editProperties2.DirectionUnits = esriDirectionUnits.esriDUDegreesMinutesSeconds;
      editProperties2.DirectionType = esriDirectionType.esriDTQuadrantBearing;
    }

[Visual Basic .NET]

A reference to IApplication (app) comes from the OnCreate hook parameter.

Public Sub SetEditingAngularUnits()
    Dim editor as IEditor
    Dim editProperties2 As IEditProperties2
    Dim uID As New UID 
    uID.Value = "esriEditor.Editor"
    m_Editor = app.FindExtensionByCLSID(uID)
    'QI
    editProperties2 = editor
    editProperties2.DirectionUnits = esriDirectionUnits.esriDUDecimalDegrees
    editProperties2.DirectionType = esriDirectionType.esriDTQuadrantBearing
    editProperties2.UseGroundToGrid = False
  End Sub
