NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

C#

public event ASPxCardViewCustomButtonEventHandler CustomButtonInitialize

VB.NET

Public Event CustomButtonInitialize As ASPxCardViewCustomButtonEventHandler

Event Data

The CustomButtonInitialize event's data class is ASPxCardViewCustomCommandButtonEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
ButtonID	Gets the processed custom button’s identifier. Inherited from ASPxGridCustomCommandButtonEventArgs.
Enabled	Gets or sets a value that specifies whether the processed custom button is enabled. Inherited from ASPxGridCustomCommandButtonEventArgs.
Image	Gets the settings of an image displayed within the processed custom button. Inherited from ASPxGridCustomCommandButtonEventArgs.
IsEditingCard	Gets whether a custom command button is displayed within the card currently being edited.
LayoutItem	Gets the command layout item which owns the processed command button.
RenderMode	Specifies the processed custom command button’s render mode. Inherited from ASPxGridCustomCommandButtonEventArgs.
Styles	Gets the processed custom button’s style. Inherited from ASPxGridCustomCommandButtonEventArgs.
Text	Gets or sets the processed custom button’s text. Inherited from ASPxGridCustomCommandButtonEventArgs.
Visible	Gets or sets whether the processed custom button is visible. Inherited from ASPxGridCustomCommandButtonEventArgs.
VisibleIndex	Gets the visible index of a data item (row, card or record) which contains the processed custom button. Inherited from ASPxGridCustomCommandButtonEventArgs.

Remarks

The CustomButtonInitialize event is raised for each custom command button, and enables you to initialize it. For instance, you can handle this event to hide individual buttons.

The event parameter’s properties allow you to identify the button, card, the type of cell which contains the processed button, etc.

To initialize individual built-in command buttons (edit, new, delete, etc.), handle the ASPxCardView.CommandButtonInitialize event.

Note

If you call the GetCardValues method in the CustomButtonInitialize event handler, you should take into account the specific behavior described in the ASPxCardView.GetCardValues topic.

Note

It is impossible to change the style of the selection checkbox using the CustomButtonInitialize event.

Example

The following example handles the CommandButtonInitialize and CustomButtonInitialize events to specify the CommandButtons and CustomCommandButtons properties. The DataRow’s VisibleIndex property and criteria (set based on field values) are used to determine button visibility.
