Property Value

Type	Default	Description
String	String.Empty	A String that specifies a set of characters.

Remarks

This property is in effect when no specific grouping is applied within a ASPxTitleIndex control. (For a data bound control, this means that its ASPxTitleIndex.GroupingField property is not assigned; for an unbound control, this means that no item from the ASPxTitleIndex.Items collection has the TitleIndexItem.GroupValue property assigned.) In this case, the control’s data is organized in groups (or categories), whose values are represented by the first initial characters of data item text values (data item titles).

The Characters property can be used to organize index panel items in any arbitrary order within the index panel. For instance, you can insert line feeds in your own manner after any desired index character.
