VB.NET

Public Property TextField As String

Property Value

Type	Description
String	A string value that specifies the name of the required data source field.

Remarks

The TextField property is in effect if the TreeView is bound to a data source.

Use the TextField property to specify the bound data source’s data field (or an xml element’s attribute) which stores node texts. The TextField property maps the TreeViewNode.Text properties of MVCxTreeViewNode objects to the specified data field’s values.

You can format the obtained texts by using the TreeViewSettings.TextFormatString property.

If the TextField property of a data bound TreeView is not defined, the control can automatically obtain node texts from a data field whose name is “Text” (which is equal to the TreeViewNode.Text property’s name).
