DxGrid.ColumnHeaderCaptionTemplate Property

Specifies a common template used to display captions of all column headers in the Grid.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

Declaration

[Parameter]
public RenderFragment<GridColumnHeaderCaptionTemplateContext> ColumnHeaderCaptionTemplate { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
RenderFragment<GridColumnHeaderCaptionTemplateContext>	The template for all column headers.

Remarks

The ColumnHeaderCaptionTemplate allows you to customize captions of all column headers in the Grid. To define a template for individual column headers, use the DxGridColumn.HeaderCaptionTemplate.

The ColumnHeaderCaptionTemplate accepts a GridColumnHeaderCaptionTemplateContext object as the context parameter. You can use parameter members to get the current Caption, and the Column or DataColumn object. You can also access the Grid object and use its members to obtain additional information about the Grid.

The following example shows the tooltip when a user hovers the mouse pointer over any column caption:
