DxTreeList.GetColumns() Method

Returns a collection of all treelist columns.

Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

#Declaration

C#
public IReadOnlyList<ITreeListColumn> GetColumns()

#Returns

Type Description
IReadOnlyList<ITreeListColumn>

The column collection.

#Remarks

Call the TreeList’s GetVisibleColumns() method to get a collection of visible columns sorted based on their display order. To get a collection of all treelist columns, call the GetColumns method. Whenever these methods encounter a band, they include it followed by all its nested columns in the collection. If nested bands exist, the methods add them and their nested columns recursively.

The GetDataColumns() method allows you to get a collection of data columns.

The following code snippet shows the difference between the results of the GetColumns and GetVisibleColumns methods.
