  • TreeListFooterCommandContext.Column Property

    Returns a column that contains the target cell.

    Namespace: DevExpress.Blazor

    Assembly: DevExpress.Blazor.v25.2.dll

    NuGet Package: DevExpress.Blazor

    Declaration

    public ITreeListColumn Column { get; }

    Property Value

    Type Description
    ITreeListColumn

    A TreeList column.

    Remarks

    The DevExpress Blazor TreeList allows you to display context menus with predefined and custom commands. Use the ContextMenus property to activate context menus for specific TreeList elements. Handle the CustomizeContextMenu event to modify the menu item collection. Use the Context event argument to identify the target TreeList element and obtain contextual information.

    When the target element is a footer cell, the Context property returns a TreeListFooterCommandContext object. Use the object’s Column property to access a column containing the target cell.

    Example

    The following example adds context commands that display/hide total summaries:
