Example

This example customizes the data form’s editors, group headers, and row separators.

Before	After

1. Override resources to modify the appearance of the data form’s editors (hide edit box borders and the clear icon, and change placeholder and input text color).

2. Use the following properties of the data form:

   • IsEditorLabelVisible - to hide editor labels.
   • ContentPadding - to specify the distance between editors and form borders or group headers.
   • GroupHeaderPadding / GroupHeaderBackgroundColor / GroupHeaderTextColor - to adjust the appearance of group headers.
     AllowCollapseGroups - to prevent users from collapsing groups, and hide the collapse/expand icon from group headers.
   • RowSeparatorColor / RowSeparatorThickness / IsLastRowSeparatorVisible - to customize row separators.
