GridColumn.EditFormCaption Property

Gets or sets the caption of the editor associated with the current column in the edit form. This is a bindable property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Maui.DataGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.Maui.DataGrid.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Maui.DataGrid

Declaration

public string EditFormCaption { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
String	The editor caption.

Remarks

Use the EditFormCaption property to display a custom caption for an editor in the edit form. If the EditFormCaption is not specified, the grid uses caption text from the column header.

Example

This example customizes the grid’s edit form appearance.

Use the EditFormPage object’s Content property to access a DataFormView object that is the form’s default view and stores its appearance settings:

• Background color (BackgroundColor);
• Font settings (EditorLabelFontSize, EditorLabelColor, EditorLabelFontAttributes, EditorLabelFontFamily);
• Content paddings (ContentPadding, EditorPadding).

To specify a custom caption for an editor, use the GridColumn.EditFormCaption property.
