GridColumn.HeaderContentTemplate Property

Gets or sets the template that defines the visual representation of the column header. This is a bindable property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Maui.DataGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.Maui.DataGrid.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Maui.DataGrid

#Declaration

C#
public DataTemplate HeaderContentTemplate { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
DataTemplate

A template for the column header.

#Remarks

Use the HeaderContentTemplate property to define the visual structure for a header of an individual column. To set a common header template to be applied to all columns displayed in the grid, use the DataGridView.ColumnHeaderContentTemplate property. The GridColumn class specifies the binding context for these templates.

#Example

This example shows how to define templates for grid column headers. To do this, assign a DataTemplate object to a column’s HeaderContentTemplate property.
