GridColumn.EditFormCaption Property

Specifies the caption of the editor associated with the current column in the edit form.

Namespace: DevExpress.XamarinForms.DataGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.XamarinForms.Grid.dll

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 demonstrates how to customize the grid’s edit form appearance.

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

• Background color (BackgroundColor);
• Font settings (FontSize, FontColor, FontAttributes, FontFamily);
• Content paddings (Padding, ItemPadding).

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

XAML

<dxg:DataGridView x:Name="grid" ItemsSource="{Binding Orders}" Tap="Grid_Tap">
    <dxg:DataGridView.Columns>
        <dxg:TextColumn FieldName="Product.Name" Caption="Product" />
        <dxg:NumberColumn FieldName="Product.UnitPrice" Caption="Price" DisplayFormat="C0"/>
        <dxg:NumberColumn FieldName="Quantity" />
        <dxg:NumberColumn FieldName="Total" 
                          UnboundType="Integer" UnboundExpression="[Quantity] * [Product.UnitPrice]" 
                          IsReadOnly="True" DisplayFormat="C0" />
        <dxg:DateColumn FieldName="Date" DisplayFormat="d" />
        <dxg:CheckBoxColumn FieldName="Shipped" EditFormCaption="Done" />
    </dxg:DataGridView.Columns>
</dxg:DataGridView>

C#

namespace DataGridExample {
    public partial class MainPage : ContentPage {
        public MainPage() {
            InitializeComponent();

        private void Grid_Tap(object sender, DataGridGestureEventArgs e) {
            if (e.Item != null) {
                var editForm = new EditFormPage(grid, grid.GetRow(e.RowHandle).Item);

                EditFormView view = (EditFormView)editForm.Content;
                view.BackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("#333333");
                view.FontSize = 18;
                view.FontColor = Color.White;
                view.ItemPadding = new Thickness(0, 0, 0, 30);
                view.Padding = new Thickness(50, 50, 0, 0);

                Navigation.PushAsync(editForm);
