- 2 minutes to read
The ExpressVerticalGrid control represents data by means of rows. This topic describes the types of rows available in the vertical grid control and lists their common features.
Row Types
There are three row types available in the ExpressVerticalGrid control:
Category rows are used to organize logically related rows into groups. This type of rows represents no data. The Category row is comprised of one header cell and provides descriptive information about a group of related rows.
Editor Rows are used to display and edit data items. Editor Rows are formatted in the following manner: one header cell in a header column and one data cell in a data column.
The header cell contains descriptive information about the row while the data cell is a container for a data item.
Multi Editor Rows are used to display and edit a group of logically related data items. Multi Editor Rows have the following format, a set of header cells in a header column and a set of data cells in a data column.
The header cell contains descriptive information about the item, while the data cell is a container for a data item where this item is displayed and edited.
Refer to the Row Class Structure topic for detailed information on classes that implement these row types.
Row Settings
All rows have a common ancestor the TcxCustomRow class that encapsulates common settings for every type of row. The image below shows the Object Inspector with these settings highlighted.
Settings specific to every type of row are stored in separate objects. Please refer to the Row Properties topic for details.
