TcxGridBandedTableView Class

A View that groups columns into bands.

Declaration

TcxGridBandedTableView = class(
    TcxGridTableView
)

Remarks

This View displays data in a banded table. Bands allow users to group columns that contain information related to a specific category.

A Banded Table View

TcxGridBandedTableView is based on the TcxGridTableView and inherits its base features to manage data.

A Banded View works in unbound mode. You can use the following Views to display data in bound or server modes:

Each column in the View should be associated with a band since the View cannot display columns that do not have a parent band. All columns initially belong to a band with an empty caption. You can name this band and leave columns under it or add more bands, and associate columns with them.

You can also specify a parent band for a band to group multiple related bands.

Refer to the following guidance for information on how to configure bands and columns: Banded Table View Tutorial.
