AccordionControl.AllowCollectionView Property

Gets or sets whether to synchronize the AccordionControl with the collection view data source. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Accordion

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Accordion.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Accordion

Declaration

C#

public bool AllowCollectionView { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property AllowCollectionView As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false	true to synchronize the AccordionControl with the collection view data source; otherwise, false.

Remarks

You can bind the AccordionControl to an ICollectionView and specify the current record, filter, sort, and group options at the data source level.

If the AllowCollectionView property is set to false and an ICollectionView is used as a data source, the AccordionControl transforms the ICollectionView to a plain list. In this instance, filter, group, and sort rules defined in the ICollectionView are ignored.

AccordionControl child items ignore ICollectionView settings if you bind the parent item’s ItemsSource property to an ICollectionView to obtain these child items (for example, if you use Hierarchical Data Templates or manually define parent items).

Example

This example demonstrates how to bind the AccordionControl to a collection view and synchronize the selected item with the collection view.
