Property Value

Type	Description
String	A string that specifies the caption format.

Remarks

The format specified by the CaptionFormat property must follow the Composite Formatting rules. Typically, the format string contains the “{0}” string plus custom text. The “{0}” string is a placeholder for the item’s caption, specified by the BaseLayoutItem.Caption property. To learn more about formatting, see Composite Formatting in MSDN.

The following code shows how to create a format string that adds a colon after an item’s caption:

XAML

<dxdo:LayoutControlItem x:Name="myLayoutItem" CaptionFormat="{}{0}:" Caption="Name">
...
</dxdo:LayoutControlItem>

C#

myLayoutItem.CaptionFormat = "{0}:";
