using DevExpress.Xpf.Grid;
using DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.Automation;

void OnAutomationRequested(object sender, AutomationEventArgs e) {
    if (e is CellAutomationEventArgs cellArgs) {
        // "<Header> <Value>" — for example: "Unit Price 12.30"
        var header = cellArgs.Column.HeaderCaption ?? cellArgs.Column.FieldName;
        var valueText = cellArgs.Cell.Value?.ToString() ?? string.Empty;

        e.AutomationValue = $"{header} {valueText}";
    }
