Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v20.2.Core.dll

See GetVisibleIndex(DependencyObject) and SetVisibleIndex(DependencyObject, Int32).

Returns

Type	Description
Int32	An integer value that specifies the column’s position among visible columns.

Remarks

A column’s visible order doesn’t correspond to its position within the grid’s GridControl.Columns collection. The column’s visual position is specified by its VisibleIndex property. The column, whose VisibleIndex property value is set to 0 is leftmost within a View, etc.
