Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

C#

public string DisplayText { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property DisplayText As String

Property Value

Type	Description
String	A String value that specifies the text displayed within the processed group row.

Example

The following example shows how to apply custom rules to group rows. When you group data by the Unit Price column, rows in this column that have values between 0 and 10 are combined into a single group. Rows whose values fall between 10 and 20 are combined into another group, and so forth.
