Property Value

Type	Description
Style	A Style object that is the style that contains settings common to all columns generated using different templates.

Remarks

The GridControl can be bound to a collection of objects containing column settings, described in a Model or ViewModel. The GridControl generates columns based on column templates. Create multiple templates, one template for each column type. Using a single template, you can create an unlimited number of columns in an unlimited number of grid controls.

To specify settings common to all columns generated using different templates, create a style and assign it to the ColumnGeneratorStyle property.

XAML

<UserControl.Resources>
    <Style x:Key="ColumnStyle" TargetType="dxg:GridColumn">
        <Setter Property="FilterPopupMode" Value="CheckedList"/>
        <Setter Property="FieldName" Value="{Binding FieldName}"/>
    </Style>
</UserControl.Resources>
