Property Value

DataTemplate	null	A DataTemplate that displays content in the left part of the Group Panel.

<dx:ThemedWindow x:Class="GroupPanelExample.MainWindow"
                 xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                 xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

    <dxg:GridControl ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
        <dxg:GridControl.View>
            <dxg:TableView
                ShowGroupPanel="True"
                GroupPanelLeftContentTemplate="{StaticResource GroupPanelLeftTemplate}"/>

    <dxg:GridControl.View>
        <dxg:TableView GroupPanelLeftContentTemplate="{StaticResource MasterLeftTemplate}"/>
    </dxg:GridControl.View>
    <dxg:GridControl.DetailDescriptor>
        <dxg:DataControlDetailDescriptor ItemsSourceBinding="{Binding Children}">
            <dxg:GridControl AutoGenerateColumns="AddNew">
                <dxg:GridControl.View>
                    <dxg:TableView ShowGroupPanel="True"
                                   GroupPanelLeftContentTemplate="{StaticResource DetailLeftTemplate}"/>
                </dxg:GridControl.View>

    </dxg:GridControl.DetailDescriptor>
</dxg:GridControl>
