Property Value

Type	Description
ICommand<NodeDisplayTextArgs>	Contains properties that identify the processed cell.

Remarks

Bind a command to the CustomColumnDisplayTextCommand property to maintain a clean MVVM pattern. The command works like a CustomColumnDisplayText event handler and allows you to customize a data cell’s display text in a View Model.

The command is called for bound and unbound columns. The printed GridControl also displays customized text.

The DisplayTextArgs.DisplayText property contains a cell’s display text. To customize the display text, assign a string value to this property.

XAML

<dxg:GridControl ItemsSource="{Binding Source}">
    <dxg:GridControl.View>
        <dxg:TreeListView CustomColumnDisplayTextCommand="{Binding CustomColumnDisplayTextCommand}"/>
    </dxg:GridControl.View>
    <dxg:TreeListColumn FieldName="ProductName" IsSmart="True"/>
    <dxg:TreeListColumn FieldName="Country" IsSmart="True"/>
    <dxg:TreeListColumn FieldName="City" IsSmart="True"/>
    <dxg:TreeListColumn FieldName="Value" IsSmart="True"/>
</dxg:GridControl>
