DataLayoutControl.CurrentItem Property

Gets or sets the object whose properties are being currently displayed and edited by the DataLayoutControl. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.LayoutControl

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.LayoutControl.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.LayoutControl

Declaration

C#

public object CurrentItem { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property CurrentItem As Object

Property Value

Type	Description
Object	An object whose properties are being currently edited.

Remarks

When you bind an object to the CurrentItem property, the DataLayoutControl generates a layout (DataLayoutItems with embedded editors) to display and edit the bound object’s public properties.

If the new and old values of the CurrentItem property have the same type, the layout is not regenerated. The DataContext of generated items is only updated.

When the CurrentItem object’s value is changed or a new layout is generated, the DataLayoutControl.CurrentItemChanged event fires.
