Property Value

Type	Description
DataTemplate	A DataTemplate object that defines the presentation of worksheet cells.

Remarks

The cell template allows you to completely change the look and feel of worksheet cells while maintaining their present behavior.

Use the CellTemplate property to define a template that specifies the visualization of worksheet cells. The binding source for the CellTemplate template is represented by the DevExpress.Xpf.Spreadsheet.CellData class.

The image and sample code below demonstrate how to use a custom cell template to display a cell formula in a callout at the top right corner of the cell.
